FIFA world cup scam

[Dunamisx]

People discussing during numerous pages how corrupted FIFA is and how Argentina is going to win this tournament, because refs are bribed.

Now even if it was truly believed that the referees are being bribed, everything has come in an opposite direction for them in such a way that does not permit for corruption to take place, but just try to understand this that there is no facts on this to have taken place, this is just based on random people's opinion and we cannot establish any thing about bribery over the FIFA world cup in favor of Argentina, boss as we may have everything being well justified, Spain made it to the peak of their performance and one day trophy at last in a just manner.

I do not really agree with the fact that the World cup tournament would be having anything match fixing because the day such happens, the tournament would be a caricature of itself losing value and trust and nobody would likely be interested in it anymore because it could be tagged a waste of time. This is why every offense during the world cup is greeted with punitive measures to instill discipline and orderliness in the system. So I don't see anyways the world cup tournament would experience a possible match fixing scenario except for scammers who would want to take advantage of gullible gamblers ignorance to scam them as that is always their ways of scamming.

People think very foolishly, this type reasoning cannot escape those that are either addicted to gambling or those that are close to getting addicted.
This the reason why we should be careful with who we discuss with, some has gone out of hand in terms of gambling to the extent that they think there's nothing that can be done as far as it has to do with gambling, if I may ask who will be fixing the match, in favour of which National team exactly, nothing like match fixing in the FIFA world cup, no match official will embark on such risk considering how coordinated the competition is.

I have never believed that matches are fixed and if it's true that matches are being fixed, how do they do it because it sounds weird to me, like for example one will liase with the officials and team coaches and tell them to play a draw or allow the other team to beat them?, honestly it sounds so funny and unbelievable to me. Some gamblers have such a low mentality to thinking that matches are being fixed.

This mentality comes into play when a gambler has place some bets and at the long run couldn't win so in order to console himself he will now made the proclamation that games are fixed, most at times we allow greed to take over our senses of reasoning as gamblers we shouldn't be influenced by what people say and act on it because it will cause us money, I agree with you on this that no game was fixed during the world cup, if it was to be fixed why didn't the official fix it for Argentina to win, this are mere rumors spread to devalue the world cup.

Exactly my sentiment here, but why can't some gamblers just accept their loss and move on instead of trying to say things that we know that does not exist and even if it does, not in FIFA world cup, one thing that comes to my mind when people think like this is that, which of the teams that was in the world cup,  will want to take part in match fixing? Because going by what I understand by match fixing, such dirty deal will not only involve the match officials alone, some players will get involved, even is f not all has to be aware, the two coaches has to work together to avoid suspicion right, and how can this happen with FIFA being aware, how much will be involved in such high level of risk, is it not obvious that some people have allowed their emotions to control their sense of reasoning.

Some matches are fixed but they are lower league matches that people do not know much about. We have seen couch or manager of the the clubs in the lower leagues that were banned or suspended for match fixing. The chance that match fixing will occur in World Cup is less than 0.1% in a way that no match will be fixed, but some people are just scammed because of how stupid they are.

There has been no issue of fixing in big matches so far, so sports betting has been the mainstay of the gambling industry. Billions of dollars are bet on football every season. And in the case of the FIFA World Cup, the amount is much higher. If you think about it a little naturally, you will understand that fixing in a game like the World Cup is absolutely impossible. You may be right, where fixing can happen in lower-level league matches, match that are not watched or are not that popular. But I have not seen any news of this kind either. Maybe they are so unpopular that they are not even news or even on social media. And if one of the matches held in the World Cup really wants to be fixed, then think about it, all the players in the match will have to be influenced. The match manager, owner and all the referees will also have to be brought under control. And now everything is videotaped, the decisions of the Video Assistant Referee  will also have to be controlled. In addition, the audience will notice with all their attention. In that case, it is absolutely impossible for FIFA management to make a decision to fix. And so far, there has been no evidence where any match in the FIFA World Cup has been fixed. It is completely pointless to prove fixing by raising these issues only that the favorite team lost, strong and popular team did not score goal or the referee mistake.

