As usual whenever there are National Team matches, the famous and dreade "FIFA Virus" has appeared. What happens is that this is a "virus" invented to do bussiness and, like most diseases, is curable.
Let me explain. If this or that team has to do a lot of kilometers and hours by plane to play a friendly match at the other side of the planet, it is clear that the fault is not FIFA. The fault lies on those who have decided to play this game and have signed the relevant agreements and, if a player is injured, the "blame" is the opponent that made the tackle or, a bad warm-up or any other thing, but not FIFA.
I'll continue to explain. Neither Mr. Blatter and the FIFA Executive Commitee have decided which days there are National Team matches. It has been decided by the General Assembly, that has 208 members and each member has their own organization. Therefore, we must ask each National Federation which is their point of view about the topic. Apparently, for most of the Federations it goes well as it is, because if not, they would have changed it. Let's think about it before criticizing without knowing why things happen, moreover, quite common in football, where decisions and sanctions (or no sanctions), are criticized without knowing the Regulations.
By the way, talking about Regulations, in any part of the LOTG it is said that having the hand separated of the body is a fault. It's a only a fault if the ball is played with the hand in a deliberate manner. Nothing more. Second: a player is booked only if he prevents an opponent the possession of the ball or, if he prevents to score a goal. The other day I heard a commentator saying that "if the referee considered that a handball was volunteer, he had to book the player". What I have not clear is if he was lying or he had no idea (I think the latter).
