Juventus and the other teams have bribed certain referees and then affected the selection of referees so that these certain referees are in their matches. At least that's how I've understood it. The players haven't been accused of anything. It's good that these scumbags get what they deserve. How AC Milan escaped the bigger punishments is beyond me though, could be because of Berlusconi?

Well, the reason is bribing & game fixing. Especially Juventus was very active with this. They "bought" victories from other teams, and also bought referees to fix the games. Everything came out only a few months before the world cup.

AC Milan are staying in the top flight. |
Yeah but they got a 15 point deduction so they won't be champions this year. They also cannot compete in European championships.

Thirteen of Italy's World Cup-winning squad play for the clubs involved, with five at Juventus, who also number Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram, David Trezeguet, Pavel Nedved and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in their ranks.
Many of them are expected to seek transfers to other leading clubs in Italy or Europe to limit the damage to their careers.
Let the scramble begin..... |
Del Piero is staying though.

A fair sacrifice would be the English, after all, they are all made as welcome as a fart in spacesuit, wherever they go.
I guess they can't let go of the old empire, that the US made them dump after WW2.

...never in a million years would the FA or Premier League have the guts to do anything like that..........you have to applaud the regulatory body in Italy for being tough - although it's interesting that Berlusconi's team gets the lightest sentence...

Wow what a punishment handed out today to the 4 Italian Clubs!
Serie A sides Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina have been demoted to the second division for their involvement in Italy's match-fixing scandal.
Juventus were also stripped of their last two Serie A titles and had 30 points deducted, meaning they are likely to stay down for two seasons.
AC Milan will stay in Serie A but will start the season docked 15 points.
All are barred from competing in Europe - Juventus, Milan and Fiorentina the Champions League; Lazio the Uefa Cup.
Lazio were penalised seven league points while Fiorentina suffered a 12-point penalty.
I guess they will appeal. |
Mamma mia! But I did not see here also the new champs for the titles Juve lost...

When will Poland win a major world football championships?  (Including UEFA Cup, Champions League, etc.) |
Weren't they, the Polish, Olympic Champions in 1972?
Later they got two WC 3rd places in 1974 (defeating Brazil) and 1982 (defeating France).
Few people know but Poland is the team that scored more goals against Brazil. In the WC 1938 they had 5... but the final result was Brazil 6 x Poland 5.

Sorry Tony but ELP fan burning was made illegal a few years ago under a protection order.Its also environmentally unfriendly.However dismembering Dream Theater and Marillion fans is allowed plus anyone admitting to owning a Pavlovs Dog album.You are also allowed to give a sharp poke in the eye to anyone claiming that Gentle Giant are the best band ever.

No it isn't. If it was called soccer, the international governing body would be called FISA rather than FIFA.
As for that bizarre rugby-with-body-armour affair that the ex-colonials are so fond of, I predict that this season's Superdish finalists will be the Arkansas Rednecks and the Tampa Bay Tampons, with the Arkansas Rednecks to win on points after photo finish in the 12th round. |
