Former FIFA president says World Cups were fixed
Joao Havelange, president of FIFA from 1974-1998 claims the 1966 and 1974 World Cups were fixed and
produced the exact results his predecessor to the job, England's Sir Stanley Rous, wanted.
Havelange, who is Brazilian, claims that during both finals, the referees made decisions that
allowed European nations to advance and help the host country win the cup (1966 England, 1974 West
Germany).
