Head Honcho Posted 3 July 2006 Posted 3 July 2006 Neither club teams nor the Greek national squad are allowed to participate in this year's competitions (until further notice): BBC Sports Link Scare tactics by FIFA. I'll put my house on Greece not missing one game!

I agree with you on Italy mind, bloomin bridists!
nhfox Posted 4 July 2006 Posted 4 July 2006 Scare tactics by FIFA. I'll put my house on Greece not missing one game! FIFA recently suspended Kenya which lasted a couple of months -- they lifted it after Kenya formed some new committee which would prevent government intervention in footballing affairs. I suspect Greece would have to do something similar before their suspension is lifted. They better hurry because UEFA Cup and Champions League qualifying is coming soon for the Greek clubs.
Thracian Posted 4 July 2006 Posted 4 July 2006 I remember how they treated those plane spotters. I would never take a holiday there and I shall delight in every month/year/decade that they remain suspended.
Phube Posted 4 July 2006 Posted 4 July 2006 How do they bully England? I agree with you on Italy mind, bloomin bridists! I absolutley HATE bridary... it's evil!! ( ) Sebb Blatter is always giving little digs at England!! (And as he's the one with power in footy, that makes him a bully!).

They've done it to a few countries in the past but can't ever remember any ever missing a game-I stand to be corrected!
Ultra Posted 6 July 2006 Posted 6 July 2006 What about the bloomin' Italy scandal!!! It's just shocking how they bully the smaller countries (and England) but Italy and Spain get away with racism, bribery and corruption!!! Indeed. Silvio Berlusconi had cronies in charge of the Italian FA throughout his time in office, who covered up no end of scandals, including hooliganism, match-fixing and drugs. Did Septic Bladder say a word about that? Did he fcuk! Many if not most of the national associations are subject to government interference of one form or another. Why is Greece being singled out for action from FIFA? Seems like politics is rearing its ugly head again..
macbeth Posted 8 July 2006 Posted 8 July 2006 Sepp Blatter can kiss my fat arse. sapp bloater can kiss mine too lets have an arse kissin love-in
Ultra Posted 12 July 2006 Posted 12 July 2006 The ban's now been lifted (see here). Looks like their game with England will go ahead after all.
