I'm Sure the Scousers are Cheating!
UEFA is going to probe the 8-0 victory Liverpool posted over Besiktas due to a suspiciously high amount of bets that were placed on a large victory.
"German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung has claimed there was unusually high levels of betting on a high-score victory before the game.The paper suggested Besiktas players could have been targeted by Asian betting syndicates ahead of the game which saw the Reds romp to a record win thanks in part to Yossi Benayoun's hat-trick.
UEFA's director of communications, William Gaillard, has so far only confirmed an InterToto Cup clash between Makedonija and Cherno More is being officially investigated but admits a number of other games are under suspicion."
Sueddeutsche Zeitung. Sounds like something that should happen in the privacy of one's bedroom.
