    Sadly to say, but yesterday saw something strange and come to conclusion that results are pre-determined.
    I watched one match of my friend, and shortly after the HT, when score was 0-5, I went to his profile to see how was in the League. I was suprised to see that the ranking was updated with the match in progress. I went back to Live, curious to see if it remain the same score, but no, till the end, my friend scored another 2 goals. After all round over, the rank was unchanged from the ~57th minute of live match.

    But guys .. does it really matter? All in all, even if the games were predetermined, what would it change? It's 3 minutes of our life, or 7.5e-8% of our lives. We'd still have to watch the match, for one reason or another.

    Kevin Mensah injured in a match and I put Savage on in play and he scored, so that theory goes out the window.

    Not really matter, but no more panic to change tactics/players live, as the result was determined before start. Now is more important to give importance to tactics/quality when prepare the game... Once that came the 2 minutes before game it is nothing more to do, than open the beer and "watch" the game, and maybe make 1 sub to receive the blue pack.

    In this pic Savage scored, but not he replaced Adams and not injuried Mensah? :P

    Hmmm... I find that very strange because when I was playing I swapped Mensah straight for Savage and then Vasko for Adams.

    Hmmmm.... well many times I start to think all sports are pre-determined.... TOO much money in sports...
    We get a few scandals from year to year and people think.... Oh... that sucks... good thing it doesn't happen
    all the time....

    Vegas largely controls sports in the US.... and much of the rest of the world is more accepting of sports betting...
    you do the math!
