Radamel Falcao has denied accusations he brokered a pact between his Colombia side and Peru in Tuesday's final CONMEBOL qualifier for the 2018 FIFA World Cup that saw the match end in a 1-1 draw that benefited both sides.
The AS Monaco striker said he tried to make it clear to Peru's players late in the Lima clash that, with Chile losing to Brazil, a draw would be enough to send Colombia through automatically and secure the hosts a play-off spot.
Imagine the cohanas you need to go to another country's club and broker a deal like that
Kayden Wood
Well why didn't Peru go for all and toss Colombia in play off spot?
Nathaniel Richardson
after he said that Peruvians pretty much stopped playing, just exchanging sideways passes under no pressure.
Josiah Sanders
So? Argentina and URgay had been doing the same for literal decades

Dylan Jackson
They even did it this year. The ammount of Arg 0 - 0 Uru in qualifying is staggering. It hapens at least once every cycle.
They could, but Chile went all out because they didn't had a choice and ended up conceding another goal. When both teams are happy with a draw there is jack shit that can be done about it.
Jaxon Hughes
>manner contrary to sporting ethics
Completely memetic vague arbitrary term.
Bentley Perez
Probably refers to the fifa's code of ethics if there is one
Jordan Moore
>They even did it this year. The ammount of Arg 0 - 0 Uru in qualifying is staggering. It hapens at least once every cycle. Yeah, but none of them were retarded enough as to talk to the press about it the way Falcao and other peruvian players did. The ones inflating this situation are the peruvian journalists and Paraguay btw
Juan Rogers
>lmao i was only joking dude wtf
Joshua Green
>people still crying about stuff like this It will always happen. If you want to qualify, win all your games so you have it in your own hands.
Xavier Lee
Our case isn't even comparable to those.
Both: Peru and Colombia played the match to ultimate consequences for 90 minutes, it was only the last 3 minutes, after the information from the other matches reaches the players, that they decide to lower the intensity of the game and go for a draw.
WOW, BIG FUCKING DEAL.
That disciplinary code talks about, ACTUAL cases of match fixing, when the result is already decided before the match. Can't wait to see you fail miserably you hypocritical faggot. Chile complaining about fair play is like watching a Tiger Woods give a sermon about marital fidelity. What a fucking joke.
James Cooper
Yeah, that's the problem doofus we can't that's why we do shit like this
Gavin Miller
>Anyone who conspires to influence the result of a match in a manner contrary to sporting ethics shall be sanctioned >In the case of a player or official unlawfully influencing the result of a match The match wasn't over so it's result was influenced by the players of both teams. You are pretty much fucked if Paraguay decides to put pressure on this (we won't) or someone else if this becomes international news
Isaac Ortiz
thanks for the circle i almost missed the text
Dylan Hall
Need to ask Bolivia about their Sea, because Chilel drowned their own country with tears.
Matthew Scott
>getting ass ravaged into googling fifa's code of conduct
Jaxon Anderson
didnt chileans learn their lessok about crying to fifa? wheres that image of the table if they didnt shit the bed asking for points agaisnt fucking bolivia? kek
Levi Lopez
Nothing is gonna happen. Sweden - Denmark did the exact same thing against Italy and everybody laughed hard and thought we were cool as fuck.
Nolan Cook
Did anyone admit that they fixed the game? Because that's what happened with colombia and peru, they admitted it. They are THAT retarded. We don't care because we don't even have a manager anymore. The one that are angry and would gladly go is the Paraguay team
Samuel Watson
you mad or what you lil shit? you're out, that's it, see you in 2022
Isaac Brooks
Paraguay bribed Venezuelan players with whores the night before they played. Based Venezuelans rejected it and beat them.
Brandon Rodriguez
this, paraguayans are lanlocked trash, venezuelans based.
Dylan Harris
this is getting embarrassing lol let it go
Isaac Turner
>Paraguay Free and democratic
>Venezuela Literally slave dictatorship
Jace Adams
>slave dictatorship they chose him
Tyler Foster
It's not even that they're that retarded. They're also saying "so? What are you gonna do about it?" Like they're going to get in trouble! It's a natural reaction.
Fixing a match on the fly amongst the players should be the same legal basis as attempting to escape from prison in Germany: totally legal because it's the natural human reaction.
Carter Diaz
>paragay no sea access and missed the WC when they had a chance with the last of the table >venezuela beautiful beaches, beautiful women and cucked many countries a chance to secure a spot at wc.
also >losing to trinity and tobogoon
John Fisher
>venezuelans based
Tienes que volver
Camden Kelly
Peru were attacking like madmen the last 10 minutes, risking their spot in a counter attack. Based Falcao just calmed them down. Even if Colombia lost, Chile would still be out.
he doesnt love the bros from the old gran colombia. venezuela is a great country just ruled to the ground by retards.
