Reviews

"Declan has written a well-researched book of investigative journalistic brilliance. A book that deals with the unseen and often shadowy world of soccer's match-fixing. . . . A world the authorities try to ignore; the effects of its existence swept under the carpet in the name of preserving the game's image."
-Shaka Hislop, ESPN soccer commentator and former English Premier League and World Cup goalkeeper

""Declan Hill literally takes his life into his own hands.... [He] presents convincing evidence that even games in the 2006 World Cup in Germany were fixed.... Read this book and you'll second guess every referee's dodgy call."
