Disgraceful I would say.
What do you think should happen to the players that are facing charged?

they should be forced to clean the bathrooms in that giant McDonalds they built for the Olympics.
Shame on them for not only trying to throw a match, but being so obvioius about it.

Ugh, not cool. I understand why they were doing it, but that's definitely not the Olympic spirit. I'm not sure how they should be punished either, though.
Do you play with your food? Quirky Cookery

Disgraceful and stupid. Even though they got to play a worse team and still get to contend for a medal if they lost, their strategy was way too obvious.

It seems these days the Olympic spirit is something that has diminished. Deliberately losing is not the Spirit.
Josh Booth the Australian eights rower busted a few windows not because he was a delinquent but because he was angry the team lost. This also shows the loss of some of the Olympic ethic to play the game fair and square and shake the hand of the victor with a genuine feeling of congratulation.
I guess it takes a few scandals to get the country's selectors in future to choose better sports-people for future Olympics.
