Greece given suspension by Fifa
Fifa has suspended European champions Greece and its member clubs from international competition because of government interference in the sport.
World governing body Fifa said the Hellenic Football Federation had broken rules on "the independence of members and decision-making in each country".
It means Greek clubs and officials are banned from European competitions.
And it jeopardises Steve McClaren's first game as England boss, which was due to be against Greece on 16 August.
The suspension will be in place with "immediate effect" and "until further notice", according to a Fifa statement.

Liverpool may now gain entry to the first round proper which would be pretty sweet.

Ban lifted - that was pretty harsh considering all the tournaments they missed. |
