    No it is not. Why cheer for it if it is really fixed

    Course there not all fixed. If every football match was fixed it would be pretty obvious, Think of all the leagues in the world, why would every match be fixed?

    Yes there are games that might be fixed, like a few years ago in Italy with all the match fixing scandals but the majority of matches aren't fixed.

    There might be some matches that are fixed but I doubt all of them are.

    Well I don't think so that all matches are fixed. I agree that some of them are fixed and we know big Italy scandle .

    There was a recent case of a football match in Singapore that is fixed.
    So yeah... on occasions you may find them here and there.

    It's the mighty buck that rules, why make an exception for soccer.

    It's like saying that everything is conspiracy, isn't it?

    There is lots of bad out there, it doesn't mean that everything is bad.

    Can't really fix a premiership match, some players earn over $200,000/week, so they're not going to risk losing their jobs just for a few million which they don't need.

    Maybe some matches yes, but not all of them, that’s not possible.

    Highly unlikely.

    Match fixing does exist, but not certainly not every game.

    I don't think it is fixed. The risk is too hard to handle. But sometimes it happens.

    That would completely ruin soccer... and as everyone else said, it would be easy to tell.
