    At this point you have to include the Monterrey duo in that discussion, right?

    Yeah, they're kind of new money though in terms of trophies. They are the two most expensive teams in the league now, but not the history and fan support as the big 4

    They're for sure in that Man City category of keep spending till relevant but when talking about top Liga clubs I think they have to be included now.

    Hours before the game, Brazil is trying to deport or force the England based players, from Argentina, to quarantine

    These government officials could have done this at any time in the last 48 hours also, instead of waiting till the game starts to walk out on the field

    From what I'm reading and listening to, Argentina knew that these players had to quarantine for 14 days, but they spoke to CONMEBOL and they spoke to the CBF and secretly had an agreement to play without informing ANVISA, the health department of the Brazilian government

    I just mean it had such incredibly low odds of working that it is mind boggling to me that they were just like, “Fuck it, what are they gonna do, stop the match?”

    It doesn’t seem like they lied but thought they had an exception. I mean there’s no way you can lie about EPL players not being in the UK the past ten days when they played in matches.

    gabagool when did this rule go into effect? Willian was presented just a few days ago, after leaving Arsenal, with no quarantine

    Read somewhere that the players affirmatively declared they had NOT been in the UK in the past 14 days, which is laughable, of course.

    According to Anvisa they lied and said they were never in the UK in the last 14 days.

    Os jogadores em questão declararam não ter passagem por nenhum dos quatro países com restrições nos últimos 14 dias. Os viajantes chegaram ao Brasil em voo de Caracas/Venezuela com destino a Guarulhos. Contudo, notícias não oficiais chegaram à Anvisa dando conta de supostas declarações falsas prestadas por tais viajantes.
