FIFA, UEFA to Probe Bulgaria, Estonia 'Rigged' Friendly

FIFA and UEFA have agreed to investigate the international friendly between Bulgaria and Estonia, which took place in the Turkish resort of Antalya on Wednesday amid allegations of a possible manipulation.

The Bulgarian and Estonian football federations approached the European and world governing bodies after the match ended 2-2 with all four goals coming from the penalty spot.

The game was organized by the Thailand-based agency "Footy Sport International", while Russian Sergey Protsenko acted as an intermediary despite not holding a license by a FIFA manager.

The same people organized the previous match between Latvia and Bolivia, in which all three goals were also scored from penalties. Latvia beat Bolivia 2-1 in a friendly in the Mediterranean resort of Antalya just before the Bulgaria-Estonia game.

Hungarian referee Krisztian Selmeczi was in charge of both matches.

"We don't know this referee and we can't say he acted intentionally when awarding the penalties," said BFU vice-president Atanas Furnadzhiev.

Estonia FA spokesman Mihkel Uiboleht told local media the football team will never work with this agency again. The Estonian side had received information of a possible manipulation even before the game, he claims.

Midfielder Ivelin Popov scored both penalties for the Bulgarian team in the 40th and 83rd minutes, as did Estonian captain Konstantin Vassiljev at the 20 and 80 minute marks. Both squads staged a poor performance throughout the game, which will only be remembered with its penalty shots.

The Bulgarian team's coach and renowned former German international Lothar Matthaeus, who had especially demanded that a European team be chosen for this friendly match to prepare his squad for its next official clashes, did not hide his disappointment with the players' performance.

"I do not want to watch any more matches like the one against Estonia," Matthaeus said. "It is very hard to motivate the players in such a gloomy atmosphere especially when they play before some 100 spectators."

Lothar Matthaeus expressed the hope that from now on the Bulgarian team will have the chance to face only big and powerful teams in its friendlies and offered his help in organizing this.

selge on see siis et Matthausi pole motet siia peatreeneriks palgata proovidagi

- kuigi me pole süüdi selles skandaalis, siis ilmselt jääb siiski väike nõmedavõitu plekk külge ja on väga võimalik, et me ei saa mitu aastat enam viisakaid vastaseid sõprusmängudeks - paluks ajakirjanikel väga hoolikalt kaevata põhjani seda asja, kes konkreetselt ja reaalselt on Footy Sport International taga ning kes teenis(id) raha selle 'Antalya turniiri' korraldamise pealt...

Huvitav kas kui viimase 10 mintiga oleks kas Eesti v Bulgaaria värava löönd,oleks kohtunik kusagilt mingi suluseisu,käe või vea välja imenud.

Meintz,
vaja oli väravate arvu lihtsalt - over 2,5 (või over 3,5) väravat mängus kokku... vahet polnud kes/kas võidab

Esiteks - suht subjektiivne hinnang meeskondade mängule artikli kirjutaja poolt. See selleks.

Aga Matthäus võiks a) peeglisse vaadata ja b) pauerfuulsete meeskondade igatsuse vahepeale meelde tuletada, MILLE eest ta Ungarist kinga sai.
Sitt tunne jääb selle mehe juttu kuulates. Või nagu mu vanaisa ütles: räägi juttu, mis on jutt ja situ sitta, mis on sitt. Lothar ei tee kumbagi praegu.

FIFA lehel seda mängu pole, ei tea kas punkte saadi selle eest üldse?

FIFA lehel seda mängu pole, ei tea kas punkte saadi selle eest üldse?

Kuskilt lugesin, et just nimelt tänu sellele Bulgaaria mängule tõustigi FIFA tabelis 5 kohta.
