Greece are just as bad just not as naïve.
Infact,Greece are probably one of the worst teams to watch play football. They are an international Tony Pulis type team.
Ivory Coast have better individuals but from the minute they scored, Ivory Coast played the most naïve football I have seen in the World cup for a long time. Almost unprofessionally naïve.
Hope Costa Rica get rid of Greece they are terrible and the WC would be better to watch without them. Besides isn't it about time their fans went home, German and British tax payers didn't bail them out so they could go on a jolly in Brazil
You know things are fucked up when they are trying to claim he was 'only' going in for a head butt rather some Cheillini antipasto.
When he gets banned, queue the claims that it's all a Fifa conspiracy to stop them winning the league
3rd time in less than 4 years he has aggressively bitten somebody - I know it might not seem like much of a distinction but he's not even just had a cheeky nip to wind them up, tried to take a fucking chunk out of them every time. Yet again it's just such an innocuous build-up and seems like he goes utterly berserk at somebody blocking him off.
He is an utter headcase and if this happened in the UK again we would probably be talking prosecution right now. FIFA have no reasonable excuse for not banning him for several months, I still can't actually believe he has blatantly bitten players three times now. Even a 10-game club ban clearly had no impact on him at all, make it 6 months and then see if he learns his lesson.
Btw the reaction of the Uruguayan officials and media is worse than the Mousers

Every single one of your past colonies have outperformed you in this World Cup and you were the ones who were invented the game.
Thanks for the laughs.
Not true. My own dear Oireland didn't even qualify, and are currently at a level of shitness that make Ingerland look like Brazil 1970!
