pat077: ....Ironically, Cape Verde were
awarded the points from the
match in March, when Varela was
sent off, after Fifa ruled
opponents Equatorial Guinea had
used an ineligible player.
Equatorial Guinea originally won
the match 4-3 only for the result
to be overturned when Fifa
decided Emilio Nsue Lopez did
not meet eligibility rules on
nationality....
what goes around comes around.

yeah, that's Karma for you.

Ethiopia committed the same offence in a previous match.They had three points deducted but still managed to qualify.

I guess it was a deliberate act and they deserve the sanction.

CFCfan: The seeded teams will be Cote D' Ivoire, Ghana, Algeria, Nigeria and Tunisia.

And they are the likely countries that will qualify for d world cup

Caper verde is surely a learnee in soccer, this is the outcome of over reliance on boardroom points, they were beneficiaries earlier from a previous game now it has come to haunt them.

This is why we should not complain too much if African countries are not doing well in FIFA rankings, we always want the easy way out all the time.

Am sure Malawi and Tom Sainfeit will be checking all the team sheets of all the games now to see if they can still qualify in case Kenya, Nigeria or Namibia must have used ineligible players.

This is how we play in Africa! so sad!

Don't even bring that bold part in to this. Nigeria will never try ridiculous things like that where there are bunch of yet to be discovered skillful players.
