came across this article in Soccernet. now we are even involved in faking soccer matches using fake international teams....
"Sheik Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, vice president of the Bahrain football federation, has insisted the match was legitimate and that the confusion has been created by a conflict between the Togo sports ministry and the interim Togo football federation. Al Khalifa did concede that the Togo team, which was not expected to feature the country's Europe-based star, was still suspiciously weak.
Further complicating matters was Al Khalifa's admission that the BFF was launching an investigation into the company that arranged the match, a FIFA-approved organisation based in Singapore. Other reports claim a fake agent sold the match to Bahrain."
