UEFA Warns Greece Over Bad Conduct

"A delegação grega recebeu hoje um aviso da UEFA, em virtude da má conduta desportiva da selecção, que teve cinco futebolistas admoestados com cartões amarelos no jogo frente à Espanha.

Esta decisão apoia-se no artigo 16 dos regulamentos disciplinares da União Europeia de Futebol, no qual é patente: "Medidas disciplinares podem ser tomadas contra associações ou clubes casos as equipas tenham condutas impróprias, mesmo que o árbitro tenha aplicado individuais sanções disciplinares."

Deste modo, a advertência da UEFA pretende chamar a atenção da selecção helénica para as condutas anti-desportivas cometidas pelos seus jogadores, que violam o espírito do jogo, que a organização máxima do futebol europeu pretende ver honrado."

Basically just says that UEFA has warned Greece's National Team over the conduct made during the Greece-Spain encounter, where 5 Greeks were booked.

Hmmm, sounds about right. But that's not kinda...in the rules. I mean, if a player gets 2 yellows in different matches he's suspended for 1. Unless he gets a red and then a commitee decides to suspend him for more matches.

There's been situations where they have banned players without them having gotten a red card, happened in the CL this season to someone.

I know, but not for normal incidents like tackling or something like that. Mostly for aggressions that the refs. didnt see, verbal abuse, or spitting (Totti anyone?(H) ).

sounds a bit harsh to me.......i didn't think the Greek team were over aggresive at all ,just competitive.Looking at some of the decisions in some of the games so far it looks like UEFA want to turn football into a non-contact sport......bloody pathetic some of them.And it doesn't help when some players roll around like they have been shot either,getting players booked.Uefa should take that into account too.You just cannot call Greece a violent team at all......but you cant have uefa's words in your head when you are playing competitive football otherwise it would limit your performance too.

agree with pede
they make a lot of fauls thats why they got so many yellow cards but that's the way greece plays...
they should really be focusing more on some players actitudes (frei vs gerrard) than warning a team thats just playing each match as it was a final

I didnt saw anything specially ugly from Greece, just many fouls, and losing many time, but thats usual in football :(

Maybe they mean in the 40 minutes spain was winning only 1 player fro Greece needed medical assitant, and with the match tied 4 or 5 Greek players needed medical help :(

agreed, it's the ref's job to discipline on the field, he can hand out red cards if the conduct gets out of hand. UEFA doesn't need to get in on this..

huh?!?.......aggressive play?....sorry didn't mean to play tough....I don't think the Greeks have played any rougher than any other team...

Bulgaria had 7 yellows against Denmark and a player was sent off. In total, bulgaria have 11 yellows. Greece only has 7 yellows in total. So why is Greece being warned and not bulgaria?

(Unless bulgaria has been warned and I'm just unaware of it)
