Boy oh boy have this crowd of wankers been annoying me recently. It begun when they docked Cameroon six points for a “serious infringement of the Laws of the Game”. That’s 2 wins and meant that they had little to no chance of getting to the World Cup.
And why? Because the players wore a one-piece kit in the African Cup of Nations !
Jesus…what kind of fucking lame rule is that anyhow which would result in a team being punished in such a way that it would cost the country millions of revenue?
I can understand that the rule stands and that the team were warned not to continue to break it but 6 points?
And then, what really topped it is that they reversed the decision yesterday with the comment
“Something amazing”!!! I mean, they create the sitution and then pat themselves on the back when they ‘fix’ it !
Is it just me that doesn’t understand wtf is going on here?
I don’t know anything about this situation, but judging by his name, this Sepp Blatter is not a native speaker of English. Could he have meant “incredible” in the sense of “unbelievable”?
Cameroon have been warned several times about breaking FIFA’s rules, yet continue to do so in cooperation with Puma, their Kit manufacturer.
Instead of paying heed to FIFA’s warning, they continue with their publicity stunt, and get fined.
FIFA then relinquish the penalty completely, something which it is very rare for FIFA to do.
Granted, I don’t agree with the back patting, but don’t make out Cameroon are completely innocent in this.
They did the same in 2002 world cup.
and if they are worried about revenue for the Cameroon team, they might consider coming out with a jersey that people will actually buy and wear, rathwer than their rediculous one piece kit.
Cameroon were fairly warned by FIFA after they first ran out in the all-in-one kit at the African Nations.
The Cameroon FA assured FIFA that they wouldn’t use the non-regulation kit in the final stages of the competition and then completely went against that assurance by wearing it in the Quarters.
In my opinion the ban should have stood. Sorry, but you shouldn’t be able to fuck with Fifa regs - no matter what they are.
It’s not so much a “no one-piece” rule, rather it’s “no unapproved equipment allowed”. Their kit wasn’t approved by FIFA, they were warned not to wear it, they wore it any, and got punished.
While I personally don’t have a problem with Cameroon playing in that kit, they were warned and FIFA does have to have certain standards when it comes to uniforms. Cameroon is lucky they got the points back.
I’m inclined to agree about Blatter, he’s a sleazy bastard who should have been kicked out years ago.
He’s not so picky when its womens football kits though.
Anyone remember this?
