Cortland Cartwright took to the mic in his post fight interview and said 'The Greeks should be responsible for their own actions. But let's say they recklessly borrow money for a big party and now they have no hope of paying it all back. Should the banks who recklessly lent them the money be responsible for their own actions? Or should the EU continue to bail them out?'.
