THIS MIGHT energise Italy.
I’ve got a horrible feeling that Trap will benefit from this ban.
TOTTI spat several times at Denmark’s Christian Poulsen and should have been banned from Euro 2004 and for six games after that.
Spanish referee Mejuta Gonzalez did not see Totti’s spitting.
And the ref failed to send Totti off for a high, late crunch into the knee of Rene Henriksen.
Spitting in the faces of players has no place in football, at any level.
Spitters should be fined 50,000 Euros per spit.
A disgusting, despicable act.
Being a great footballer does NOT give you the right to behave in a vile, insulting,unsporting and unhygenic manner.
The Roma captain, 27, will miss Italy’s next two Group C qualifiers against Sweden and Bulgaria, plus the quarter-finals if they qualify.
LET’S HOPE TOTTI DOESN’T COME BACK AND SCORE THE WINNER ON JULY 4th!
