Greece players turn down World Cup bonus, ask PM to build new training centre instead Sunday, June 29th, 2014
You might not like their style of play, but this would appear to be another reason to like Greece ahead of their World Cup last 16 clash against Costa Rica.
This World Cup has been dogged with bonus rows. First with Cameroon, even before they set off to Brazil.
And, most famously last week with Ghana where 3 million dollars had to be shipped out to Brazil ahead of their final game against Portugal.
Now, the Greece team have written to their prime minister Antonis Samaras and told him they are not interested in their World Cup bonus but simply want the money to be put towards a sports centre for the national team.
The Greek press report that the squad in Brazil wrote a short letter saying: “We do not want as extra bonus, or money. We only play for Greece and its people. All we want is for you to support our effort to find a land and create a sports centre that will house our National team.”
This letter was written on Sunday June 29, 2014 and signed by all 23 squad members, it came as a result of Greece reaching the second round of the World Cup for the first time in their history.
Presumably, the Greek squad realise they are all well-paid individuals and are concerned for the future of Greece in international football.
Why the hell is the government paying them in the first place? I thought they were privately sponsored. Not to mention Greece was bankrupt last time I heard.
>>> The association pays them around 20% of the prize money. I think it is around $10 million. This is standard for all national teams.
>>>They are sponsored, and the Association also gets money from FIFA. The Association is who must pay the prizes, but some governments offer some more. In some cases it can be a money better spent than tourism advertising, others a complete waste. I am not sure if it is standard at all.
Sports are a legal theft of the people conducted by the global mafia, Fifa, gambling joints and sporting clubs, or in other words, from the same one who are offering this most important unimportant thing in the world. Every match is done in advance whether you are talking about tenis, football, waterpolo, handball etc... The most important indicator that this is fixed and even goes for world cup football is exiting by Spaniards, the team that appeared second league at best. Then defeats of Uruguay and Italy, once world champions from complete outsider such as Costa Rica and the even score between Brazil and mexico. The most fixed game in history was when Greece became the European champion. Regarding match fixes there were proofs in the strongest leagues of five, where some teams were send to second league, where certain journalists reported this rather then Fifa even though it is Fifa's responsibility. When the case was overtaken by police and everything was proven then Fifa (cause of public view) had to react superficially by imposing a fine of sending the clubs to the second league (for one season) where they continued in the same manner. Clubs where it was proven that matches were fixed took responsibility upon them making up stories such as that they were allowing certain clubs to survive in the leaque etc, since there is a omerta type thing happening here (code of silence) and the real truth that the sports is a criminal enterprise can not come to media surface. I apologize if I was boring to some, but I have decided to share my findings with the public and I will be posting this for as slong as world cup is on in Brazil. I tried posting this on Fifa site but they were deleting this within 5 secs.
