IT'D COST MORE THAN THAT TO FIX WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT:

Report: Soccer Referee Was Paid $65,000 to Fix Games (January 29, 2005, LA Times)

Germany's biggest soccer scandal in more than 30 years deepened Friday when four people were arrested and a newspaper reported that a referee told prosecutors he was paid more than $65,000 to fix games.

The referee, Robert Hoyzer, admitted getting money for rigging three games and also implicated players and other refs, the newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung said.
