This is true I believe they can't ban our players from FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and obviously they can't ban our players from UEFA Euro 2004 qualifiers because.... we don't have to qualify!
They either ban those players still around at the 2004 tournament itself from finals matches in Portugal - which would be very unfair and very unlikely.
I think all they can do really is fine the FPF.
What I find most disappointing, with all the British journalists demanding hefty punishment for Portugal, I recall a couple of weeks ago when UEFA were threatening to throw England out of the tournament for their violent and racist fans, from the other teams, it was only Humberto Coelho who spoke out and said that England should not lose their place in the tournament.
Oldest Allies? One good turn deserves another? These British journalists seem to have forgotten.......
