Every team? At least three matches in 2015???

Good grief.  This story out of Canada, brought to us by the Twitter account of Christ Celestino from the website Securing the Game, from Vice Sports.

The Canadian Soccer League needs to be shut down.

It's that simple.  There is no other solution.

A report from the international match-fixing watchdog International Centre for Sports Security reported that the Canadian Soccer League, a semi-pro league headquartered in Toronto, had every team in the league involved in at least three suspicious matches in 2015 -- with the watchdog noting that two matches out of every five contested in the league were suspiciously bet.

How bad did this get?  Read the Vice article linked for the full situation, but here's the Cliff's Notes:

The Vice article chronicles closely an October 4, 2015 match between Niagara Falls and Sporting Club Waterloo.

A Niagara Falls player was immediately suspicious, as SC Waterloo was locked into the #4 playoff seed in the 12-team league, and his team was already eliminated from contention.

Noting that one could get 10-1 odds on a drawn match, a second player immediately noticed that Waterloo, with a superior lineup, was not going forward.

A Niagara goal was waved off, then Waterloo scored.  After this, the two players who have spoken up in public in this article both were sent off for continued dissent!  With nine opponents, you think Waterloo would make mincemeat out of this, right?

No.  They stopped attacking immediately, and were actually inviting Niagara Falls to score.

The game was soon tied, but it was now clear to everyone on the Niagara Falls bench that Waterloo was fixing the match, so they arranged for a late-half penalty to attempt to thwart an attempt at spot-fixing the halftime score to be tied.

Waterloo was allowed to score again, as a result, before the penalty could be consummated, and a third Niagara Falls player was sent off -- this one intentionally!

The Niagara free kick was intentionally let in, 2-2 at the half.

The second half, or what was played of it, was abject farce.  Waterloo wanted nothing to do with getting a ball in EITHER NET.  Niagara made several attempts to score an own goal just to screw the fix, but it was thwarted every time - the referee seeing enough at 65 minutes and calling the match.

The Niagara players demanded the referee put the indications of a fix into his report -- he did not.

SC Waterloo ended up hosting the finals, but lost.  Niagara Falls is leaving the league as a result of the situation.

It's basically clear, by what's being reported in this report that, not unlike a number of the Southeast Asian leagues, the Canadian Soccer League, up to it's very organization, has been infiltrated by match-fixers -- whether they are the Southeast Asians or not is unknown at this time.

However, it's clear why there is the frustration of nothing being done:  It's clear that even organizations like Interpol are being infiltrated by these organized crime outfits.
