Ederson and Jesus cleared to play (Pg 63)

I am sure FIFA will see sense and make the right decisions. With Infantino at the helm and with the experience of Wenger to draw upon they won't make the mistake of banning players who would have been banned if they had travelled and banned on their return, by not travelling and then banning them, would they ?

They used to drown would be witches, and hang them if they survived the drowning.

Wenger will be all for it. No Arsenal players affected

Play them.
Let them try and dock us three points (if we win) and sue them.

If we do that under FIFA rules Leicester would be awarded with a 3-0 win no matter what the result is

Liverpool play Leeds this weekend, both could potentially play Brazilian players and defy the ruling. Your scenario doesn't work there.

Well come October and November all PL clubs (and hopefully other European leagues) do exactly the same. Missing 1 or 2 club matches is really inconvenient for those clubs but it's much much worse for Brazil. No negotiation to try and solve this issue, just a refusal to release them.

The easiest solution for this would surely have been to just move the games to a country that isn't red listed, its not like Brazil aren't used to playing all over the globe. I suspect once more money would have prevented that obvious solution from happening.

Award each team a 0-3 defeat.

So it’s only us that lose two important players!

United can't play Fred then the lucky bastards.

Award each team a 40 point deduction and relegate both the cunts.
