German newspaper accuses Cameroon of world cup match rigging

A German newspaper has thrown a stone into a pond of crocodiles by throwing accusations of world cup match fixing at the Cameroonian side.

In its online sports edition on Friday, the Der Spiegel said the second match of Group "A", which kicked off on June 18 against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon and Croatia at the Amazonia Arena in Manaus was rigged.


That is to say "sold" with the complicity of Cameroonians.


In support of this allegation, the German journalist Rafael Buschmann, quotes famous king of football bets Wilson Raj Perumal, born in Singapore.


A few hours before the game, Perumal had delivered the surprising details of the meeting to the German newspaper: A Croatian victory (0-4) and the deportation of a Cameroonian player in the first half (Alexandre Song in the 40th minute).


The sports pundit went even further to say there were seven bad apples in the team.

The bettor Tamil, who was charged in connection with a double attempt of spectacular corruption of Liverpool goalkeepers Ian Bennett and Chelsea, Dmitri Kharine, actually thinks the African team has probably sold all its matches of the group.


Der Spiegel nevertheless admits that there is no concrete evidence to these allegations.


There were serious suspicions about many group matches that led FIFA to organize a press conference to explain. And to quote the security director of FIFA, Ralf Mutschke saying: "So far we have no evidence of a rigged game."


The meeting between the Cameroon team and the Croatian selection, whose score strangely matched the forecasts of Perumal, was conducted by the referee Pedro Proenca Portuguese.


He has to his credit a UEFA Cup, matches of the Champions League and the Confederations Cup.
