SO Brazil v Argentina has been suspended after 10 minutes. Police and health officials have taken to the pitch to detain the premier league Argentina players who they claim have broken quarantine rules because they lied about having been in the UK in the last 14 days :o

I think its Martinez, Buendia and Lo Celso and maybe one more :o edit: Romero is the 4th

Don't understand why they waited until the 10th minute to do it. As soon as the players walked out for the warm up they could've done the same thing as they'd broken quarantine rules at that point. Or even when they'd been training with their team in the previous few days. Seems like the officials wanted to make it all about them rather than the rule breach.

the laughable thing is have you been in the uk in the last 14 days? its not like they can argue it having played in the premier league in that period!!!!

Maybe they were watching a repeat of Match of the Day and suddenly saw them on Telly ?
 
Not sure where you go with this one. Deliberate attempt to breach a nation's covid regulations, if that is the case then expulsion from the tournament would be my suggestion (will never happen). Was the Brazilian FA in any way complicit (any obligation to check the covid status of teams playing in their country). Surely you cannot just blame the players, or maybe you can. This could rumble on for a while.

really does depend on who you believe lol, but this has been muttered about for a few days, there was talk that fifa told brazil they had to play the game when they threatened to not allow argentina to field the 4 players otherwise they would have to forfeit the game, hence the game was allowed to kick off then the police/health dept intervened
 
Interesting that the BBC website says that the 4 players had already been notified of the issue and were supposed to remain in the hotel pending deportation but went to the ground and played.

yet fifa had told them to play and that brazil would be stripped of the game if they stopped them playing

lots of authorities think they had jurisdiction until it played out, or until it finally does in the future

How can any sporting body think it has jurisdiction above the national health agency and, by proxy, the government
 
Kane playing at right back.
He’s been everywhere except where he should be?

where did they get this ref. Some very poor decisions.
He let Glick pinch Walkers neck right in front of him.
They are trying to muscle us but sure we will beat them.
Sterling’s end product poor again. Take him on he’s a donkey with a yellow card.
