A FIFA já terá decidido suspender o futebol português (selecções e clubes) de todas as competições internacionais, segundo noticiou ontem ao início da madrugada a edição electrónica do “Expresso”. No entanto, a execução da decisão tomada na sequência do “caso Mateus” e do recurso aos tribunais comuns por parte do Gil Vicente está “suspensa” até ao dia 14, para não comprometer as obrigações imediatas da Selecção e dos clubes nas eurotaças. A decisão terá sido comunicada a Madaíl na quinta-feira.

Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you could have!

From what I can make out, are they talking about the suspension of the Portugese team from competitions!?!

[JPicasso]

see zuperman post.

Okay, so a portugese team cheats, and so portugal should join another organization?

I don't understand what the deal is. Granted, I"m a dirty American...

gives the portuguese players a chance to participate in new sports. Try the diving board lads, you're good at it

a portuguese team cheats because went to a civil court

The small club with 5,500 members challenged the suspension of the Angolan player in a civil court, contravening league and FIFA rules.

well... we could be a small country... but we have laws... and a national constitution...
so... now the portuguese cant appeal to civil courts cause FIFA doesnt want that... yes sure...
who the hell are FIFA...
we still have a government...

who cares about FIFA, aka as zidane friends ...

anyone for another federation

I"m reading this:

The row started earlier this month with the relegation of Gil Vicente from the Premier League after they used an ineligible player, Mateus.

I don't know who Gil Vicente or what a Mateus is, but is sounds like someone cheated.

It also sounds like the FIFA council is full of a bunch of tards. But then, there is major league baseball...
