Toure complains about the 'injustices' suffered by Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure says nobody cares about the "injustices" his team suffered at the hands of referees at the World Cup. The Manchester City star feels African teams are not given the respect they deserve and was frustrated by a stoppage-time penalty handed to Greece which eliminated his side.

"Of course, it does not upset anyone because it only concerns an African team," says Toure. "Who really cares about the injustices of an African team? This mistake deprives us of something huge. It is a scandal that unfortunately does not seem to bother many people."
