The Greece 2014 World Cup squad have practically surprised the world after they politely turned down a bonus from their Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, for reaching the knockout phase for the first time in the famous tournament’s history.

Instead, these guys requested that the cash be used to build a brand-spanking new training centre for the national side so that they can continue to provide better results for their country.
A very brief letter signed by all the 23 players, according to NewsBomb.gr, read:
"We do not want extra bonus, or money. We only play for Greece and its people. All we want is for you to support our effort to find a land and create a sports center that will house our national team ".
Compare and contrast this to all the teams threatening not to represent their countries well over bonus rows.

That’s great on the part of Greek players.
….that’s what you call patriotism
….that most of us do not have.

Nigerians may never do that.
We thrive in tribalism instead of patriotism

Without  mentioning any specific country, others can learn from the Greek national football team.

Flying in money aboard an aeroplane to ensure the players troop out for  their next match is disgraceful - but then thats what comes with being born into poverty!

Nigerian politicians should demonstrate patriotism to empower the players to emulate. It is better to pay them for doing something positive than to allow corrupt and heartless individuals to embezzle it.

Wow, this incredible and good patriotism because, they are aware of  the austerity measure in their Country. This is a really good example to follow so, greedy People take note.
