LMAO The Anvisa (brazilian health agency) dudes tried to enter pitch. 

Idiots. They had 3 days to exclude those argentinian players that lied about being in England before arriving in Brazil. Now, they are making that silly show just to appear in front of the TV.

Covid related?

Yes. All people coming from the UK needs to quarantine for 14 days. Apparently, the 4 argentinian players that play in the Premier League didn't tell the authorities that they had been in England before.

I mean, fair enough. Rules are rules. We are missing all our players from the Premier League. 

But why wait until the match started? What's the point of it? Makes zero difference. Let them play and apply a fine. 

Brazilian bureaucracy at its finest. Stupid and absurd.

All this for people who pose virtually no threat to anybody. Worlds lost the fucking plot sadly.

They lied and broke the law. Say what you will, but at the end of the day, this is on Argentina if they lied and knowingly broke the law.

Yeah, by the letter of the law they have but it's just another sorry reflection on the worlds collective loss of the plot.

This incident pretty much encapsules Bolsonaro's government.

The federal government gave an exemption to the 4 argentinian players , a federal agency is not warned of it.

A chaotic and bizarre mess that is irresponsible for killing thousands of brazilians due to its complete inaptitude.

In normal circumstances, I would disagree with you, 100%. 

But reading @El Profesor - it appears they were told they were exempt, so if true, that's a bad look on Brazil.

Match called off? 

Yes. FIFA will decide what happens. 

There are no innocent parties in this mess, but to me, it all starts with Conmebol not canceling Copa America and trying to rush the WC qualifiers. 

Now, we have a mess of a schedule. Those matches should have been played in July.

🥴 Villa were already losing Martinez & Buendia for Chelsea (a) because letting them go to represent their country. While other Premier League sides have been making more noise about not releasing players to go to certain countries.

Seems Villa's loss has been for nothing.

And crazy that Brazil of all countries are now sticklers for Covid rules. Perhaps because its Argentina??

No, those rules were set because of the Delta variant. 

Anvisa is an entity that is part of the federal government, but they have some considerable level of autonomy.

What happened will eventually come out, but I think that Conmebol, FIFA, CBF and the federal government tried to make the match happen without consulting the agency. 

Perhaps this is part of a greater struggle between the Bolsonaro administration and Anvisa. 

In this case, I must say that Anvisa, despite not being 100% right in this specific case, as it is an institution that while not perfect, deserves the backing of brazilian citizens. They've done a lot of good work during the pandemic.
