多哥的媒體對球隊在世界盃期間要求過多的獎金感到羞恥，其中有一家報紙把這支隊伍的表現稱作是“國恥”！

　　多哥隊將會在沒有主教練的情況下出征6月13日在法蘭克福對陣韓國隊的比賽。多哥隊前主教練普菲斯特Otto Pfister表示球隊獎金的公開化使得他無法再率領球隊征戰，他于6月9日晚辭去主教練一職。

　　有可能接替普菲斯特Otto Pfister的前喀麥隆隊主教練弗雷德-沙費爾Winfried Schaefer在6月12日表示他不認為他會出任多哥隊主教練一職。

　　多哥的《人民鬥爭報》以“多哥參加2006年世界盃——國恥”為題，表示鋻於多哥的經濟情況，球員們的要求是不切實際地。”多哥球員要求他們為參加世界盃每人發給15.5萬歐元，另外，球隊每贏一場，另加3萬歐元，如果打平，則為1.5萬歐元。

　　World-Togo bonus row branded a national disgrace

　　LOME, June 12 (Reuters) - Togo's media voiced shame over the team's demands for hefty bonus payments at the World Cup, with one newspaper branding the row "a national disgrace".

　　The West Africans, who make their tournament debut against Group G rivals South Korea in Frankfurt on Tuesday, are without a coach after German Otto Pfister walked out last week, saying the much-publicised pay dispute had made his job impossible.

　　His possible replacement, former Cameroon coach Winfried Schaefer, said on Monday he did not think he would take the job.

　　"Togo's Participation in 2006 World Cup: A National Disgrace," headlined newspaper The People's Struggle, saying the demands of the players were unrealistic given the country's economic plight.

　　"The Togolese have shown their defects to the whole world," the newspaper wrote, adding they were the only team to have marred the tournament with financial demands.

　　Togolese players demanded 155,000 euros ($192,200) each to play in the World Cup plus 30,000 each per win and 15,000 per draw.

　　Officials from a country with average per capita income well below $1,000 said that was too much and talks stalled.

　　In contrast to this year's African Nations Cup when the "Hawks" failed to win a point, soccer fever has steadily drained from the streets of Togo's capital Lome.

　　"One would say our country is cursed. We always wait until the last minute to create problems," said Charles Anani, a bar owner who installed a big screen television to watch the games.
