apparently the fixed match in question was Liverpool v Debrecen, and the keeper was bribed to concede more than 2.5 goals. Naturally, Liverpool romped to a resounding 1-0 victory.

A Champions League tie played in England is one of 380 matches across Europe investigators say was fixed.

European police did not reveal the identity of the match they believe was corrupt in England.

But Europol did say that they had uncovered an organised crime syndicate based in Asia that was co-ordinating the operation.

Some 425 match officials, club officials, players and criminals are suspected of being involved.

Europol, which has been investigating for 18 months, said suspected matches included World Cup and European Championship qualifiers, two Champions League ties and "several top football matches in European leagues".

Criminals wagered 16m euros on rigged matches and made eight million Euros in profits, Europol say.

Payments of two million Euros are thought to have been paid to those involved. The biggest payment to an individual was 140,000 Euros, according to investigators. Europol believes a crime syndicate based in Asia was liaising with criminal networks throughout Europe. It believes match-fixing has taken place in 15 countries and 50 people have so far been arrested.

Officials said they feared this was the "tip of the iceberg".

Rob Wainwright, director of Europol, said: " This is the work of a suspected organised crime syndicate based in Asia and operated with criminal networks around Europe.

"It is clear to us this is the biggest-ever investigation into suspected match-fixing in Europe. It has yielded major results which we think have uncovered a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe.

"We have uncovered an extensive criminal network."

Europol gave the details on Monday at a news conference in The Hague, Netherlands.

As much as I'd like to think Chelseas whole CL campaign last year was built on the back of match fixing and that they'd be stripped of the trophy in a formal ceremony and kicked out of Europe forever.......it's probably a really boring, really shitty end-of-group-stage game where everything was already decided, and one of these Eurotrash teams was convinced to let 6 goals in instead of the usual 5..

These games include World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two UEFA Champions League games, one of which was in England according to UEFA.
