It doesn't seem like it would be worth it to the players/teams/countries involved to fix the games. With football being so popular outside of the states, the pride of the entire country is online when these teams compete for the World Cup. Also, could they even really trust the people dispursing the money? And besides, it would be very hard to prove either way. Logically, it just doesn't seem to make any sense for the players to make such a deal with bookies. But I suppose anything can happen, and this being the World Cup, I'm sure they could make themselves a half-way decent profit. But the negatives of doing it seem to outweigh the positives of doing their best, this is too important to lose like this.
