Well, let's make it clear guys: in football, nobody really wants games to be 100% fair and according to rules; if they did, the rules would involve TV replays and extra referees in studios long ago. Professional football isn't played to determine the best team; it's played to make big, big money. In order to succeed at this, all sort of controversy is required to heat up the hype. People will keep bitching about ref conspiracies, but the only conspiracy is to keep the game in the current erratic state, because without it, there wouldn't be much more to talk about other than "great play by winners" blah blah blah stuff...

By the way, the only pro club I know that is constantly aided by refs and hardly ever gets hurt by bad calls is Juventus. Is it a coincidence that the old offenders keep doing so well? I'm no expert, don't ask me.

I am pretty sure football wouldnt lose its fanbase when controversial decisions would be gone...

why the heck should it? you dont need controversial decisions for an epic football game o.O

controversial decisions do add an element of unpredictability which in many ways makes the game more exciting. football is basically the most random out of all team sports and I'm quite certain that adds to its popularity - knowing that every now and then, even barcelona loses vs celtic.

hell, that's a large part of why barcelona has been considered so boring. their system of perfectly maintaining possession meant that the other team wasn't even given the chance to make some magic happen and during their peak, they actually looked unbeatable. and thus, boring.

They beat Barca using the referees some years ago.

Imagine a place where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, where you can pick autumn fruits in the morning, bathe in the Adriatic in the afternoon, and go night skiing in the evening…It’s Slovenia!

So much baiting going on in this thread. As a Chelsea fan, I know my team has never rigged matches. We've consistantly hated uefa and always been at the front line in the battle against corruption and degeneracy in the european house of football.

For me thats enough, just have to wait a couple of years to see what happens when a ref caves in and spills the beans on european football.

Lol im pretty sure Arsenal fans have one of these "good time to be Arsenal" fan moments quite alot though xD

The master vs The Apprentice is actually a good title for tomorrows game, because on the bais of the way both clubs have started you would argue they both are in the same sort of position.
So it might come down to managers teams/tactics!

Anyone thinks we might have a revote for Qatar's world cup given the recent scandals?

FIFA will NEVER admit they fucked up, but maybe with these recent scandals on top of the pressure to have a winter world cup, it's their biggest opportunity to pull the plug. I would...and i would love England to bid to rescue it <3

Probably not, because Russia counts as Europe unfortunately If Qatar fails, the US will most likely be the next best candidate.

Arkadiusz Milik gets his first goal for Augsburg to salvage a late point against Gladbach

Edit @ above: Why not Australia? I think that they deserve it much more than the USA does.

Some time zones are going to get fucked, no matter where you hold the World Cup. Though I get your point. You don't want to alienate Europe and the Americas, because that's probably where most of the revenue and viewership comes from.

Time zone aside, Australia is a big country with a relatively small population, little interest in football and very far for the majority of countries to travel to. The US is moderately far still and little interest in football, but has a massive population with enough diversity to fill all the stadiums. However Home land security can be a real bitch, so it's probably something to consider as well.
