Eight Brazilian players might be ineligible to play this weekend
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
I read that Raphinha turned down the call up, so how is it fair that he’s not able to play?
Suits us with how Fred has started the season.
I didn’t think Fred got the call up hasn’t he been training at carrington?
What’s this 5 day rule?
Brazil doing us a favour.
2 poor games where he was left to hang out to dry a little bit. People were praising him after Leeds.
This is so confusing. Why do Brazil dictate quarantine rules for players arriving in the UK?
Also. Why different durations for some players vs others?
None of the PL Brazil players went. This is Brazil's "revenge" for the league refusing to release the players
I thought this myself.
It is clear that Fred cannot shine without McTominay, the plaudits he has got have all come when he is playing with McTominay.
It is clear that Fred cannot do a job in CM on his own, he just isn't good enough.
He was hung out to dry? How so? he was the one making passes that led to counter attacks?
he was the one mis controlling a ball that led to Wolves attacks.
How are those mutually exclusive? If he got the call up and didn't go he wouldn't be sitting at home doing nothing.
No. It really doesn’t. He was good against Leeds and had an ok second half against Wolves. With McT out, this is a bit of a disaster. Matic and Pogba doing all the hard running in central midfield? Good luck with that.
It's not quarantine rule. 3 years ago Irish FA invoked this rule when striker refused call up.
Explain to me the purpose of it then
Edit - I assumed it was covid/isolation shite. Just petty shite instead.
Oh right. It’s punishment for not travelling. So fecking crazy to use this rule during a pandemic. The Brazilian FA is a mess.
Yeah, it's like we are dealing with robots here with only binary answers.
what the hell is this now 
Is FIFA obligated to honor this rule being invoked or are they allowed to dismiss the Brazilian FA's request?
I genuinely wouldn’t care if they scrapped international football altogether at this point.
Oh no! Anyway...
I get why they want to prevent clubs/players from dropping out of international games with "injuries" that are mysteriously cured in time for the next league game but this isn't that.
The likes of Silva and Cavani were pissed off they couldn't travel, now there's a chance they get punished?

Also to those saying thank god Fred is out. Watch Shelvey and Longstaff dominate a midfield of Pogba and Matic again and create chance after chance.
Maybe they should end this while "retiring" from international football too.
You can retire when you're 70

Seems very punitive. FIFA are responsible for this mess. Internationals during this pandemic is such a moronic idea.
Football associations should be paying the clubs for taking their players and disrupting their season year after year.
Chance for Donny to start?
Wait… first they couldn’t travel due to Brazil‘s covid quarantine rules and now Brazil is punishing them for not traveling?
The Brazilian FA want to punish players for not playing in a home fixture which was interrupted mid-game because they were unable to ensure both teams were safe to play the game. Fecking morons.
Yeah this, why in the feck are internationals going on during a pandemic? Brainless.
Am I missing something or would they have had to quarantine for 14 days in Brazil anyway as they’d be travelling from the U.K. ala the Argentina players…
If you put it like that, this five day thing seems frivolous. Hope FIFA tell them to do one
What happens if they play? Will they get fined the moment they return to Brazil? Will Bolsonaro personally banish them from the country?
Invade the UK, obviously
Why can't Fred play on Tuesday but Richarlison can on Monday? 
If Donny still doesn't get a minute...
He was hung out to dry in the sense that we already knew his limitations and the fact that he isn't suited to a role as a solo holding midfielder.
Lads it's Newcastle.
The summer tournaments are still good, but the rest of it just feels an utter procession.
Seeing England batter some miniscule country 4 or 5-0 nil every game round is utterly pointless, and just means someone like Kane will end up on 100 international goals, as opposed to the 50 or so Lineker and the like got.
Stopping our league for 2 weeks, and then them at other times cramming in 4 or 5 games over 2 weeks is nothing short of ludicrous too.
VdB Should be getting a chance, but expect to see a Matic and Pogba pairing in a 4-2-3-1.
