Austria and Algeria's dramatic 3-3 World Cup draw sparked online claims the match was fixed to send both teams into the knockout stage at Iran's expense. Conspiracy theories, misleading videos and fake FIFA notices have fuelled the speculation, with some dubbing it the "Disgrace of Kansas City" in a nod to the infamous 1982 "Disgrace of Gijón". But is there any evidence the game was engineered?
The speculation centres on last week's thrilling 3-3 draw between Austria and Algeria, a result that sent both teams into the knockout stage while eliminating Iran. With Argentina already assured of top spot in Group J, a draw was the only outcome that would see both Austria and Algeria progress.
