The Deputy Minister of Sports in Greece is probably totally ignorant about his portfolio like nearly every Minister. The peculiar thing is that although he has studied Law he doesn't speak English; not even at the level of the current Prime Minister. The second peculiar thing is that he speaks Romanian. A language spoken by people who have studied there as it was easy to get an admission to study. However his CV states that he graduated from the Law School of Athens. So probably he failed the entrance examinations for the Greek University, he went to Communistic Romania, studied one or two years and than he was transferred to the Greek University. He studied at the time of the Union Five; people who were in the Students Union could pass the exams with a 50%.
Football is the way, FIFA wants it to be. The referee has to understand what each player is doing even if he cannot see it directly and decide if it was done on purpose or not. There is corruption, there is subjectivity and mistakes happen. Fans always try to affect the judgement of the referee by complaining and that is what they like to hear, that their team is wronged.
It is totally weird to accuse a team that it controls the Football Federation and use exactly the same person that that team is supposed to have used to take over the Federation twenty years ago for the so called purification of the Greek Football. They named this Apparatus 'The Shack' after him. His name is Thomas and therefore the Apparatus' name is traced to the 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.
Now the Prime Minister and the Deputy Minister are boasting that they are purifying the Greek Football. However football is far more simple than Economy.
