Wow ..thats ni e sesko ... top striker

semid4lyfe:
To be clear, the major thrust of NFF's petition is that DR Congo FA knowingly withheld relevant information (lying by omission) and misled FIFA into clearing those players. Spot and know the difference.

Karlovich:
None of the Malaysian players in question were born in Malaysia, lived in Malaysia for the minimum 5 years required by FIFA, or had a parent/grandparents that were born in Malaysia.

Are you aware that one can acquire legal citizenship of a country through marriage yet FIFA doesn't give a crap about it anymore.

Currently there are 2 Nigerians representing Armenia because they got their citizenship after meeting the 5 year residency requirement

lovewins:
This case isn't the same as DR Congo's though. Malaysia registered players fraudulently who had no ties to Malaysia but fasley claimed ancestry to the place. What Malaysia should have done instead was to give citizenship to said players via naturalization (assuming of course they'll follow the laid down rules for naturalization).

DR Congo's case is a different conversation all together. The heritage of the players concerned aren't in question. It's really about trying to take advantage of a technicality to our advantage.

Danielnino00:
Are you sure you're a supporter?
I've noticed that you emit this bad belle vibe most times....
You obviously defended South Africa and claimed they won't be punished by FIFA.... you also argued that the Eritrea factor won't be applied to enable us qualify as second best placed team.....I might be wrong, but you were also among those who defended Libya's maltreatment of our players in their country....

I seriously doubt if you're a supporter

BREAKING NEWS:💥🔥🔥🔥

FIFA has penalised Malaysia with three 3-0 defeats for fielding ineligible players, the country’s football authorities said Wednesday, the latest punishment in a simmering scandal.

Friendly wins over Palestine and Singapore, and a draw against Cape Verde, all at home this year, have been overturned, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) said.
FIFA has already suspended seven foreign-born national team players over forged documents that claimed they had Malaysian ancestry.
The FAM, previously fined $440,000, has now been hit with a further $12,500 punishment.
A FIFA disciplinary committee meeting on Friday ruled that “Malaysia is declared to have lost 3-0 in all three matches”, the FAM said.
FIFA launched an investigation after receiving a complaint following Malaysia’s 4-0 win against Vietnam in June in an Asian Cup qualifier.

Two of the seven players scored.
Its investigation showed none of Hector Hevel, Jon Irazabal, Gabriel Palmero, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, or Joao Brandao Figueiredo had a parent or grandparent born in Malaysia, a requirement for selection to a national team.

NFF technical dept is zeo. Chelle and Pep Gardiola need help. Modern teams even hire set-piece coaches. These Super Eagles we saw today can get thrashed by any disciplined minnow in AFCON.
