Ederson and Jesus cleared to play (Pg 63)

[chaddblue]

Apparently because he played the Olympics for them.

Yeah that's the official reason given but it stinks

Richarlisson and Everton have done exactly the same as the other clubs so should be treated exactly the same

For reasons Brazilian citizens apparently arnt required to quarantine on entry to the country, so they could have actually played, unlike the Argentines who came from the same place, which in itself is completely ridiculous and probably another reason why Brazil has been doing so poorly with covid if cant act objectively with rules.

I feel fifa has maybe bitten off too much here trying to enforce this ruling and some powerful interests could be happy to try curb their power over club football if they get the opportunity to go to some court.

LOL That makes things more ridiculous.
I could partially understand if they were returning from holiday but they are resident here and no different than you or I.

He’s shit anyway. Spends more time sat on the floor with his arms spread out frowning than he does playing football. Benitez is probably disappointed he can play him.

The rule exists for exactly that reason, to stop players from skipping games "injured" and turning out for their club a day or so later

So - Sancho won’t be playing for rags a few days after the final England game tonight?

 

[TonyM]

OMG WTF YCNMIU IMHO

To be fair we started it with all the abuse ITKs got.

 

[hihosilva]

As i understand it at the moment Fifa have not yet agreed to the Brazil FA to ban these players.

 

[deegee33]

Brazil have asked FIFA to invoke the ban

Is there still a chance that FIFA could decide not to invoke it, or come to a compromise... or have FIFA already confirmed they will invoke the ban?

You're kidding,right! As soon as Manchester City and the word ban were seen in the same sentence, the invoke alarm sounded at FIFA HQ.

So, Brazil are trying to get Brazilian players banned for not going to South America, but stopped a game that had already started to stop Argentinian players from the UK from playing.

Welcome to the World of FIFA

As the dippers have 3 players suspended there's always hope. If it was just us I would agree

Is this for definate ?

Let's hope common sense prevails and they allow for the fact that we're in the middle of a global pandemic.

We should get the lawyers on this, having one rule for one, and another rule for others is discriminatory.

 

[hihosilva]

NO, Fifa have not agreed to the ban yet

Covid and City ruining football since FIFA was honest.

 

[kaz7]

NO, Fifa have not agreed to the ban yet

Thanks

Storm the stadium, get the game called off. No repercussions for that. Game rearranged, they can both play.

 

[mccity]

@BrazilianBlue (Gus) what's the public reaction in Brazil been to all of this?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Wenger will be all for it. No Arsenal players affected

Wenger out blud.

I'm up for it. Anyone know where I can buy some Zebra pants?

Not 100% as FIFA are considering but the BBC comments…

“As automatic restrictions for non-release are within the Fifa rulebook, the world governing body would have to go against the demands of nations who believe they are being disadvantaged to stop the five-day rule being applied. That is not going to happen”
