    Yeah that’s now. But it they’d offered him a cap 5 or 6 years ago when he was dirt then he’d suddenly have felt ‘Irish’ and be locked in like the likes of Arter, McGoldrick, Christie, etc. Should have done it in time with Rice and Kane too.

    I think so too and the rules should be changed so players aren’t as easily eligible, the granny rule especially is a joke, but so many are playing that game now that there should be a definite move towards locking in players based on scouting.

    If I had my way then every international player should have to make their mind up by the U19’s and only play for someone else if both parents are from there.

    I thought Declan Rice at least had Irish parents, since he looks Irish, but lol it's one set of grandparents. He's as Irish as Ryan Giggs is black. Turning out for them suggests a lack of confidence in his own abilities, so we ought to drop the coward going forward.

    After 30 seconds of listening to him talk you know there’s not an Irish bone in his body (and I don’t just mean the sickening innits), but he still should have been tied in while they could for the lols. It’s a bit like Josh Cullens haircut; plays for Ireland, lives in Belgium, looks like Bam. English to the bone.

    You could just about wrap your head around it if his grandparents were particularly influential in his life to the point where he could convince himself he had some cultural ties to Ireland, like people who play for Scotland/Wales because their dad from there forced them to, but this David McGoldrick getting in on a blood test come on mate you can't need the money that much.

    Tidy player for us and we could really fucking do with him now, but he should never ever have been allowed to pull on a jersey.

    They seem to think so based on the amount of cunts have told me they’re Irish (and asked me if I know someone who’s pushing up daisies) because they traced a tree back to the 1800’s.

    I like how they say it’s because they lied about being in the UK like they weren’t on TV last week.

    Their president has had COVID more times than the Argentina team combined.

    Wait, Brazil require UK arrivals to isolate/quarantine for 14 days but they were pissing and moaning about not having premier league players released to them? Doesn't that sort of undermine their position?

    The Brazilian players are fine. It’s the Argentinians that are the issue.

    Did they post an Instagram of the 4 of them lolling into Brazil on a private jet? Not exactly doing much for the thick footballer stereotype if they did.

    Giggles I think the fact that they were playing a televised match in the Premier League last week might have given the game away.

    Lo Celso, Romero (both Spurs) and Martinez (Aston Villa).

    But either way, we're talking premier league players here. It can't be a surprise to them that they have been in the UK.

    Lock the cunts up. Just because they're footballers doesn't mean the rules don't apply.

    Also like the banning Argentina idea.

    So you can arrive in Brazil from the UK [or have been in the UK during the previous 14 days] to play football for Brazil and that's fine, but if you do the same to player for Argentina it's not?

    Seems a foolproof gambit and I'm not sure why other countries haven't been outlawing people from playing football against their national side.

    Certainly something for your mob to think about.

    Aye, this is what I thought. Then thought there was something more daft at play than mere pettiness.

    My original point was that the Brazilian FA can't really complain about clubs not releasing players who wouldn't have been able to play for the national team anyway, but I guess they could then roll out the lol wot well they could have played in the away games defence.

    Argentina should be awarded that match. If Brazil let them in the airport in the first place, that's their problem, not football's problem.

    Is the point not that were allowed in but need to isolate, which they didn’t do, because they lied on the forms.

    Whether or not it was done for shithouse reasons, you lie on an entry form to a country to avoid following the laws/rules of the land, then they have every right to impose their authority.

    If a non footballer said “aye mate, I’m just here for a weekend with my pals and I’ll be leaving on Monday anyway so I’m not isolating” that wouldn’t work, nor would telling the authorities “gimme a couple of hours to smash out this pub crawl and then I’ll leave”.

    Nah. If they’re weren’t supposed to be there and tried to circumvent the rules then they deserve to get chucked out. Argentina could’ve fielded a team without them. They chose to lie and bring them along.

    Laws of the land trumps sport.

    They're now having to isolate back here and have been fined by their clubs. Idiots.

    Brazil remain a shambles. It should have been picked up at the airport or - failing that - at any point before they were on the fucking pitch. It was done for effect.
