If he’s guilty, he can kiss his career goodbye. To give you an idea of the length of the ban Paqueta might face, the footballer linked below was banned for 10 years for a single case of spot-fixing. Paqueta has been charged with four cases of spot-fixing.

Opinions Vary

Now it all makes sense with the way he plays.

Team Impact

Oh wow. This is basically like match-fixing. The PL’s betting partners are not going to let the PL just give him a slap on the wrist. He’s messing with their bottom line.

Welp, there’s Lopetegui’s summer budget down the drain.

Should have just kept going and done it 115 times.

How do you fumble the bag this much?!
