Why, when it was very clear that Argentinian players would not be allowed to visit, would Argentina still proceed to not just pick but play these players.

Supposed 25 day isolation aways! :wow

Not sure why the Health Authorities decided that they would raid, only after the game kicked off?

It's a complete car crash, absolute madness the lot of it.

I think it's fair to say heads will roll, what a joke.

Guess the benefit is, we play Villa in 13 days, which means Buendia and Martinez won’t be able to play.

But they announced the squad a week ago, why didn’t the AFA and Brazilian authorities have a conversation? They Brazilian FA did, just such a mad one.

Argentina deserve a forfeit there.

Argentina? Not sure I follow that

They deserve to be given a 3-0 loss.

They knew the rules, Brazil knew the rules, the only difference is, one tried to bend the rules, and the didn’t.

I don't think a country hosting a match should be given leeway to tell the other who can and can't play, even in the current climate. If Brazil couldn't host the whole Argentine squad then the game should have been moved or postponed beforehand. It's not like they broke a competition rule.

I mean, if i've got to isolate for 15-days, why shouldn't they?

The reality is, it's not a Brazillian federational law. It's a Government rule, one FIFA will have had to have been aware of.

Argentina chose to ignore it, and for some reason Spurs and Villa still agreed to it. Messy all round, but if you're Argentina, you've fielded 4 ineligible players... typically that results in 3-0 w/o, so why different now?
