Papachristou tossed because of twitter. Triple jumper for Greece. Sucks.

Is there a reason that the North Korea vs Columbia womens soccer game has been delayed?

She was tossed for a potentially/actually (depending on view) racist tweet and for political reasons relating to the left in Greece, not just for using twitter, to be clear.

The North Korean women’s football team has refused to take the field for its match against Colombia at the Olympics because of a dispute about its flag at the stadium.

Apparently the South Korean flag was displayed on screen beside the players names when introducing them.
New kick-off time is 21:00 gmt.

Lol at the flag error, only took one day for there to be a massive c**k up, first of many I suspect.

Anyone else uneasy about the fact there are 1000's of soldiers wondering around and missiles on top of residential flats? I dunno if I'm just being a libtard or not, but I just don't like it at all.

The Papachristou tweet seems a long way from ban-worthy, imo.

She tweeted, “With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitoes will be getting home food!!!”.

I read somewhere, but cannot confirm, that she is affiliated somehow with an allegedly neo-nazi political group in Greece, maybe, or something like that. I think that's the context.

Tweet is bad but like, honestly, it's not that bad and it's also not disparaging anyway.

EDIT: Here's the wiki on the group: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Dawn_(Greece)

Walk off the field for an hour just because the wrong flag is displayed? Seems like a forfeit to me.

Yeah I thought especially Honduras played some pretty neat and ambitious football, unfortunately they were punished on the counter quite a bit (from what I saw on and off).

Spain - Japan starting now. Should be good.
