UAE wants Qatar gone from the tourneyms_geeketteFebruary 1 2019, 14:24:31 UTC
UAE has lodged a protest alleging "that Almoez Ali, a 22-year-old striker born in Sudan, and Bassam Al Rawi, a 21-year-old defender born in Baghdad, have breached Fifa rules" "do not qualify to play for Qatar on residency grounds because they have not lived continuously in the Gulf state for at least five years over the age of 18."
This was posted yesterday and both of them are on the field rn (and Ali just scored), so I don't know if the AFC have already made their final ruling or what.
GOOOOOOOOAL! QATARms_geeketteFebruary 1 2019, 14:29:54 UTC
12' Goal! Japan 0, Qatar 1. Almoez Ali (Qatar) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Akram Hassan Afif.
Um, Japan, this is the guy you *definitely* need to neutralize.....
Ali is now the top scorer of the 2019 Tourney and possibly highest in Asian Cup history if he doesn't get kicked out due to UAE's complaint about not meeting FIFA residency requirements in Qatar.
Japan betta be rooting for UAE's complaint if they don't turn it around. ASAP Qatar scored 2 goals in less than 30 minutes, and they probably aren't done.
