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

Much easier said than done. The world cup is only 1 year away... and there are a lot of games to get through.Perhaps now FIFA will get their shit together, recognise the shitstorm the world is in right now and postpone or organise suitable fixtures.

How is this on FIFA?Greedy Infantino and Fifa, corrupt and inept football officials of these countries, embarrassing really.
we allowed them to go...thats a fault right there.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...

Eh? so how did the other clubs bar us and Villa with South American players enforce it?No we didn't.
We requested that they stayed. However we held no juristiction over the situ.

The other clubs were willing to take the punishments from Fifa and play the "bad guy" against the players.Eh? so how did the other clubs bar us and Villa with South American players enforce it?
We had the opportunity to enforce it and we chose not to.Good will of the players/other national teams presumably...
Hence Brazil were rightfully pissed (having accepted the absence of a number of players and the prospect of fielding a weakened team) when FIFA flipped their stance and came down hard on the rules; insisting players HAD to report for int. duty on the eve of the int. break.
We had the opportunity to enforce it and we chose not to.
"Guys with current Covid guidelines we have discovered that you would be breaching covid protocol that is in place in Brazil therefore we are refusing to allow you to join up with the Argentinian squad"Can you reference/expand on this suggestion?
Hahahahaha - how do you know that exactly?We requested that they stayed.
"Guys with current Covid guidelines we have discovered that you would be breaching covid protocol that is in place in Brazil therefore we are refusing to allow you to join up with the Argentinian squad"
"Guys with the current Covid guidelines we have discovered that you would be breaching covid protocol that is in place in Brazil therefore we are allowing you to play the first game but due to the guidelines we expect you to return before the Brazil game to start your 10 day isolation period".
