Tonights Internationals

Tunisia have questioned the eligibility of two Cameroon players after being beaten 4-1 in their World Cup play-off.

The Tunisians lodged a complaint with Fifa questioning whether Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting and Joël Matip had the right nationality requirements to play for Cameroon, according to the BBC.

Both are German-born. Choupo-Moting plays for Mainz as a striker while Matip is a centre-half with Schalke 04 and has a German mother and a Cameroonian father, Jean Matip, who also played for his country.

Tunisia's complaint comes despite both having played at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Cameroon's team manager Rigobert Song was asked to sign the formal complaint after Sunday's match as a witness. The win in Yaoundé followed a goalless first leg and ensured the Indomitable Lions qualified for the finals in Brazil.

Tunisia had made the play-offs when Fifa disqualified Cape Verde for fielding an ineligible player against them in their group game in September.

The governing body ruled that Fernando Verela should not have played in his side's 2-0 win as he had not completed a suspension.




I didn't know that Song is manager if Cameroon.

Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting

Something about Ronaldo which gets him ahead of Messi for me. His overall variety of goals is just unmatchable. His work rate is underrated by those who don't watch him as well. Messi's ability with the ball is out of this world but if Liverpool somehow could just choose one, I'd have Ronaldo.

controversial and i could see why people would disagree but yup IMO you're right. His work rate going forward is insane, not a flat track bully either... big game player. His stats are just ridiculous.

Opposite when they're facing one another, just not in this context, doesn't make sense. I'm sure you didn't mean it.

No probs stalker

Sure each to their own

Sakho 2nd was an own goal. So eh... he didn't get a second

Messi is the better player and always will be.

Ronaldo is a class above everyone else though

It's very, very close though mate.

I can't stand the cunt (I don't think any of us can ) but Ronaldo's been the best player in the world in 2013. Aided by Messi's injuries but Ronaldo has been incredible.

[danperkins]

No doubt of his ability at all, just his methods. Massive cheat, massive cunt but obviously a massive player.

Can't stand the cunt, yet it has nothing to do with his Manc past amazingly enough.

Bambi sends France to the World Cup....fair play to him.

so basically he's you think he's a bit of a cunt

If he doesn't win the Ballon d'or this year then he never will. Messi has been struggling for fitness since that injury pretty much crippled him towards the end of last season. Still bagged a ton of goals mind!

True enough, big thing about Messi & Ronaldo is that neither are ever injured much. Only recently Messi seems to be picking up injuries.

But yeh if Ronaldo doesn't win it this year.. he should probably give up and move to a remote island somewhere.. seducing older women.
