Brazil would be a lot better with Firmino as a number 9
The reason why Arsenal was condemned because they field non registered youth player (apparently you must register every senior player to field them, but not necessary for youth player) in the league cup. You cant do the same for world cup. Every 'second team' player they field are registered so i dont think this would be a problem.BetScalper wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 11:59 pmI think Croatia would have to be careful, if they put out a so called "Second Team" and Argentina protest then FIFA could step in.
Although I am not sure what they would/could actually do apart from fining them or maybe kicking them out of the tournament.
I know there are rules around Premier League teams who put out "Second Teams" if it could possibly mean another team got relegated etc.

Yep. I looked at the WC rules and it doesn't cover the topic.cyxstudio wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:16 pmThe reason why Arsenal was condemned because they field non registered youth player (apparently you must register every senior player to field them, but not necessary for youth player) in the league cup.

So if Croatia and Iceland agree to make changes and play for a draw then there is nothing Argentina or FIFA can do about it.
Unless of course they found text messages or a recording of the two manager's agreeing to do so. But again not sure what rule/law that would be breaking etc.

It could well end up being Brazil/Germany v England in the the last 16 stage.
I feel similar. Layd the draw at 3.40 ish...got out at 2..thinking Costa could do it..then sat there "knowing"/suspecting Brazil would get 2 as the flow changed .Bah
My plan was to even up the greens on the u1.5 g market if there is a goal scored. But the goal was scored in extra time and it was really going to be over soon so i decided to take some extra risk and just wait till the game ends. ...
