When I said an "obvious case of kelong", I wasn't referring to the manner of the match fixing but the context and circumstances that surround the match. Spain and Croatia would know better than to fix a 2-2 draw, cognisant that it would arouse widespread suspicion.
Score from 0-0 to 10-0 can always be a realistic score.
I didn't say it can't be fixed. What I said was that, contrary to the beliefs of some punters, football isn't WWE. Never did I dismiss match fixing at the highest level altogether. There are loads of money involved in the game. But in the history of match fixing exposes, bribes rarely, if ever, amounted to more than a million pounds.
You agree that there's possibility of match fixing in the highest level, contrary to what you have said so far.
I'm sure you thought Greece's Euro 2004 victory was fixed too. If Barcelona had played their true game, Chelsea wouldn't have won too. Football is a game played on paper. Favourites must always win. If they don't, it's fixed.
No, it happens that Greece was the underdogs in every of those games they played, especially AH. They don't fix the Champion, the Champion progresses through by being the underdog in AH bets of the matches they play.
As I've explained before, at the highest level of football, it's virtually impossible to score against a team that parks the bus where space to maneuver is limited to mere millimetres. I thought the Russians could do the impossible. But I was wrong. Doesn't change the fact though that upsets are more than probable when teams defend as if their lives depended on it.
what are the odds France will be knock out?
it seems no matter what is the outcome England vs Ukraine, France still advance right?
And they will succeed tonight.
What has that got to do with what I said? 2-2 is a realistic score. Doesn't change the fact that it would arouse suspicion and force investigators to probe into matters. Like someone else has said, kelonging is an art. Nobody would be so dumb as to fix a 2-2 when everyone thinks 2-2 is an indication of match fixing.
Score of 2-2 of don't seem to be a weird result.
When did I say that it's impossible for match fixing to take place at the highest level? Show me the quote.

Thanks for corroborating my understanding of the warped theories of kelong believers. Next time, no one can accuse me of misrepresenting the conspiracy theorists by claiming that every upset to a kelong believer is a fix. I_Hate_Pappies clearly believes that Greece's 2004 win was a result of a series of kelongs.
Yes, i have explained. Greece happened to be the underdog on every opponent it met along the way to be the Champion, supported by weak handicaps along the way. Champion of tournaments are not fixed before the ball start rolling. Greece was not fixed to be the Champion from Day 1. Base on per match basis. Every end result must make the most profit overall.
Spain can get a goal easily against teams that concentrate 8 players in a small area? They couldn't do so last night. They couldn't do so against Switzerland in the last world cup. Of course, there must be an alternative explanation: kelong. But what I have are factual observations of Spain struggling to score against packed defences and what you have are unsubstantiated speculation. If you think Spain can easily get a goal while being outnumbered by international defenders and that the failure to do so is a consequence of match fixing, prove it. Simple as that.
Not directed at you but i am not interested in bets like these but a certain moron is showing it off while i couldn't care less.
That is absurd.
Bro, congratz. You sound like HoundDog from the old forum.
Congratulation on your winning Bro!
