A sad day for European Soccer. An investigation into match-fixing has uncovered 680 (!) suspicious games.
Europol said 425 match officials, club officials, players and criminals from at least 15 countries were involved in fixing the European soccer games dating back to 2008.
Whoa. And it's not just in Europe, either.
'This is the tip of the iceberg,'' said Friedhelm Althans, a German investigator who said two World Cup qualification matches in Africa and one in Central America were among those under suspicion.
And the origin of the fixing is actually in Asia.
A Singapore-based criminal network was involved in the match-fixing, spending up to (euro) 100,000 ($136,500) per match to bribe players and officials.
I'm afraid to hear the details when they actually come out. I was just starting to get excited about the impending Champions League round of 16.
