Graham Arnold's Iraq thread

[erogenouszone]

Suriname just called up a bunch of Dutch guys including Joël Piroe who won the Championship with Leeds and Golden Boot last season, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they make it.

One day FIFA are going to say " Unless they're born in the actual country then all of these ring in's can fuck off". And yes that includes Australia's Scottish contingent.

Nah the Arabs won’t let them. I looked at this before actually, Qatar and the UAE call up heaps of foreigners playing in their leagues. China has done the same.

Anyway what about those raised in that country? E.g. would Nestory Irankunda have to play for Tanzania (where he was born as a Burundian refugee)? Would Ale Circati have to play for Italy?

FIFA won’t say that at all, they’ll anger too many national FA’s.

If he qualified they'd build a statue of him Saddam size in his honour. I think they can do it, tough but Bolivia aren't that good truth be told.
