and if they did that, they wouldn't be allowed in any more world cups for years.
They grant citizenship to anybody who provides "outstanding service to the state over a number of years" so yeah they can give neutralized citizenship to anybody they like..
I hope FIFA have rule against it. However, if they stay there the normal amount of time required to gain nationality FIFA can do nothing about it. Senna and Caucau for example.
*rolls eyes*
You realize not everyone in Qatar has to have an arabic name right? Not everyone in Qatar are solely of Qatari nationality.
I could show you a million examples of someone with a "foreign" name who isn't foreign at all. and the fact of the matter is, the name makes no difference on nationality, so no he has no point.
Well mate he was not born in Qatar but Brazil, and yes we know not everyone in a country are solely of that nationaly there is a word for this "Immagrant".

Ergh stop being so argumentative. What I mean is most people with Qatari citizenship would have Arabic names, not that everybody in the whole country would have one. Hence why those that do not have Arabic names are 99% of the time going to be immigrants.
Surely it's not that hard to understand.
Does it even matter?
Immagrant? lol
The point of him going to Qatar and being given nationality lends credibility to the theory that Qatar may do this for the world cup.
His name has nothing to do with it though (which is what you posted). What if there are brazilians in qatar who gave their son a traditional brazilian name, would he be any less Qatari? No.
What is wrong wrong with you he is born in Brazil that is my point. Im not saying anything about Brazilians born in Qatar
The process of people pigeon holing others based on their name does matter to me. It's simply ignorant. The guy in question is qatari with a brazilian name, why even mention it when the fact is he is qatari and has earned his citizenship regardless of his name or immigrant origin.
Do you even understand what we are talking about? All we said was his name doesn't sound Arabic, it sounds Brazilian, and oh what a surprise, he is Brazilian. Just like the African players that play for Qatar, they are surprisingly African. It's not ignorant it's just logical, the fact you feel the need to argue about it, saying it is ignorant and pigeon holing just seems as if you are looking for a fight, utterly pointless.
I know his name doesn't have to sound Arabic, but the fact that every player in the Qatar national team that doesn't have an Arabic name is in fact foreign, kind of proves a point!
yay, another mental midget.
There was no point, which is why I questioned it with "wtf are you on about"
Why even bring up his Brazilian name if it makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE regarding nationality?
Are you on pace yet?
The irony of the matter is that you technically agree with me *facepalm*
The original point was that Qatar can give citizenship to whoever they want, proven by the numerous players in their team, including this Brazilian guy, who have different nationalities but Qatari citizenship.
The only reason you would do this is for the money, and pep isnt a money grabber
Yeah, as if he'd do that...
Barca: Win shed-loads of trophies with minimal effort.
Qatar: Win.. the dressing room raffle?
Seriously, anybody would be tempted by the money offered, but I'm sure it'll damage his reputation if he joined and won **** all.
well He is hardly a good coach, any average manager can take a team with Messi,Xavi,Iniesta and Villa to trophies
