Again, not saying this happened at all but I am fairly confident even Roberto Carlos can execute a plan based on the instruction "now, Roberto, when you feel the warm ball, don't pick it up".Yeah I think the whirling is just for the cameras.
Would be more dodgy if they had rain man up there picking the teams out but most ex footballers don't strike me as being capable of following a complicated system.
And if it were fixed then everyone in football would be aware of it. Like Henry wouldn't tell anyone at Arsenal or even sky sports , R.Carlos to Madrid etc??
Or at least my anonymous spherical thermodynamics engineer source assures me it is possible.
And, as far as the "wouldn't it get out" argument, maybe. But there is quite a lot to lose by each player by outing any such fix, as well.
Then again, UEFA is not known for doing anything questionable or suspect and then being found out later.
