Lionel Messi. Master of disguise.
Obviously this happens to Tottenham players 
Perhaps a swap deal with Winks can be reached?
I love South American football.
I don't blame Romero and Lo Celso at all to be honest. To argies, as it should be to everyone in the world, getting invited to play for the NT is the biggest privilege in the world, and the proudest moment for any football player. This is all on FIFA, CONMEBOL, The Argentinian FA and the Brazil authorities. How fucking inept can the brazillian authorities be?
"The players lied about where they were previously". WELL YOU COULD'VE MADE 2 SECONDS OF RESEARCH YOU DUMB IDIOTS ! They're public figures, Romero and Lo Celso played for Spurs before, HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW THAT THEY JUST CAME FROM ENGLAND??? How could the Argentinian FA not know that they needed to be quarantined? It's all a complete farce, and it's Spurs (and Villa) who suffer the consequences through no fault of their own...

Perhaps now FIFA will get their shit together, recognise the shitstorm the world is in right now and postpone or organise suitable fixtures.
Oooooo look, a flying pig...

Still the only Premiere League club to have players arrested on the pitch.
Another first.
Another first.
During a global pandemic, its absurd. There's just no way to practically allow them to coexist without greatly distorting both competitions. Nations in red zones whose players don't report because its a global health crisis and doing so jeopardizes their employers are at a competitive disadvantage. Clubs who employ players who do report to red zones because they feel an obligation to do so are at a competitive disadvantage.
The responsible thing for any real governing body in this situation would have been to work with the leagues and FAs to remove the international breaks from the season, accelerate league schedules to conclude a little sooner, give the players a rest, conduct quick fire WC qualifiers in the summer, gove the players a rest, have the first part of next season, then break for the WC.
For once the universe delivered a break - the insanely stupid Qatar winter WC gave FIFA maximum flexibility to adapt the tournament around a global pandemic. And, in their finest fashion, they managed to completely fuck that opportunity up by just pretending the global pandemic didn't exist.
Seriously. Fuck FIFA. If that means the end of international football, so be it. It ain't worth it.
If so that should be us telling all our players they can fuck off travelling to red flag countries again until this fucking pandemic is over
Yeah, Levy is trying to negotiate now to get a discount on bail money.
"Congrats to Gio and Cuti who completed 6 minutes of frenetic action in Brazil yesterday, well done lads!"
Officials worried about Covid spread bundle onto the pitch pushing and facing up to players they suspect of breaking Covid rules. Only in South America.
That prison XI is starting to look pretty decent
