I don't think they should've personally. Greece were given 12 months to change their stance, they should've changed it then.

Although I'm glad we have a friendly before qualification.

FIFA are so weak!Even though i thought the penalty was harsh,it really should stick to its guns.But then look at Racism,what seriously has it done?

 

[Sureshot]

Erm set up a group called Kick Racism out of football.

It's a shame they can't actually kick the racists out of thei game, mass hypocrisy.

The latest news on the Italian scandal is that Juve and Fiorentina might be relegated to Seria B and AC Milan staying in Seria A.I think the final decision/conformation on this should arrive soon.

It will be interesting to see the big teams going in to the lower league, Chelsea will have a field day

Maybe not. If the teams do get relegated they will be forced to sell some of their big players (probably quite cheaply too) So the players will just end up at other big clubs strengthening those clubs lineups (unless Chelsea buy them all of course)

And what have they done...?That was my point(I.E.Already knew about group).

Supposeldy Juve to Seria B loosing 20 league point!YAY!And we won't see AC Milan next year in the Chanps League either.

I was being sarcastic Sachin

Relegating JUve and Milan won't do anything, corruption in Italian sport and politics has been happening since Mussolini. Relegating them only masks the problem, to solve it kick them out.

Where are you getting that from? It'll be a disgrace if Milan aren't relegated and the others are. Berlusconi's influence if you ask me...

And what about Lazio?? I'll be gutted if Fiorentina get demoted again. Although we were promoted up two leagues, which many thought was unfair on the smaller clubs.

Juve, Lazio and Fiorentina have all been relegated to Serie B. Juve will start with a 30 point deduction, Lazio a 7 point deduction and Fiorentina a 12 point deduction. Juve have also been stripped of their last two league titles and given a fine.

AC Milan on the other hand will be staying in the top flight.

I am happy that AC Milan stayed in the Serie A. Inter Milan will favour from this all since they will be named Champion for the past two seasons. Although it's not written in this article.

Palermo in the Champions League!

I am gutted. Despite making two good signings the past week, we now have to be content with Serie B. Although we can still launch an appeal against the ruling.
