Greece could be expelled from international soccer competitions because of widespread violence, a FIFA representative said today.
Herbert Huebel said a series of incidents, culminating with a gun-toting club owner running onto the field to protest a disallowed goal, are "unacceptable."
"Greek football is going to an edge," Huebel said, adding that a potential Greek suspension from international soccer "is not any more impossible."
"How can you bring children there when there are guns on the pitch? "The aim of the game is always to win, of course," he added. "But it can't be forced by arms, by threats or even by crime."
