    I think in Asia a lot of the league games are fixed by the actual clubs themselves, not so much for gambling but to survive the league and not get relegated. Someone told me the Chinese league is actually full of cash, the players and clubs get really good salaries mostly from endorsements and sponsorship, arguably one reason why they dont do well on the international stage is because of the lack of motivation, why work hard to play in japan or korea or europe when you can stay at home and get millions.

    The Italian Serie A and Serie B are the WORST! There have been numerous scandals in the last 15 years and I am sure that it continues. Just performing a basic search for Italian football match fixing yields tons of news related results.

    matches are fixed in every single league mate if they didn't fix matches, soccer wouldn't be as good as it is, maybe it wouldn't exist at all.

    Agree. Not only in leagues but in international competitions too. Has anyone forgot the 2-2 draw between Sweeden and Denmark in Euro 2004???

    International world events are even more dirty than league games. Each Euro and World cup are fixed because of amount of money in the games, each game is playing at one time. Its not in regular season and everyone's focus is one game at a time.

    Even the basketball bettors who never bet soccer and people who never bet before join betting in those events.

    LOL, if that game was fixed then the fixer should be pardoned and awarded a lifetime achievement prize for scripting what transpired in that game.
