Abbott - I must have missed that, do you have a replay of it?
Reporter - Fortunately, we do.
Abott - Well..this part upsets me, my defence were all over the place.... Wait a minute....That's a blatant handball! He pushed the ball away from my defender with his hand! Ref, you were stood less than 5 feet from it! Oh, that is a disgrace. An utter disgrace.

Jeffrey Webb Steps Down As CONCACAF President

After the recent allegations of Match fixing cheating, Jeffrey Webb has today stepped down as president of CONCACAF.

Webb - I whole heartedly apologise to the USA national team for everything they have been put through. They worked hard to get to the final i wrongly cheated them out of an opportunity to win it. I shall admit now, i bribed the Referee (Jose Martinez) to be unfair towards the US. Today, me and Martinez will tender our resignation with immediate effect.


Blatter - I am disgraced and disgusted at what has happened over the past few days. I can assure all of you, that it will never happen again.

Hughes - As a good friend of Daniel's, i was shocked when i found out what happened. He is a good manager, and he doesn't deserve this. He did a great job at the Brighton team i am now with, and an even better one with the USA. In my opinion that match should be replayed.

Holloway - Well it's ludicrous isn't it? What's football coming to now-a-days? That match should be replayed in America with a neutral ref. Not being funny, but Vela shouldn't be allowed to play either.

Abbott - To be honest, i'm just glad that we go justice for what has gone on. We'll pick ourselves up, dust us off and prepare for the World Cup next year. That's if we don't get cheated out of that.
