Messi is getting old. Can't even score on penalty kick. That was the last straw. After that , you know that the game was more or less given away.
Well, to be fair, Iceland goalie put in one of the most outstanding performance in this World Cup. He made some incredible saves. Enough to punch the air out of Messi team.

Icelandic supporters number up to about 30,000 strong, about 10% of their population?

i double down on Denmark game to recoup my losses on Arg.

 

[ThePimp]

Do you mean that he took a payout to miss it? That is impossible. Besides the fact that he is already earning millions, a world cup win for him would mean even more millions in image rights and endorsements. You can bet his advisers would have already told him that many times. Not forgetting personal pride and sporting achievement to someone who already has more money than he can spend in a lifetime.

not necessary by way of payout.

his connections just have to wager / bets on anything less than or = to 2 goals max.

if messi tasked to fixe it max 2 goals. he refused to score.

just imagine this match total pool size $$$ worldwide for all bets types 3 goals and above.

in the billions $$$.

legal and bookies all included.

Usually its the old uncles who have never played any sports who will cry father cry mother of kelong after losing $10 on a bet. In their pea brain, they think fixing a game is easy. In all honesty, if you have played football or any sport, you will know that the outcome of winning or losing is very unpredictable. A lot depends on form, luck and a combination of many factors. It's not easy to fix a match at this level. Maybe at lower levels, throwing away matches is easier. First of all, world-class players earn millions so there is no incentive to fix games. Even if the want to, football is a team game and everyone must be on the same page. They have reached a point where having glory is more important than financial gains. Secondly, the eyes of everyone is on their every move. To work on a penalty and then to purposely miss it is ludicrous. I remember there is this one match during the Suzuki Asean Cup years ago when Indonesia purposely scored an own goal to avoid Vietnam. That was quickly spotted out and they were penalized. To do something like that during the World Cup when more than a billion people are watching? I don't think so.

It's the same with politics. When politicians and civil servants are well paid, they are less likely to take bribes and fix their own citizens. See how smart the late Ah Gong was?

 

[CoffeeAhSoh]

world class players are also likely to declare and pay their taxes .
