    A Uefa corruption twitter account seems to have somehow predicted todays "Live" championsleague draw 24 hours ago!

    CL Draw Manipulation (uefacorruption) on Twitter

    "Corruption that is led by people from behind the scenes. For economical reasons that are harming the sport."

    "Through our twitter account we are going to reveal a portion of UEFA's corruption and manipulation."

    Tweeted all of the possible draws then deleted the wrong ones.

    Not sure how Twitter works. Wouldn't they just have tweeted every possible tie, then deleted the ones that didn't happen leaving the correct predictions. New account, no one was following them, no one noticed, then when all the wrong predictions are deleted it looks like they were right, those behind it start retweeting the predictions to their mates on their personal accounts, they retweet and it all kicks off.

    Can you do that?

    For someone who doesn't know how Twitter works you just nailed exactly how they did it. Bravo

    I've got a Twitter account, so I know how the basics work, but I don't tweet much. I just didn't know if you deleted a tweet whether it was just deleted from your own timeline or if it completely vanished from Twitter like it never existed. If it's the latter, then that's what they did. If it's the former, that's still what they did, but someone should be able to find evidence for it.

    I'd love for that not to be the case though!