Cameron Murphy
>implying Chilel is going to qualify again
They had one decent generation and it's gone now. We probably won't see them until 2038
Nathaniel Brown
Jesus Christ, stop. This is fucking pathetic
Isaac White
>this is my first time watching football
Dominic Jones
Paraguay sent whores to Venezuela, they are already fucked
Jordan Wilson
kek
Luis Stewart
>have a result you're happy with, no reason to risk anything >other team does the same >REEE FIXING
Owen Adams
You should complain to TAS, oh wait...
Elijah Edwards
Chile did the exact same fucking thing in 2013, both teams qualified with the tie. youtu.be/iZ1PyUcwa-o Skip to 1:49:00

ayyyyy cucky
ayyyy faggy
Landon Nguyen
Shut the fuck up, Texas
Julian Gutierrez
>totally_not_rigged.webm
Michael Cooper
Rigged isn't the correct word, both teams needed a draw and just went for it. Stop crying
How's going for a result you need against the rules? They didn't want to lose winning when they were in with a draw and could get eliminated if they lost
Carson Long
Your players fucked all the good they had been doing with this shit. How can you be so dumb? Want to play for a draw with your opponent? That's fair, happens a lot and no one gets punished because because there's never any proof of an actual agreement.
Unless, you know, you go and make an explicit deal to draw during a match in front of hundred of cameras and then you go and confirm it during post match interviews.
You guys should get punished just because of how dumb you were at handling that.
Logan Price
You do now there's a difference between both teams independently deciding to go for a draw and both teams explicitly agreeing to draw, right? Hint: The first one doesn't break FIFA rules, the second one does.
Adrian Phillips
>good game 90 minutes >both teams agree to not really try to play extra time because the other matches are over and nobody needs the win, both teams ok with tie >WAAAAHW WAAAAAAAAH THEY SCREWED CHILE
Gavin Morris
>both teams explicitly agreeing to draw It isn't illegal my man
We did it against Uruguay and no one complains, only Chileans go snitch to the FIFA
Jace Powell
looks just like a Barcelona match desu looks normal to me
Ryder Rodriguez
Nothing is going to happen, why are you worried? Enjoy this shit dude, seriously. If Chile do something, it's going to be exclusively for the lulz, this fucking NT imploded with this elimination and some serious shit it's going to happen here.
Logan Taylor
>Matchfixing >Not illegal Are you retarded or just very ignorant? The reason you don't get punished is because you don't go around leaving evidence, not because it's ok. You guys are some sly motherfuckers when it comes to cheating and you should be commended for that. On the other hand you have Falcao going around the pitch like a retard offering a draw to the Peruvian players in explicit terms in front of the cameras.
Jayden Jenkins
never said i was worried wn
Wyatt Perry
You can't punish a team for not wanting to win
They did it for themselves, not to fuck you. It would be fixing if Brazil let you win or Ecuador let us win, because they don't favour themselves. Peru and Colombia did nothing wrong
Luke Turner
You are literally retarded, I'm out of this thread.
Jaxson Lopez
you mad because you were born in Colombia, "Africa in America". Hope you get hijacked soon, you starving monkey.
Dominic Bennett
lmao it's happening
John Brooks
First Argument is utter shitte. So what they gonna say nah man they played 91 mins tryharding but then decided to just fix the last 3? Im with you. Chile lost it. Falcao could have not used his hand to hide his mouth and everyone would be okay with it. But he is an absolute Tard. Let Chile cry anyways its funny./ At least funny until we get disqualified.
Landon Mitchell
7-0 7-0 7-0 7-0 7-0 7-0
Jordan Lopez
No, not for not wanting to win, but FIFA can surely punish them for agreeing a result. The problem is not who gets favored, it's the agreement itself that goes against the rules.
Being honest, I don't see the point in Chile going to the World Cup, but the way in which Colombia and Peru handled this was so poor that they shouldn't get off without some sort of punishment.
Besides, I want to see the shitshow that would cause.
Jack Parker
Yay now do us and paNamas phantom goal. NOW VAMOS PARA LA MUNDAIL COMPETENCIA DEL FUTBOL CHILE! GOLAZOOOOO
oh wait...
Jacob Young
>for agreeing a result They didn't say "we'll finish 1-1", that'd be fixing
They just didn't want to attack once they heard Chile was losing 2-0 and with a draw both teams were in but one of them losing would get out. It isn't illegal
Christopher Jackson
Colombia is fine.
Peru is in a tight spot. They've been lucky.
