Probably not the right place for this, but Qatar managed to get to the final of the Asia cup... Im fairly sure theres something shady going on there.

Qatar are claiming to have documents that they won't release which prove both player's are eligible to play due to their mother's being born in Qatar, despite documents being available that show them being born in Iraq and Sudan. AFC are supporting Qatar but are refusing to answer any questions as to why, or provide any documentation that proves their eligibility. Additionally, Iraq's star striker in this tournament was ruled by their government to actually be 3 years younger than he is in order to beat a FIFA ban, the whole confederation is a mess

Surely Qatar could just naturalize those players as citizens rather than make up some story? I guess that would probably force the government to release their passports to them.

They're Qatari citizens, but FIFA regs require them to have lived in the country for 5 years explicitly to stop countries from naturalising players after like a week of residency

Chinese league teams have recently been hunting down players who have Chinese family as far back as great grandparents to naturalise to get around the foreign player limit within the league

Given that we're talking about messes in Asian football, this is probably a good place to post about Hakeem Al-Araibi: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/feb/01/hakeem-al-araibi-supporters-say-fifa-and-ioc-must-threaten-sanctions-against-bahrain He was outspoken against the Bahraini government and subsquently arrested for vandalism during the arab spring, but every crime he's accused of was commited while he was playing in a televised match for Bahrain. He fled to Australia and was granted refugee status, and last month went to Thailand on his honeymoon, and as soon as he left the country the Australian Federal Police notified Thailand that he was still wanted in Bahrain, and he's been detained since, and is currently under extradition orders back to Bahrain where he'll be again tortured and presumably worse. There's been marches around the country here in Australia to protest his detention but it looks like he's got at least another 2 months in jail fighting the case against extradition

The Mash posted:This is some next level scummy behaviour by the Australian Federal Police We really hate refugees here. That said, the case in their defense is that Interpol had erroneously issued a red notice on Hakeem as requested by Bahrain, which they were obliged to alert Thai authorities to, even though they knew Interpol aren't meant to issue a red notice against a refugee on request of the country they're fleeing from

Almoez Ali, the Sudanese "Qatari" player, has scored an absolute belter of a bicycle kick to put Qatar up 1-0 in the Asian Cup final at half time, and I hope its the winning goal and everyone goes into meltdown over his eligibility

It was my 2-5x, sorry I don't have the menu prices for a mediocre fast food establishment committed to memory. I think the actual quote I had when I ate there for the 1st time was "ok so Wendy's with a long-rear end line and a cult".
