The Football Fever Podcast
The Football Fever Podcast team returns this week to talk Liverpool, Manchester United, Asian football and the thorny issue of match-fixing in football.
Corruption in Southeast Asian football is a bigger problem than it was a few years ago, according to Singapore international striker Alex Duric.
Duric, who's scored 25 goals in 47 internationals since 2007, says that on-line betting and the offer of larger amounts of illegal money provide a greater temptation to modern players, despite the best efforts of administrators.