Benjamin Hernandez
"Hey, let's draw" it's still matchfixing, you dummy.
>They just didn't want to attack once they heard Chile was losing 2-0 That's true. But they went full retarded, made a deal to draw. That's what's wrong. You get why is different?
Thomas Cox
It has happened several times in history and FIFA doesn't give a fuck.
Jose Harris
>"Hey, let's draw" They didn't say that
They literally said, Chile already lost, if we draw we are both in and then stopped attacking
No fixing before the game, they just stopped attacking in the last 10 minutes. It's quite common and not against the rules
Hunter Miller
>They just didn't want to attack Purposedly not competing in a by definition competitive sport so the result would remain fixed as it was is a clear violation of the rules. Everyone does it, not going to argue that. The problem is that they recognized this in public. Their retardation is what fucks them.
Jacob Long
if Chileans wanted to qualify they could not complained with the FIFA to steal bolivia points and not be raped by Brazil, lmao.
Evan Hernandez
ya, ya, sí, claro. Un Super8 por favor.
James Murphy
All they said was "why risk attacking when we didn't need to win", that's not against the rules
Stop bitching, you lost your spot by getting REKT by Brazil 3-0, not for Peru and Colombia
James Morgan
>chile literally seething
Cooper Diaz
I want fifa to punish congos to witness the shitshow that will come later
James Torres
yeah, both teams will risk their qualification.
if we lose, we could still qualify but by repechage.
Peruvians were risking their only chance in 36 years.
Yeah, but no, fucking retard. The match wasn't rigged.
Hudson Reyes
That's the problem. They practically said they should draw when they should have kept their mouths shut like what you guys do with Uruguay or what Chile did in Spain in 2010. It the end, I think it was Falcao's fault.
Aiden Rodriguez
>The match wasn't rigged. they rigged it during it and before it was over, so you are pretty much fucked wilson
Parker Johnson
They did it during the game, not before. That's the difference
If they fixed the game they'd just go for a draw since the start and never attempt to win, they only did it in the last minutes because Chile was already out
Jason Lopez
They didn't rigged the game retard. They played to win during 90 minutes.
Jayden Taylor
Peruvian Tapia was the first one that said "lo manejamos como lo manejamos". Then Falcao, the absolute retard, confirmed it.
Isaac Wilson
The only thing I can think of to support this argument is the way in which the two teams played the last two minutes of supplementary time.
Peru moved the ball around without intentions of going forward and Colombia didn't really pressured Peru's players (those fuckers in the Colombian team never do that, they are a bunch of lazy fucks who hate running). But aside from that, the match went normally.
Thomas Brooks
What fifa penalizes is fixing THE RESULT OF A GAME, that can be done during the game as well, since it's not over yet and the result has not been reached.
Evan Ortiz
wena nido
Elijah Rivera
>literally can only find youtube videos about the supposed demanda >can't find 0 news reports about it >no official declaration >only youtube blogs and butthurt chilean journalists ????
give me an official statement.
Jordan Jackson
You guys know agreeing to a result during the game is still against the rules, right? It makes no difference because you still influenced the result. And I insist, everyone does it, but they are subtle. You wouldn't be in this problem if Falcao wasn't such a retard.
Juan Ward
It happened before in a world cup and a player said the same. It didn't happened nothing.
Ayden Hernandez
>fixing THE RESULT OF A GAME that only applies when you fix it a priori, stopping attacking when there are 10 minutes left is 100% legal
stop crying and win your games, don't blame other teams for your failure
Oliver Watson
Reminder that nobody noticed shit until the congo and pigeon journalists started hyping it looking for yous
Brandon Lopez
There's none yet. The Chilean federation said they won't push for it because they have bigger problems and are hoping FIFA will do it's own thing. Paraguay might push for it since they have nothing to lose really. Nothing is official yet.
Juan Thompson
m8, FIFA is corrupt as fuck.
they literally told ecuador to make a team with their sub 17 players.
I'm sure FIFA wants hames and falcao and cuadrado to play the WC.
Zachary Perez
You can not fix a result a posteriori retard, and that's what they did. They fixed it, they didn't even try to change it.
Nathan Barnes
they simply agreed to not attack in the last 3 minutes, fucking retard.
Caleb Campbell
You are legit retarded, right? Let's say two teams to into a match to win, half time, 1-1. Both are ok with that result and, coming back into the pitch, the captains agree to keep the draw an to not try to score. Is that matchfixing? Of course it fucking is, dummy. This is the same. I don't think Chile deserves going to the World Cup and we have only our team to blame. But you cannot go around doing this like Peru and Colombia did. C'mon, at least pretend you aren't breaking the rules.
