The wait from the ministers is difficult and the lack of response says everything about how they view the integrity of this match. I am exhausted by the bureaucratic avoidance but I refuse to let them ignore the basic principle that a game should be played on the pitch rather than decided by immigration policy.

FIFA rules say the host country cant choose the other teams players. This is just plain wrong.
Give the guy his visa. We want a fair match, not a walkover because of some red tape.
Let him in!! Football is for everyone.
Keep politics out of sport. Let the man play.
Ridiculous decision. Let them play. The game should be decided on the pitch not in an office.

So ridiculous that the govt is blocking a keeper from playing. It should be based on skill not who has a visa.
