Isn't this the game that caused them to play later round group matches at the same time?
Anyway, I wouldn't use this as an example of a fix. I'd say what they did was just common sense for knowing what they needed to know ahead of time.
A good example is the Argentina goal against Mexico. How can you miss that off sides? You can see it in live play it was so obvious. No one was between him and the GL. Fishy.
