Bosnia captain Dzeko, who now plays his club football for Roma, was bundled to the ground by Papadopoulos with his side leading the match 1-0 with just 15 minutes remaining. The Greek defender then attempted to wrestle ball away from Dzeko, who reacted angrily – ripping down his opponents shorts in a bizarre show of defiance while still prone on the floor. — The Daily Mail.
