The government has stopped AFA from holding elections, and AFA is mad. "The elections are suspended for 90 days and could be suspended for 90 days more," said AFA executive secretary Damian Dupiellet. "Two inspectors have been sent to carry out an internal review. This is clear interference in the life of the AFA."
And why did the government do that? Well, because AFA can't find money that they took from the government. That seems fair enough, but the government really isn't supposed to interfere in national FAs, and this could get Argentina in some trouble with FIFA. The likes of Nigeria, Cameroon, Kuwait and Indonesia have been suspended by soccer's governing body in the last five years for government interference into the sport.
In short, Argentina is threatening to pull out of the fraud tournament because they're very mad about someone trying to find out if they committed even more fraud. Isn't international soccer great?
The FA is holding a vote on Tuesday regarding whether or not they'll ask the national team to leave the United States.
