Greece Face Home Ban

Following on from violence in a Euro 2008 qualifying game at home against Turkey they've been forced by UEFA to play their next two home qulifiers outside of Athens. They've also been handed a fine of 100,000 Swiss Francs - about £40,000.

"Greece must stage its June 2 and 6 qualifiers against Hungary and Moldova at least 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Greek capital," the federation said, quoting a UEFA statement.

With Greece just one point behind Turkey in Group C, their games against Hungary and Moldova will prove that little bit harder.
