Panini would be mighty fucked off if Chile win!
That can get in the bin!Saudi Arabia currently filling brown envelopes with cash and putting together a bid for the 2030 World Cup. Would be held in the winter
The player now admits to being Colombian, and the Ecuador FA may have known this for some time.Ecuador are meant to be playing Qatar in the opener. But it might yet be Chile.
Chile are adamant that one of Ecuador's players who played against them twice in the CONMEBOL group is Colombian and not qualified at all for Ecuador. Because of how the results fell (Ecuador took 4 points out of the games vs Chile), only they can benefit from those results being given as automatic walkovers if he wasn't eligible, and they would have gone through directly.
The complaint has been dismissed by FIFA once but it's going to appeal next week, and Ecuador's evidence to prove that everything is above board seems to be more than a bit lacking.

Listening to Tim Vickery he seems to think that Ecudor will be OK weather he was born in Colombia or what year is irrelevant as he has been in Ecudor since he was a child and had become an Ecudorian citizen ( which makes him Ecudorian in FIFA's eyes) before he was picked for international duty.The player now admits to being Colombian, and the Ecuador FA may have known this for some time.