That's just the mindset of people, maybe they didn't want Argentina to win, which is why they are making sure they use every little opportunity to make big deal out of it, even if there is no evidence to proof themselves. Anyways, Spain have corrected that impression as people won't no longer say what they are not sure and people got to also verify every information before making use of it, to prevent making wrong decisions.

If we don't talk about the entire tournament of this World Cup, but only talk about the final match between Argentina and Spain, and if we don't just look at which countries are playing in the World Cup to check whether the game is completely fair, but only look at the performance of that match, then those who understand the game will be able to say who had more possession of the ball, who passed the ball more and who attacked the target more. Also, who was more aggressive in terms of fouls and who received more cards. No one will be able to show any evidence for those who say that there was bias in the game or that the referees were corrupt. Football is a game and one team loses and the other wins.Those who cannot accept this are their problem.

We, regular people, managed to catch casino bribery Just by monitoring activity evidences of scam and later bribery was discovered. Why not monitor funds, referee activity for some period and try to spot difference in behavior. It is clear to everyone who is executor - referee, because his decisions impacted on game result. Why not investigate his funds movement? It is clear that if was bribed, he has received a really huge amount of money; not couple of thousands that will dissolve in daily expenses. I dont think that if a person has received millions or hundreds thousands as a bribe, he will resist whole life from spending them to avoid being caught.

No, he will not. Unusually large transactions should be flagged anyway, but for the referees that were in matches that raised questions it should go straight to the police. And actually I think that's how it's done since recently. Scamming in sports on the high level becomes increasingly impossible.

Even if an investment is conducted, what are the chances that it won't be swept under the carpet because of the high profile names which might be involved in the case?~

It's very hard to "swept under the carpet" something these days. Yes, the high profile names always have supporters that will be helping them to hide uncomfortable information, but they always have some enemies too.

The outcome of all these "surprising events":

UEFA Is Looking for a Replacement for Infantino Following the High-Profile FIFA Scandal
According to The Telegraph, European soccer officials are discussing a candidate who could challenge Gianni Infantino in the 2027 FIFA presidential election.
Among the possible contenders are CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani and AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa. European candidates are not being considered at this time.
Dissatisfaction with Infantino has intensified following his plan to sell a stake in FIFA’s commercial arm to private investors. UEFA has called the project non-transparent and stated that the organization’s leadership has lost the trust of a significant portion of the soccer community.

Match fixing have nothing to do with a competition or a league, but it has more to do with the will of the players, coaches or the referee. Because we have head of stories how a single player will place a bet through a relative or a friend that he is going to be booked, and he can easily get that done with his actions on the field. So even in this just concluded world cup tournament, their is a possibility that some games might be fix by either the players, coaches, referee or even some top ranking official. Just because it's a world cup doesn't mean that games cannot be fixed, and as a matter of fact, it would even be more juicy to these guys, since it's a world cup tournament.

How this is connected with people blaming FIFA for helping Argentina and Messi to win games during WC 2026 ? Or to Infantino decision to cancel red card after Trump call? Infantino was planning to sell only part for private investors. I dont think these private investors would have any chances to influence on FIFA president decisions. However, Infantino has been on his position for too long. It is time to change this bald from Brazzers wannabe

There is something that you have not gotten right, match fixing is a manipulation but not all manipulations in matches are manipulations. What you have described is a manipulation but in short it is not a match fixing. This is occuring in several sports but most common in basket ball. Match fixing in world cup will be very difficult to occur, but not all manipulations can easily be known.

The problem why you think that what I described is not a match fixing is that you are not getting the full definition of match fixing right, because when talking about match fixing, we are not talking about just the final result of the game, but influencing other aspect of the match.
If am not wrong, the Galatasaray president was accused in the past of match fixing, that he made a bet that Galatasaray goalkeeper will score in a particular match, and as it was planned, the goalkeeper scored a penalty. And I heard that it was that bet that raised the money for them to be able to sign Victor osimhen. So why am saying this is that, match fixing is not tied to only the results, but also to other part of the game that can be bet on, like goals, penalty and card.

