I saw a full page add in the paper today from Puma appealling to
people to sign a petition to help Cameroon's World cup Qualifying hopes..
For those who done know the story.........
It is all about Cameroon wearing a 1 piece kit for the African Nations cup
After Cameroon used the one-piece kit for the start of the Nations Cup competition Fifa ordered them to have a different outfit for the quarter-finals.
But when they ran out in the same gear for their last-eight tie with Nigeria Fifa warned them they would face sanctions.
The Fifa statement added: "Fifa had shown leniency at the time for Cameroon's attire in the group round of the competition after the association had given assurances that the team would wear authorised playing kit in the knock-out phases.
Consequently they have a 6 point deduction before they even start
qualifying and an £86,000 fine on top.
I did feel kinda sorry for them but they were told they could wear the
one-piece for the group stages then had to change for the knock-out
phases.
BUT :shock:
Then I read Puma's add in the paper
The Cameroon national football team has recently had 6 points deducted
from its 2006 qualifyication campaign as a consequence of wearing a one-
piece playing kit. To support the 2006 Cameroon cause,to show your
contempt for the recent ruling of Footballs governing body and to send
a clear signal that football is nothing but a game. Please sign up and add
to the voice so PUMA can attempt to overturn the ruling.
FOOTBALL IS NOTHING BUT A GAME :x
That sealed thier guilt for me punish em they deserve it..........
Any one elses views on this :?
