History for Saltori

I see Solomon Islands fielded more than 1 overage player in the U16 OFC (U17 WC qualifiers) in 2018.

I get where SIFF are coming from with their line of "hey, not our fault, they had the passports, why should the rest of the players miss their opportunity because of 2 bad eggs", but at the end of the day it's actually other (Tahiti, New Caledonia etc) kids missing out on their opportunity because of a few cheats.

The only power OFC (and FIFA) have to stop it is to ban the country. The SIFF can then go back to their govt and demand they conglomerate their feces or risk the ire of a football mad population. Otherwise they'll keep flouting the rules.

SI were extremely fortunate to have been allowed to Brazil 2019, a tournament that 2 age-cheating African countries were banned from.
