Greek Government Trying to Clean Up the Game

As someone who knows nothing about Greek football this was an interesting read:

Greece tackles political football

Government insists it will clean up the game but critics say it’s scared of powerful owners and fan groups.

Good to see but I thought any government involvement led to a ban for the National side

Think it depends on the involvement.

Greek fans are mental, I know a PAOK fan and some of the stories he tells me about over there are wild. If they ain’t fighting rival fans they are fighting police.

The first thing that the Greek government should do is tell all clubs that it's acceptable to actually try to score goals. Has to be one of the most negative and boring leagues in europe.

They won the most boring Euros ever with a run of 1-0 wins.

Yup. Don't get me wrong there's a time and a place for backs to the wall, scraping out 1-0 and 0-0 scorelines. But when most of the teams in the league have similar resources and still approach games with the same attitude, well they need to have a look at their methods..

But they won it. I would take the League with 3 dozen boring 1-0 wins right now.

I think its different if it's for the benefit of the game. Rid it of corruption.

If only our government wasnt so entwined in the paedo bowl we could rid ourselves of some people.
