This article is really clutching at straws, the only semi-tangible example of match fixing given is a supremely unimportant friendly between Guatemala and South Africa. It also hints at "targeting" of a match between the footballing minions of the USA and Australia, without actually suggesting that the targeting was successful. It's far from ideal to have footballers or referees from these countries engaging in match fixing, but these are very minor nations in the football world and it would have no affect on the important results of the World Cup whatsoever.
