Is the juventus scandal true or false??

All true so far, and they've only scratched the surface, MUCH more to come out before the end of this investigation.\n\nLike everything involving big money, someone will always find a way to corrupt, especially in Italy, home of the Mafia and corrupt government since before the end of tha Roman Empire!!

think has to do with game-fixing. celeb tv/sport telecaster in italy charged w/ choosing which match to broadcast, based on fixed fixtures. team managers, players may also b involved in football betting scandal

Del Piero used to be better than Sheva. But after suffering many injuries in last couple years, he looks like losing his talents. In his young era, he was so amazing, even he kicked Baggio off Juventus.\n\nNow, whether we agree or not, we must Sheve agree that Sheva is better than Del Piero. Without Shevchenko (did I spell his name correctly?) Milan will have huge problem with their offense. But Juve can still play well without Del Piero. In fact, he is only substitute in Juve.

The current Italian Football scandal is another form of deterrent to all those guys, like many of you out there, who are making predictions and trying to look cool in the eyes of your mates.\nTo me the current situation reminds me very much of the turmoil Italy had prior to their winning campaign back in '82. At the time the paparazzi were going berserk and the media in general was getting down Bearzot's throt in his choice of players, even the unknown Paolo Rossi had no chance to get a place in the starting line-up.\nAll of that created the winning feeling & will to survive the experience providing the Italian squad with extra inner strength, which is synonym of the Italian fighting spirit. The rest is History with them winning the 3rd world cup.\n2006 seems to have the same unsettling atmosphere, which if carefully analysed can only be translated into a highly positive charging energy.\nSurely the favourites, such as Brazil and Czech Republic, will have a very good run for our money, but to win the world cup you need more then a great team full of outstanding players, you need co-hesion and fighting spirit that will make you want to "fight like a lion and sting like a bee".\nItaly has 23 great players, like any of the 32 final nations, but something else will differentiate them from the others and that would be: Passion for the game and anger for what is happening back home.\nDon't be surprised if Italy will come out of 2006 experience in a very happy mode.

If you are referring to the US-Italy game, then you ain't seen nothing of faking.\nWatch Didier Drogba, a Chelsea player play. He sucks!!! As a matter of fact, Chelsea is a club in the English Premier League! They won the League title last 2 seasons!!!

Australia were robbed by a very dubious referees` desicion !\nand (surprise surprise) the Itais`couldnt manage to win fair so as normal resorted to diving in dangerous areas!\nTotti should have been banned from football a while ago after his bribery allegations!

I think Juve will be more stronger next year and the will win 3 cups(Serie A , Copa Italia and Champions League),\nBut they should buy good players (specialy someone for right defender).

i heard diarra from olympique lyon. they are also waiting for the fate of juventus to see if they eill be relegated to 2nd division, in which case, they will pounce on some players such as cannavaro, vieira, emerson, ibrahimovic. some local talent would be welcome as well. the problem is that presidential elections are on july 2, and by that time, it may be too late to get any decent players

Depends who's playing... For the Italians its a drama with all that diving and fake injuries... But others do take it seriously as a sport... It's just unfortunate that those drama queens are the ones the up and coming soccer (or other sports) players have as role models.

Haha it isn't real. Nike has already revealed that the video was edited and tweaked, but the whole point of releasing it wasn't to fool people but to generate interest in their football apparel. \n\nSo yea, Ronaldinho didn't actually succeed in volleying against the pole and chesting the ball down so many times successfully.

where are all the JUVE fans?? in italy and they don't speak english so well, so they usually are not yahoo-answers members and cannot answer this question in a positive way, supporting their club... \n\nso to all the barca, bayern, milan, and english soccer fans:\n\nFORZA JUVE!!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen that.  I would only say the Brazilians haven't been going all out from the matches I've seen.  I would be surprised if anyone's taking money right now, at a time where there is such a big scandal in Italy over match fixing.

Some football factions have an interest in allowing the results of matches to be influenced.\n\nWho's to say some games aren't bought?\n\nWe certainly know that Italian teams in the Sere A can't be trusted 100%.\n\nUntil Fifa actually THINK about what these "footballers" and their antics (diving, checking, looking for free kicks) are doing for the greater good of the game, we'll all just have to accept that teams who exploit the referee the best will ALWAYS win...\n\nAustralia went out there and played fairly, like MEN, and were robbed by a soft decision. If Italy had of earned that match all would be well, but seeing as they could only "win" by fowl means they have lost my respect permanently.

Yes, it was unfair and it was cheating.  But no team, be it a club team or a national team, can claim the moral high ground when it comes to 'gamesmanship' or cheating.  Not all incidents of cheating are as high profile as the Italy one, but there are plenty I could name that have cost football teams/clubs dearly.\nThe onus should be on FIFA to bring in video refereeing technology to eliminate the possibility of teams being screwed over like this.  In an ideal world you would like the players to have some sense of morals and responsibility, and some do, but the gamesmanship will continue as long as people can get away with it.  It's a real shame for the team that get's screwed though (until they screw some other poor team themselves of course!).
