[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1097376, member: 55747"] See, that's part of the problem. I'd like to see them banned from the next 2 WC's, at least. They knew. I would like a journo to get an interview with any top 3 WR ex and ask, point blank, in what parallel universe is it ok for no one in WR, NO ONE to check this. Lock the room and dont let him till you get an answer and make it live on yt, tt, fb and every platform available to mankind. This is just not acceptable. All of this, EVERY SINGLE BIT could be avoided so ******* easily. How hard, how ******* hard could it be for an independent entity to check someone's eligibility? It is literally ticking a few boxes based on documents that anyone at that level should have readily available. Again, a competent 15-year-old with internet access and the adequate software could check a team in a day. It is not rocket science. - Clear rules for eligibility - presented docs by RAs - crossref both - if in doubt, he cannot play, period. THAT IS IT. I'm fuming. it is mind-boggling. Spain fields a questionable player in a non-event of a game and they lay the smack on them, rightly so. And Italy fields an ineligible player in consecutive world cups and they get nothing but a slap on the wrist? **** you. **** you. When tier 2/3 complain they are right 99% of the times. We're a bunch of hypocrites who claim to follow a global sport when it's nothing more than a big old boys club. Then they show us a live feed of Bill Beaumont attending Bahamas vs Nicaragua while having Owens officiate it and we all clap in unison as if it meant something. **** them, **** us. This is bloody serious and it won't change until we address it accordingly. /rant [/QUOTE]
