when Blatter accused the Greek government of malfeasance with their football teams.
Isn't this a double standard?

@ Boonz: I think you are correct. If I am not mistaken, what you are saying it that people could care less about what Greece does.

Hmmm..... another Greek question.
It certainly is a double standard. Perhaps it is because the Greek misconduct did not make world headlines like the Italian scandals did so many people did not know about it.
The Italian scandals also took place in the lead up to the world cup and many of the players in the Italian side played for the clubs involved, thus giving the whole incident more press coverage.

I agree it is very unfair to those falsely accused and those who were not involved. The derision should be kept for those conclusively proven to have been at fault and no one else, irrespective of where one is from.

They're derided? Hmmm, I never knew that... No, I think Italy gets what it deserves.
