What does Ir al bombo mean?

1 published definition

Ir al bombo

In soccer slang, to throw a match or tank a game. It means to lose on purpose, usually due to bribery or external pressure (the bombo is the large bass drum used by Argentine fans, and the expression suggests being sacrificed or set up for a specific result).

There is no way we lost the championship. I think the players went Ir al bombo.
