    It's a pity Covid is so rife here because normally I would fly up to Hanoi to see Elder play, as long as he would be in the playing squad.

    Good for him, just hope he doesn't get injured! Hardly any trace of an Aussie accent.

    Apparently, he played in 3 different positions during the game and did well in all 3. Not all at the same time, I might add.

    That's funny when I listen to him I'm surprised how Aussie he sounds when he's spent so long in England.

    Brazil and Argentina's World Cup qualifier was abandoned just minutes after kick-off on Sunday after Brazilian health officials objected to the participation of three Argentine players they believe broke quarantine rules.
    The visitors walked off the pitch at the Corinthians arena after the officials came out to stop the game.


    The dramatic intervention came hours after Brazil's health authorities had said four England-based players for Argentina had to quarantine.

    Although it did not name the four, the players with English Premier League clubs are Emiliano Buendia and Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa and Giovani lo Celso and Cristian Romero of Tottenham Hotspur.

    Martinez, Lo Celso and Romero all started the game in Sao Paulo.

    No date for the rearranged fixture has been set with Argentina players leaving to prepare for their next World Cup qualifier - at home to Bolivia on Friday, 10 September.

    Just watched the Vietnam v Australia game which finished 1-0 to Aust, Elder was an unused sub, Irvine played for 90 minutes, Poor game, Australia to be fair didn't get out of first gear, but it was hot and humid which probably accounts for it. Looks like they're well on their way to the WC.

    Eight Premier League players will be stopped from playing for their clubs this weekend after Brazilian football authorities triggered a Fifa rule to prevent them appearing.

    Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Leeds United will all be affected.


    Players not released for an international window can be banned for five days after the window ends under the Fifa regulations.

    The decision covers 10-14 September.

    Brazil invoked the bans after the Premier League stopped players from appearing for their country if it meant travel to red list countries.

    Players travelling to red list countries would have had to miss several games on their return because of the 10-day isolation period required under UK rules.

    In addition to missing their sides' weekend games, Chelsea defender Thiago Silva and Manchester United midfielder Fred will also not be allowed to play in their teams' opening Champions League games against Zenit St Petersburg and Young Boys next Tuesday.

    However, it is understood Brazil have not asked for Everton forward Richarlison to be prevented from featuring against Burnley on Monday. It is felt Brazil showed leniency in that specific case as Everton allowed Richarlison to play at the Olympic Games when the regulations did not force them to.

    The move also affects three Liverpool players, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and Alisson; Manchester City pair Ederson and Gabriel Jesus; and Leeds forward Raphinha, who had been called into the Brazil squad for the first time.

    It means eight Premier League clubs will be denied players this weekend after previous moves from the Mexico, Paraguay and Chile football federations to stop Raul Jimenez, Miguel Almiron and Francisco Sierralta from playing this weekend.

    I’ve seen nothing about City’s international call ups for next week. Do we have none? Seri? Allahyar?

    I'm assuming for the Army, rather than the national football team.

    All you need to know as four Hull City players are set to feature for their countries over the international break.

    Dimitrios Pelkas, Thimothée Lo-Tutala, Sincere Hall and Harry Vaughan have been called up to represent their respective countries.

    Pelkas will be looking to add to his 29 caps for Greece as Gus Poyet’s men face Gibraltar and Lithuania. The latter is a friendly fixture while the Gibraltar test is a Group B UEFA Euro Qualifiers fixture.

    Lo-Tutala will be competing with AS Monaco goalkeeper Yann Lienard as France Under-20s have three games away in Marbella, facing USA, Netherlands and England.

    It is Hall’s first inclusion in the Bermuda senior side after previously representing them three times at Under-20s level. Bermuda have two Group B fixtures against Guyana and Haiti in their Concacaf Nations League Qualifiers.

    January signing Vaughan has already earned five caps for Republic of Ireland Under-19s and will be aiming to make more as Ireland face three UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifiers in Wexford.
