    It is to fool people. Do not get fooled. Why would they make it obvious? Why not get some goals for your players? Come on man think a bit. 3/4 goals were obviously inorganic, no equalizing goal has been organic. It will finish 2-2. That is how you know it is fixed. The final result is the best indicator. Also, there will not be any very close chance in the last 5-10 minutes. Again, that is how you know it is fixed.

    If it's fixed why are they just passing the ball around in the last 15 minutes. Then all of a sudden go for the kill. It looks organic that they arent risking anything in the last 15 like they did early on.

    Basically its defacto fixed but not officially, if that makes sense.

    To fool people like they unfortunately did to you. Think about it absolutely logically: if it was not fixed, why on earth start attacking all out at the beginning? This makes 0 sense in a game where a loss will mean you are out, in a game where the opponent is roughly the same level as you. If it was organic both would have played cautiously from the start.

    But instead 3/4 goals were obviously inorganic, the 1 organic goal was early in the game so it could be afforded. And they did 2-2 instead of 0-0 to not arouse suspicious, and this way their players got to increase their goal count again.

    Every indication is that this is match fixing. Silly Austria, all this to get ravaged by Spain. And Algeria is going to get knocked out by Switzerland. I would have no problem if they did not match fix and passed the ball around in the last 15 minutes: that would be reasonable. But because they match fixed from the beginning both are dirty teams.

    Are you ok? How simple is it to trick you? This is exactly an indication of match fixing. Back to back goals each time. Leaving it late to pretend it is not fixed then regardless bizarrely 1/10000 chance 2 goals in injury time back to back. Some people are so easy to fool. These are professional players: it is VERY easy for them to trick people. They have very good control of the ball. It is not a Sunday league. It is like training for them to score on demand with no/feigned resistance.

    Match was over at 2 x 2. There was absolutely no need for the last two goals to window dress. Very high risk to do it with almost no time left.

    New enemies in football: Austria and Algeria. They not only did match fixing but did it in the most cruel manner: why? Simply why? I hope Spain runs a train on Austria and Switzerland pounds Algeria.

    Do you even stat bro? How likely do you think something like this would happen due to pure chance alone? How many times this world cup has there been 2 injury time goals in same game? For it to happen in the exact match that a draw was exactly needed? You think it is just due to chance? Using statistics alone there is like less than 1% chance. Good think they cut the stream early so I did not have to watch this unfold in real time lol.

    Even in the 1% chance it was not match fixing, Algeria allowed that specific goal on purpose, to not play Spain.

    Anyways the footballing gods will get Austria and Algeria for this, they always do. Again, if they both initially played for the draw then organically started passing it around in last 20 mins, I would have no problem with that. But match fixing from the getgo is wrong. Neither of these teams are impressive: why are you doing this for? For what? So you can get embarrassed by Spain and Switzerland anyways? At least have some dignity it is not like you are getting something that much better to ruin your image for. I mean if teams did this during qualifiers to get into world cup at least that is something, but this just for a round of 32 defeat when you already made it to the 2nd round in your past?

    Iran has no one to blame but themselves. They should not have tied a team like New Zealand.
