It's freaking disgusting and sooo obvious, I don't understand how this isn't getting even MORE attention. This is soccer football for shitsake, and a team manages to destroy a seven goal differental between them and the team they needed to tie with in a 7-1 win!?!? Two offside goals get called goals. Then there's the fact that the team they're up against is not in a very financially secure situation and has absolutely nothing to lose by accepting money to lose. Then the fact that Zagreb also gets money from Lyon the farther Lyon gets in the CL because of a transfer they made last season. So. Lyon has plenty to gain, Zagreb has nothing to lose by losing the game but sooo much to gain.
Then the Ajax game itself, personally I don't actually know what the deal with the fact the ref's assistant was Portugese has to do with it, but I've been seeing a lot of talk about that, apparently there's a serious link here. So considering that fact, the asswhipe calls two onside goals offside and the other linesman calls a Real offside goal onside.
I understand the idea that you win some, you lose some, but when this all adds up, its downright disgusting and unfair. And I mean the ramifications for not moving on to the next round are huge financially for clubs, they loose millions of dollars which could be used to support a better team into the future.
