The whole thing with the Australian players and officials leaving via the main entrance (even when they knew it would mean trouble) was set up by the Uruguayan authorities.
The whole spitting incident was not in itself planned but the idea of putting security fears into the media and especially the players heads is set up. This means the players will possibly focus on that rather than the football.
A similar sort of incident happened in 1970 at the World Cup in Mexico when England played in Bogota. The English players went shopping, then were arrested for shop lifting and stuck in jail, simply to put them off their game, the whole thing was set up.
