The Hun scumbag who tried to murder Deuce in 2010 was ineligible

The Burkina Faso Football Federation (FBF) has complained to Fifa over claims that Algeria used an ineligible player in the second leg of the World Cup play-off tie.

The FBF says Algerian defender Madjid Bougherra should have been suspended for two yellow cards in earlier games.

Bougherra scored the only goal in Algeria's 1-0 win that saw them qualify for Brazil on the away goals rule.

The federation has also complained about Senegalese referee Badara Diatta.

According to FBF president Sita Sangare, Bougherra picked up a yellow card during the group stage of qualifying against Mali and also went into the book during Burkina Faso's 3-2 win in the first leg of their play-off, which should have ruled him out of the second leg.

Sangare also argues that Diatta failed to play out the full four minutes of injury time, depriving them of the chance to score a late equaliser which could have qualified them for their first ever World Cup.

I'm still pissed at them for blatantly trying to frick us over by bunkering even though they knew a draw would eliminate them to.

It was a proverbial kamikaze act.

How do teams not know a player should be suspended?

Not to mention that his foul in the latest game that he received a yellow for should've been a straight red in the first place. Then he scored the goal a few minutes later.

ETA: If the results stay, I absolutely want to draw Algeria so we can frick 'em, and frick 'em hard.

Goes to show that Africa has the worst officials in the world. So nobody bothered to check the yellows when the lineups were released?

I don't really know where Burkina Faso is going with this. Bougherra kind of looks like Adlene Guedioura, so either Burkina Faso's representatives are racist or CAF officials are retarded.

ETA: Burkina Faso might be onto something. Looks like Guedioura came on at 72'. Says that he was cautioned at 65'.
