Foul Play: the Shady World of Football Match Fixing

Across Asia, millions of football fans passionately support their teams, with no idea that often the outcome of the match would have been decided long before the game begins.
A sophisticated network of match fixers have an iron grip on the game, players on low salaries are vulnerable to bribes and coaches who raise questions are removed by team owners.
This film compiles evidence of corruption across Asia, and follows the trials of a British coach doing his best to steer an Indonesian team to success in an environment which doesn’t necessarily want him to succeed.

Poor Simon Mcmenemy😂. His national team squad chosen was the result of a poll by Indonesian netizens. He was the worst coach in the national team in the past.

Kompetisi ada match fixing dimana gregetnya?? Pelaku sepakbola harusnya malu klo mrka ikut pengaturan skor. Harus punya harga diri.

i can see how frustrating this is, sometimes you may have good intentions but people you work with don't feel the same way, I've seen this too many times.. sadly common things in here, on many organizations..just like that one coach said, football is just a mirror of whatever is going on in this country....

This is a story about Simon, inserted with an unrelated story of alleged match fixing.

'Fixing' is in everything not just football. Big money makes sure its makes big money. The peasants gamble, the rich want guaranteed money. Fifa is the biggest football corruption of all time.

I have a season ticket in the k league. Games are often fixed. Look for high paying draws. Players had no idea what the manager was talking about.
