Brazil-Argentina World Cup qualifier halted over COVID protocols



A Brazil-Argentina World Cup qualifying match has been suspended after health officials said four Argentinian players had violated COVID-19 quarantine rules.
According to Brazilian health authorities Premier League players Giovani Lo Celso, Emiliano Martinez, Emiliano Buendia and Cristian Romero provided “false information” to immigration officials, failing to disclose they had spent time in the UK prior to their arrival.
Calling off the match just minutes after kick-off triggered chaos between police and players on the pitch.

  1. this is a total joke for two reasons one must have known about covid breach long before kick off if there was any and 2) people supporters paid money to see that game and it got called after five minutes what a joke

  2. There is no reason to take action on a field, IN PUBLIC, …until they show up on the field to play after they have been told, SEVERAL TIMES, NOT TO. As already stated, THE RULES ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. Everyone on the planet knows what the rules are in their own countries and abroad. The instructions to the players is coming from the TEAM MANAGEMENT as to who plays and who doesn't. This lies on TEAM MANAGEMENT. However BOTH players AND management know what's going on ….and they collectively tried to get away with something …AND GOT CAUGHT. This is no one else's fault but their own.

    It appears these football organizations think the rules do not apply to them ….perhaps particularly the players.(?) Maybe because the players make tens of millions of dollars every year, they think they are above the rules ….because they are "special".

    The COVID virus has spread ALL OVER THE WORLD. There is only ONE way for the spread to happen ….TRAVEL ….otherwise it would NOT have spread from WUHAN, CHINA.

    NOPE ….NO SYMPATHY FROM ME. If anything, ALL HEALTH AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO FINING BOTH PLAYERS INVOLVED AND TEAM MANAGEMENT EVERY TIME THEY BREAK THE RULES ……AND THE FINES SHOULD BE IN THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS …NOT THOUSANDS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

    I watch Neymar arguing very aggressively with "officials". WHY? This strongly suggests that he really DOES think he is special ….or rules do not apply to footballers. ?????

  3. John 4:6-10(KJV) Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
    There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
    (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
    Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
    Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
