[Albion] Argentina World Cup Squad

[Kinky Gerbil]

Could affect Brighton with MacAllister

Clubs need to stay strong and tell them to go away, im sure other nations will follow.

FIFA need to manage this carefully to ensure consistency across all countries because if Argentina get away with it, then all the others will want to.

Yeah i would hope we and other clubs would say no. Argentina trying to make something which is their problem ours instead.

Well. It's quite an obvious extension of having a world cup scheduled in the middle of the season.

If it's only one match, I imagine the club will look at the bigger picture and allow Alexis the choice about whether he wants to leave or not.

Yeah i highly doubt this will be allowed. Having an extra week to train with players is definitely an advantage in tournaments like this, and FIFA need to keep things fair.

I was assuming that the tone of the OP was not about the fairness of the World Cup but the fact we would be without Mac for one game. Personally I think it was dumb to schedule games on the week before the opening fixture in the first place (not withstanding the whole world cup this time is a farce).

Some players won't be fully committed in those last few weeks anyway...

FIFA need to tell them where to go. No justification for one rule for them and one for everyone else.
