Should be rules in place about international call ups (maybe there are but im anti-internationals so cant be bothered looking). 

 

Nepo should have been allowed to play Monday - it shouldn't be possible for a country to dictate if a player can play or not. Providing he can arrive at a pre-specified time it should be up to us and the player.

 

As for iverson - countries should not be able to call up 3 days before a game. Where is the cutoff point?

Release of players for national association representative matches in
accordance with the Coordinated International Match Calendar
(Contrary to the Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players, Art. 36 Para. 2, which will be modified in accordance
with the decision reached by the FIFA Executive Committee.)
a) Qualifying matches for an international competition played on fixed/set dates
These matches take priority over matches in a national championship. In other words, matches
in the national championship or cup competition should not be arranged on one of the fixed/set
dates.
A club holding the registration of a player called up to play in the national team must release
him to the national association on the fixed/set dates for international matches in each calendar
year (see enclosure “Coordinated International Match Calendar 2002 – 2004”).
The player shall also be released for the period of preparation. If the player is called up to play
in a qualifying match for an international competition, this period shall be 4 days (including the
day of the match). The period of release shall be prolonged to 5 days if the match in question is
held on a different continent to that on which the club is domiciled (Paragraph 5b).
b) Friendly matches on fixed/set dates
These matches take priority over matches in a national championship. In other words, matches
in the national championship or cup competition should not be arranged on one of the fixed/set
dates.
A club holding the registration of a player called up to play in the national team must release
him to the national association on the fixed/set dates for international matches in each calendar
year (see enclosure “Coordinated International Match Calendar 2002 – 2004”). The matches
may be qualifying matches as defined under Art. 36 Paragraph 2a), or friendly matches.
The player shall also be released for the period of preparation. For a friendly match, this period
shall be 48 hours (Paragraph 5a).
c) Qualifying matches for an international competition on a fixed/set date for friendly matches
In certain circumstances (force majeure, schedule problems etc), it may be necessary to play a
qualifying match for an international competition on a date initially fixed/set for friendly
matches. In this event, if a player is called up, he must be released to the national association
as under section a) above, in accordance with Art. 36 Paragraph 2a). The period of release,
however, shall only be 48 hours (Paragraph 5a).

International calendar runs from 12th to the 20th. So Curaçao were unfortunately within their rights to call up Gevaro, and Denmark are within their rights to say Iversen can't play. 

 

Technically Denmark could have stopped Iversen playing on Monday. 

 

However, if we had played Friday to Sunday then it wouldn't have been an issue. As was widely circulated it was the furthest anyone had to travel in the first round. But was played on the Monday? 

 

Of the TV games, only Portsmouth aren't playing this weekend, but that's because of Charlton's call-ups not theirs. 

 

I wonder if a word with the FA would be beneficial. As they could easily have played our game in one of the other TV slots. 

 

Eventually "The best Cup Competition in the World" will be devalued even more.
