Croatia are playing Slovenia tomorrow and Argentina are still due to play Bolivia late Thursday night ? What am I missing in regards to the Croatia link ?

The Emis are missing the last game and flying to Croatia to quarantine I think, I guess it has some sort of advantage in terms of timing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AFA are the idiots in this. We knew where the games was and should have read the Brazilian rules and informed the players and the Argentinian fa our players couldn't play or had to isolate for 14 days. Its not rocket science and the information is readily available on any travel agents website. It's embarrassing and Villa can't hide from it and blame the Argentinian FA, they don't pay the players and don't give a shit about our Premier league status .

AFA are responsible for the team they put out, if members of that team should have been in quarantine for 14 days as they've come from plague island then that's their responsibility. Not Aston Villa's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because they won’t have to self isolate when travelling from Argentina to Croatia so can train with each other for 10 days before returning to the Uk. Croatia is not on uk red list so as they will have spent previous 10 days there, they are free then to join up with the Villa squad without having lost fitness by completing a uk hotel room quarantine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have had a massive fall out with two key players and still lost them to international duty so they tried to make the best of a bad situation. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that The 2 spurs players went with The 2 Emigos and that spurs are run by Levy i would suggest that there was no other option.

sparrow1988 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Have FIFA come out and said anything on this? I mean we can apportion blame to the PL, Villa, the AFA, the Brazilian authorities whoever but really FIFA are the architects of this shitshow. They are the global governing body and this problem is very much global. They should be in negotiation with the respective FA‘s either through UEFA, CONMEBOL, and so on with the respective governments of where games are to take place to ensure that all the players can play in these countries on theses dates. But, instead they release a statement saying clubs are powerless to stop players going and then just sit back and say “well, that’s that sorted now. I can’t see how this could possibly go wrong”. I mean get creative. There’s an AFCON in January. Use the same window to move all the qualifiers in all jurisdictions to this time and just have it sorted and ready to go. But no, that’s too forward thinking. Look, I’m sure that there are reasons that wouldn’t work either but try something to sort it. At the same time though they’re probably just too busy pushing for a World Cup every two years. I mean what else are they meant to do with all the stadiums in Qatar that will be useless in 18 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Do you think Purslow, whilst mainly annoyed, is just a tiny tiny bit pleased with himself that we’re so massive we’ve managed to bring to a halt one of the biggest fixtures in international football and cause a diplomatic crisis? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their right to play for their country when called upon. Representing your country should be the pinnacle of any footballer worth his salts career and the club was right to accommodate their desire to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
