Was that match fixed? Conspiracies everywhere as Austria and Algeria both go through

View descriptionShare
 

Shades of the disgrace of Gijón (yeah we had to Google it too) when Austria played Algeria on the weekend. Both teams knew a draw would send them through, but Riyad Mahrez obviously forgot. It looked like he'd scored the winner in the 93rd minute and Austria were going out - but then they equalised.

Scenes, but was it all too convenient? With Ned Hall, ABC sports football commentator, we break down the big conspiracy and predict how Austria and Algeria will go against their respective opponents in Spain and Switzerland.

Plus, how will the Socceroos line up against Egypt on Friday? Salah might be out and the other Egyptian star Marmoush hasn't played much football this season. Do Australia stand a good chance? And the surprising package of this year's tournament, Cabo Verde, have done amazingly well to get out the group. Now they face the biggest test yet in the shape of Messi and Argentina. Do they have any chance at all? The Failed Football is an iHeart podcast. Find more on the free iHeart app.
