Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
There at least is a good reason for that. The alternative is the Asian confederation. Might get a bit tasty if they were drawn, say, an Iranian team.martin_p wrote:And Israeli teams play in the european competitions.

Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
Copa America have always traditionally invited 2 non-South American sides to enter the tournament so this is not new info.
In past tournaments Australia, Costa Rica, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Panama and United States have all entered. Mexico were even losing finalists on a couple of occasions.
Would only have taken a simple Wikipedia search to find this out.

They were in the Asian confederation but left for precisely this reason. The other members voted to ban Israel from AFC.

Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
Qatar are also the Asian champions
Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
Here's another question then on the Copa America which I couldn't find the answer to - why are they having another one next year? I think they also did the same in 2015 and 2016. It seems to be held pretty much at random.

Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
CONMEBOL voted to move the tournament so that it's played in 'even' years to coincide with the Euros. They'll be a four year gap after 2020.Foulthrow wrote:Here's another question then on the Copa America which I couldn't find the answer to - why are they having another one next year?

2016 tournament was a 'special edition' to celebrate the centenary of the Copa America.

Surely would have been more sensible to just give it a miss in 2019? Especially after having tournaments in 2015 and 16.Swizzlestick wrote:CONMEBOL voted to move the tournament so that it's played in 'even' years to coincide with the Euros. They'll be a four year gap after 2020.

Ignorance showing through again.
The AFC Cup 2019 was played in UAE in January and Qatar won through, beating the hosts along the way.
Due to the political issues between the two countries, barely any Qatar fans were able to even enter the UAE to support their side, but they won the thing anyway, beating Japan in the final.
Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
So you think that Michel Platini who was going to vote for the USA to stage the 2022 World Cup was not shall we say influenced after meeting with the Quataris
So influenced that he changed his vote to Qatar and the French President Sarkozy I think it was after meeting with the Quataris managed to secure a lucrative defence contract
And we are talking of a country that has appalling human rights records homophobia and such extreme heat so should no way have been given the 2022 World Cup to stage
You think money doesn't play a part in all of this?

Re: Qatar playing in the Copa America
What's that got anything to do with my response?
You said that Qatar were Asian champions 'without playing a game'
I pointed out that they won the tournament fair and square.
They beat heavyweight (by AFC standards) sides Saudi Arabia (2-0), Iran (1-0), South Korea (1-0) and Japan (3-1) along the way, as well as the host nation (4-0) in front of a partisan crowd. Were the refs paid off in every game?
