Not only are four of the six largest clubs in the Serie A under the gun, the admins actually backed down on some of the original penalties. What bugs me more than anything else is that Euro soccer is worse at league parity than any other major world sport yet the "have's" still cheated. Jeez, I love sports, and competition, but is there one that doesn't cheat when money is on the line?

Eh we have all known this has been going on in Italy for years and years. It really is no surprise. Only surprise is that they actually decided to investigate it. Several Norwegian players have been down there and say that it was pretty much normal that someone would come up to you and say "Hey this is good, no reason to score more".

Yeah, every game during the World Cup this year was full of commentary about the situation if Italy was playing or any players from the four teams were playing. It's Italy. It's normal. :P
