Guest Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 According to the news here, Mauricio Soria tried to call up a player on Montpelier with Spanish and French nationality. Football Manager apparently had him listed as a Bolivian/French. However, his father was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, not Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The call came to a surprise for Ruben Aguilar. @HoneyNUFC type of news. This is genuinely superb though they really are the worst run federation in South America. Have to feel bad for any Bolivian.

Bolivia looked at football manager and tried to call him up because they got the information wrong.

Judging on patterns though, the Bolivian federation have been a bunch of fuck ups for a while. Obviously gifted 3 points by default vs Peru and Chile and nearly did it a second time!

The Palace Fan 3,034 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 From my understanding he has Bolivian citizenship of three years but Fifa regulations require citizenship of five years to play for a country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Nelson Cabrera mate, the one who got Bolivia's points taken away Ruben Aguilar received the call up and told them he is 0% Bolivian and his father is from the Spanish Santa Cruz, not the Bolivian.

RandoEFC 6,925 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 If Football Manager says he's born in Bolivia and the internet says he's born in Spain I know who I believe based on the relative reliability of their sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
