Time to head over to RAWK and see if every Suarez thread is still locked since apparently that bite never affected LFC.

 

They are going nuts...

 

"Jesus fucking christ..."

 

"thats fucking bullshit"

 

"Unfair.  Totally unfair.  Poor luis."

 

"It'll be reduced on appeal. Has to be. LFC won't stand for it. Still shocking though."

 

:lol:

State of this man - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup-2014/world-cup-2014-ghana-squad-3764299

 

The President of Ghana Football Association has been accused of fixing future matches, with the government sending a plane to ensure the players continue

 

A plane carrying $3MILLION in cash has been sent to the Ghana World Cup team to prevent a player revolt.

 

According to a joint investigation by the Guardian and Channel 4 programme Dispatches, the president of the Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantaki had agreed to fix future international matches.

 

Police were subsequently asked to investigate, which led to calls of a revolt among Kwesi Appiah's squad, who have just one point from their World Cup matches to date.

 

According to Bloomberg, Deputy Sports Minister Joseph Yammin told Citi FM: "The players insisted that they will want physical cash.

 

"The government had to mobilise the money and a chartered flight to Brazil. The money is in excess of $3million."

 

Appiah, whose side face Portugal on Thursday needing a combination of results to qualify for the last 16, said the cash was on its way to the Brazilian capital by plane.

 

"There are some issues concerning money and the management and the government of the country are trying to sort it out and hopefully everything will be sorted out in 2-3 hours' time," he told reporters.

 

"FIFA pays all these fees after the competition," Appiah explained. "The government of the nation has to find money to pay and then get it back from FIFA. Once there is a delay then the problems come."

 

Midfielder Christian Atsu dismissed concerns the players would boycott the Portugal match if the money didn't arrive.

 

"This game is very important for our nation and we have to put everything behind us," the left winger said.

 

"It would be bad if we lost the game, people would think it because of the money. We have no option but to make our nation proud."

 

The president of Ghana John Dramani Mahama is said to have guaranteed the money will be paid before tomorrow's must-win clash with Portugal in Recife.

 

The GFA said: "President Mahama waded into the matter after agitation from the Black Stars players.

 

"He personally spoke to the players to assure them the money will be paid by Wednesday afternoon.

 

"We wish to assure the general public following President Mahama's intervention the Black Stars are in high spirits ahead of Thursday's match last Group G match against Portugal."

 

Despite the payment, the association denied the report and insist those mentioned never made any bribe to them or Nyantaki.

 

The Black Stars lost their opener to USA before a thrilling 2-2 draw with Germany on Saturday and now must beat Portugal tomorrow to have any chance of progressing.

Ligue 1 wages really must be pathetic. Honestly, no idea why players need paying to represent their country at the World Cup ffs

Its fucking ridiculous. Money hungry wankers

 

It generates millions of pounds of revenue though, shouldn't the players get their share?

 

Obviously I agree the Ghana cash bonus thing is mental.

Presumably Liverpool could transfer his registration during the ban, but he wouldn't be able to enter into a contract with the new club, so . . .

FIFA confirm Luis Suarez ban will not affect any possible transfer. #LFC #FCB

Those millions of pounds of revenue that the countries get should be put into some kind of infrastructure or plan for the future especially in African countries where this seems to be a big issue. You should feel privileged to play for your country

Why Ligue 1, only. :lol: I can only think of Ayew brothers and Mensah who play there.

 

Somehow every single country aside from the African ones manages to pay their players, though. Iran and Colombia are not amazing, first world and stable nations yet they don't have such problems. It is a give and take, tbh. Song would never dare elbow someone in the spine playing for Barcelona and Muntari/Boateng would never attack officials at their clubs, but their clubs would also never completely disregard their wages and well-being.

I doubt it. They'll inexplicably end up being a top seed and have to beat such mighty opponents as TNS, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Cliftonville.

Will Liverpool not be third or fourth seeds?
