The most blatant display of a fixed game I've seen in a long time. It took place about a month ago in the Ukrainian First Division. The white team (Spartak Sumy) accidentally scores a goal on the 90th minute to tie the score at 1-1. The green team (Karpaty Lviv) is currently in first place, trying to win promotion to the Premier Division. As a side note, Karpaty do not televise any of their home games (it's no wonder why), asking for ridiculous amounts of money for the TV rights. Not sure if this footage was amateur (one of the fans), or done by the Ukrainian Football Federation.

So grab a beer, enjoy the game, and may the best team win :sarcasm:

No. These are our very own, homegrown crooks ;) The Gambling Chinese would flee in terror if they saw the amount of corruption in Ukrainian football :eek:

Well they do need to practise on their skills a bit :)

It's very comical how they were unhappy to score and then start giving passes to the other team. Also the goalie was outrageous on a few of those shots that went wide, jumping all the way to the other side of the goal when the shot went to the near post :D

That was the funniest. A weak header and he jumps like Carlos is shooting from 5 feet or something. :D

They defended like their lives depended on it :sarcasm:.
