The Most Disgusting Decision In Football History?
By Ollie Irish
The Confederation of African Football (CAF), in its infinite wisdom, has decided to ban Togo from participating in the next two African Cup of Nations.
Yes, you read that correctly. Read it again though, just to be sure.
CAF also fined Togo $50,000 for quitting the competition prematurely.
Yes, you read that right too.
I can not believe the crassness of CAF’s ruling. In case you needed reminding, Togo only quit the tournament because their team bus was attacked by gunmen, an ambush which killed two members of their group.
The cowards at FIFA have declined to comment on the ruling (at time of posting). Another disgraceful move by Sepp Blatter and co., as any sane person can see that this decision is not only plain wrong, but stupendously insensitive and offensive too. Indeed, I can’t recall a decision in football that shocked and appalled me as much as CAF’s brain freeze.
I have no doubt that the decision will be overturned – it has to be – but the fact it was made in the first place is shameful.

By a measure of some lightyears, this is the most cuntish behaviour by any governing body in football for quite some time.
Although it would seem not cuntish enough to dislodge John Terry from the headlines. Once again, Africa and African football is treated with complete indifference by the media.
its a fuckin disgrace!!!
WOW” it is amazingly and shit decision.how it could be? in one side they are foreigners to the host country at that time,on the other hand;in order to be successful in their performance they should be psychologically free so by my self I never accept this foolish decision. rather CAF has to rethink over the decision.IS it better to say Calf rather than CAF?
Actually, it makes some sense – although I felt the same way when I first heard about it.
The players wanted to play at the tournament, but their government pulled them, which means that sports and politics got mixed – something that UEFA, FIFA and CAF look at very harshly.
The punishment might hit the wrong people (Togo’s team and fans), but in principle it is extremely important that politics stay out of sports.
blatter is a fuckin clown, he needs to get involved in this but he wont coz hes too busy trying to fix the world cup
kimblim said it.. the togo team wanted to play and their govt pulled them out so CAF had a valid reason to ban them frm the cup.. altho common sense shld have prevailed in this instance and a little sympathy afforded to the togolese team in this extraordinary circumstance
Being banned from the African basket case of nations is not the worse thing in the world.

They should be removed but they will never be because the people in power need them their.