Isn't there a law prohibiting anyone affiliated with a football club from making bets related to the said football club?

Maybe it depends on a jurisdiction, Turkey could have it different bit if it's allowed there, I wouldn't say that there's anything illegal in what he did. He could ask the couch to let the goalkeeper do the penalty but the bet was on whether the goalkeeper will score so in this scenario two events he had to control over had to happen: Galatasaray getting a penalty andthe goalkeeper scoring.

The odds would be not so favourable so I would see it as a simple gamble which wouldn't be legal in many parts of the world but it it's legal where he is, then good luck.

It’s very simple-CORRUPTION! Corruption that permeates sports, from low-level bureaucrats all the way up to the heads of international organizations. Where there is not only the "right to reward", but also the "right to make a phone call" to secure the desired decision. What I’m saying is that this is becoming a global corruption machine, where huge amounts of money are changing hands, and there are very powerful connections with the highest levels of leadership in countries and federations. Does any of this surprise you?

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Corruption exists everywhere to some degree, and sports are no exception. And in an organization like FIFA, it's bound to exist by default. Replacing Infantino might reduce corruption within the organization for a short while, but it won't eliminate it. It's possible that Infantino himself was clean when he first became FIFA president, but over time, as he managed operations and massive sums of money, he started getting increasingly tangled up in corrupt schemes. Whether FIFA will actually benefit from a change of leadership, I don't know.

With so much controversy going on with Infantino FIFA should be more aware now with the proposal for a change of President but this also won't look easy enough to do.

Infantino is still strong with the one association voting system that FIFA is still doing so this will make Infantino strong because he is prepared with FIFA Forward which always leads to small countries.

In addition, it cannot be denied although we have to put aside politics but here the FIFA president now has a pretty good closeness with some superpowers so this can also make it easier for him to be comfortable with his position.
Some names such as Nasser Al Khelaifi who has been pushed to challenge Infantino don't seem interested in doing so because he is satisfied as the current owner of the club rather than trying to compete for the FIFA presidency.

But can anyone think world cup match can be fixed? Such people are not just scammed, they are foolish.

No one is sure About any fixed matches even though there has been some reasons to believe it's real but no one has solid evidence of that. People that fall victims to scammers telling them that they have fixed predictions for the world cup lack information and they are very gullible to believe such.

The world cup isn't a small competition, it involves the whole world and this means that there are lots of people that are going to be focused on it. There is a lot of scrutinization and monitoring that goes on and even though FIFA tries to rig the game it is not really something they can do successfully.

For those that have come to understand betting and football they know that such does not exist, If the scammers had access to such informations they would not need to sell it to others because they will be too busy making money for themselves.

this link I am about to drop here will be very beneficial to us as an added knowledge. It is a documentary on how FIFA came about but more importantly when FIFA shifted its focus from being a world competition that was created to bring about unity and togetherness among the nations involved to when that main idea was changed to something else we see today which is the monetization of fifa games leading to the scams happening from when countries pay briberies worth in hundreds of millions and billions of dollars to become host countries even when they do not completely meet the kind of standards required to this point of match fixing and so on. It is quite unfortunate that we have all agreed to choose money over integrity, reputation and honesty globally there by engaging in all kinds of activities that goes against the norms and rules of the game.

Let's i forget, this is the link: FIFA’s decades of corruption exposed by Mehdi Hassan on Zeteo

Many fans truly believe this and think their teams lost because of it, but I think it's the pain of defeat that creates such thoughts. And I'm certainly sure FIFA has nothing to do with it, because it's impossible to influence teams and players who have dedicated their lives to football at the highest level. It's certainly possible, as I have no evidence to the contrary, but the chances are so slim that I'm willing to discount it, at least for myself. While that doesn't mean it will continue, I'll still watch the matches closely and raise doubts if there's any reason to.
