There are rules which allow the appropriate authority to punish teams which do not play to their fullest ability (obviously these have not applied in the World Cup Finals situations which have happened in the past). The 'big' clubs do put out reserve squads in Cup competitions against lesser opposition. I'm sure they don't intend to lose the matches, but they have been handed a few bloody noses over the years...

If there have been occasions where teams have deliberately lost, they haven't been as overt tactically as the tanking methods employed by T11 managers...
