Years after a scandal saw more than a dozen Salvadoran players banned for life, El Salvador's current national team spoke out against an offer made to players this weekend.
El Salvador players made public accusations Monday that they were approached by a businessman who offered to pay players for each moment they were leading, tied or even losing 1-0 in Tuesday's World Cup qualification match against Canada.
The game has serious implications for the Hex, the final round of World Cup qualification in the CONCACAF region. While El Salvador is eliminated, Canada must beat La Selecta by a large margin or Honduras will advance.
