The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime | Declan Hill

1 post | 1 read

The Fix is the most explosive story of sports corruption in a generation. Intriguing, riveting, and compelling, it tells the story of an investigative journalist who sets out to examine the world of match-fixing in professional soccer. From the Introduction Understand how gambling fixers work to corrupt a soccer game and you will understand how they move into a basketball league, a cricket tournament, or a tennis match (all places, by the way, that criminal fixers have moved into). My views on soccer have changed. I still love the Saturday-morning game between amateurs: the camaraderie and the fresh smell of grass. But the professional game leaves me cold. I hope you will understand why after reading the book. I think you may never look at sport in the same way again.

The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime | Declan Hill

bailed

Yes, match fixing is bad and a thing in soccer. Corruption at the highest level taints the sport. Trouble with Declan Hill is that he is a crime reporter that wants the organized crime part of match fixing to be far more sinister than it actually is, far too conspiracy driven for my taste.
