Scandal in israeli fooball

(1/3) > >>

cahult:
Someone said earlier this day that he was from Israel. I read today about a scandal in israeli football. It seems four people, two players and two referees are involved in being bribed by unlawful betting organisations to fix games. At least they are accused of taking bribes.

This reminds me of a scandal in Hong Kong a few years back when a gang even shut all the lights out at a football stadium in England to please their masters who had betted on a draw!

Stilly:
when you say football do you mean as in soccer or as in Northamerican football?

He means soccer. And I'm the Israeli.

For what it's worth, I moved a few years back because of my parents here to the US, but this matter interests me. It wasn't Baetar Jerusalem, was it? Because they were once accused of doing such a thing, and they were my favorite soccer team.

suselinux:
he means football as in european football, or  "soccer" as we North Americans call it.
