FIFA - Even though Qatar cheated, they still get to advance
FIFA has denied Iraq's appeal to disqualify Qatar from World Cup Qualifying even though it admits
Qatar did not play by the rules.
This Sunday saw Qatar beat Iraq 1-0 to advance to the final round of Asian WCQ, however one of
their players was not eligible to play for Qatar.
Marcio Passos De Albuquerque, know as Emerson, was born in Brazil and represented Brazil at youth
level, thus he was ineligible.
