I'm going to have to change the rules, it could get messy otherwise. I'll have a think.

Any suggestions, everybody?

One sided game, Nigeria not even close.

Need to be born in the country of origin but allowed one wild card ??

It'll do me a huge favour if you don't contest the Iranian players.

Problem is, when one rule says a bird with dual nationality the place of birth wins over.

Not sure if the Iran team were even born in Iran.

Be a shame if that's the case as they are stunning.

Could call the match a draw I suppose and go from there

Tell you what, my Ivorian team will be significantly better second time around as I'll just play anyone French I fancy...that said, better than the real American team!

I did try and make sure they all had at least one Iranian parent at least, reckon they'd all be eligible for the actual Iranian football team!

Would have made it a thankless task if I'd tried to be too strict and I can humbly say I think the tournament has benefited from their inclusion...

that'll do for me 3-0 to Iran

hang on a minute.

2 of them don't even hold Iranian Nationality.

What a fuck-up. Sorry guys, I should have been more careful in checking.

What to do now?

I'm thinking I'll do the same for Algeria.

As much as I'm partly at fault for not checking, I think that the Iranian FA has been a tad cheeky here. I'm toying with the idea of Iran forfeiting the match.

Fair enough - if I've misinterpreted the rules I'll accept a forfeit. Thought I could get away with team members with an Iranian parent, obviously not. Can only apologise and I'll make sure to field a more strictly homegrown side for the remaining games.

Fair enough.

Decision made. Iran forfeit the game and Nigeria win by default.

I'm happy for Iran to win. I'm not going to contest the 'dual natiknality'. The better team won.

It's not so much a matter of dual nationality though. 2 of them are not even Iranian.

Typical FIFA bias against the smaller teams, if Diego Costa is Spanish then these girls are Iranian!

Must admit if they had one Iranian parent I'd have assumed that automatically meant dual nationality.

I think you should let him get away with this one but be strict on the following matches. The poor bastard has a hard enough job as it is!

I can't see any harm in using a player if they have a parent or grandparent born in that country, similar to the men's game. If two teams use the same player then it is decided on their place of birth.

The same applies to players with dual nationality. If both countries select the same player then it is decided on their birth country.

If the player is selected by one country, then they can't play for another country during the tournament, and the decision cannot be contested.

Fair?

Sorry, I need to be as fair as possible to other managers. Iran's forfeit is maintained.

I will be more vigilant from now on to stop this happening again.

Just having a parent from that country is not enough, they have to hold that country's nationality. If you are fielding a player born in another country playing in the tournament, then you must have permission from that country's manager. If you asked for permission but received no reply, that will count as you being granted permission.

Those photos are. But the ladies themselves aren't if they've been considered as 'misused' members of the USA, surely?

On the subject of photos, are ones from the same shoot as previous photos used okay?


Title: Re: Iran v Nigeria
Post by: Flashheart on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, 12:36:16


These players can be used by USA, just not the same photo.

Players in general can be used from the same shoot, just not the same photo.

You'll need to ask Russia (Sonic)

Scratch that, hold on.... She was born in the Ukraine, not Russia. No need to ask permission, she's yours
