I still don’t understand why there weren’t multiple red cards or why the scuffle happened. Ref must be weak.

And can we please stop with the all purpose venues?

- welsh player gets caught by a flailing arm, goes down
- turkish player goes over to him and gives him a "pat" on the face to stop timewasting
- gently caress off you turkish prick
- no you gently caress off welsh twat
- repeat to taste

ref was probably right to give everyone a yellow and be done with it

once you've chosen and played a certain amount of games (I think it's one at the top level?) you're set as a national team player from that country, barring exceptional circumstances (the creation of a state, i.e. Kosovo)

Once you’re capped, you’re capped. It’s not that arcane.

It’s arcane bullshit alright, and keeps getting changed because someone at FIFA gets mad about Russia/Qatar/USA/wherever starting teams of 11 Brazilians/Germans/whatever because they couldn’t find any football players at home

Currently: You can switch nationality from nation A to nation B if you or one of your parents/grandparents were born in the territory of B, or if you have lived in B for at least five years, as long as you have never played a competitive senior international match for A. If you played for A but it was only friendlies, you can still switch.

legit answer (if he hadn't played for wales):

country of birth
country of (any) parent's/grandparent's birth
has lived there for five years or more as an adult*

*the UK teams agree to ignore this one as a handshake deal so that it doesn't get super fucky

Thanks, humanity
In the future, if everyone is authoritarian, one of those authoritarians has to win, unless a war interrupts the event or something



E: Also brazil under Jair Messias hasn't gotten worse I believe which is a strike against this theory.


Brazil football, not Brazil country, which has.

tbf Qatar did that - the five year rule used to be two, and before that was just citizenship, but Qatar then decided to offer a bunch of b-tier Brazilians money to become Qataris and for a bunch of Kenyans to run for them in the Olympics

the US didn't do that, they just had their best striker declare for Italy as a troll and were super salty about it for yeaaaars, it was top fun
