now what you have written here is actually a cause for concern- 1st of all why the fcuk FC Vestsjælland signed new player who are sh1t... i think it's really unfair for the agents not to write on the heads of players that are for sale "sh1tty player"; secondly- if sh1tty players are coming up against a great teams that plans to be promoted this season and there are great odds on offer... maybe the match is rigged?

The match is not rigged. It's danish 1. Division and there are no history of rigged football matches in Denmark on higher level. The salaries are quite high, even in 1. Div. so no need too.
FC Vestsjælland is much better at home than away, therefor is the odds not lower on Vendsyssel. Nonetheless they should still be bigger favorites than the bookies has made dem.
a lot of betting expert would disagree and say I'm crazy on this one but I believe that in this tight game both teams will score and it's very good odds...

The Italian Serie A has no underpayed players either but fixed games are/were constant there. It's not really an economic issue rather than just how many crooked guys are around the teams. A lot. In every country.

I agree at some level. But Italy has in many years had a lot of curruption. Mafia and a lot of gangs. In Denmark there really isn't any of that. Just take a look at Berlusconi.
But yes, it only takes a couple of guys from one team to fix a match, but Vendsyssel a team with several former Superleague players and on their way to Superleague for the first time in their history, would never do that.
The only known fixing in Denmark has been players who has bet on their own team to win. Which is still illegal here.. in the lower league. 2. Division and lower, there probably has been some fixing, one way or another
------------ The match ended 0-0. Is was a boring game. Vendsyssel did have plenty of chances to score, but they were not effective enough on their chances. Should have been 0-1 0-2, but no luck. Odds was definitely set wrong since Vendsyssel would win this more than 40 % of the time.

I cannot believe that people will say that football matches are rigged! Surely the passion of the player, playing for a team for whom he or she has the utmost passion and respect and affiliation to their loyal and devoted fans who go without food for weeks simply to buy a match ticket to support paying the ludicrous wages that footballers get ...............

well bowie stole my words here... i couldn't sleep all night thinking about denmark second league football players being so honest, crystal clear and professional that only image of juventus being stripped a few titles and kicked into second league was some sort of relief...

tbh if I had a choice I'd punish italian soccer teams for making their games unwatchable with their style of defending rather then for fixing them...
