OFFICIAL: Brazil vs Argentina is suspended
The two South American rivals kicked off at the Corinthians Arena, but the match was just minutes old, before Brazilian health authorities walked onto the pitch to demand a postponement.
Their objection refers to controversy surrounding Covid-19 quarantine rules for four Argentina players based in England.
Premier League quartet Emiliano Buendia, Emiliano Martinez, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero have reportedly been told they need to quarantine upon arrival in Brazil.
The former three players all started for Lionel Scaloni’s side with Lionel Messi leading the Argentina players off the pitch amid a pitchside melee.
Updates are expected from match officials in the coming hour with officials in Brazil claiming the Argentina players involved could face arrest for breaking Covid-19 laws.
Argentina have disputed the claim stating the warning was given shortly before kick off with no specific guidance on the necessary steps to take.
CONMEBOL Statement: "By decision of the match referee, the match organized by FIFA between Brazil and Argentina for the World Cup Qualifiers is suspended."
"The referee and the match commissioner will submit a report to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee, which will determine the steps to be followed. These procedures strictly adhere to current regulations."
"The World Cup Qualifiers is a FIFA competition. All decisions concerning its organization and development are the exclusive power of that institution."

The amount of stupid comments. Literally every top comment is people who did no research. They lied and lied and lied to the authorities. They were stopped several times and lied to the officials as they would not play. They weren't supposed to leave the hotel which is what they claimed they would do. Not to mention they locked themselves inside the locker room and refused to listen to the authorities authorities went along to the field. Should it have been better handled? Sure, did they lie? 100% 5 World Cups kiddos! We are afraid of nobody! Say Germany, Say Messi, Say whatever you want. 5 times baby! No other nation will ever get close to the amount of talent we bring every single year! You have 1 player every 50 years, we have 2 every decade! Messi is amazing but the biggest cry baby in football. He is getting old and a little cry baby!

So what's the gain? Brazil health officials waited for the match to begin before they act... That's stupid! You had 3 days to get it done but you didn't...
