The bottom line is the same criteria for eligibility existed for decades
no one else was good enough to take advantage. 2 less World Cups? You
can't prove that just I can't prove that Italy would have won 6 World
Cups if Di Stefano and Platini had played for the country of their
fathers birth or Italy would have beaten Spain had Mathieu Flamini, who
as his surname suggests is of Italian parentage, had played in midfield
instead of Ambrosini. You're clutching at straws and double standards.


Or the great Enzo Scifo, whom Italy could certainly have used... Also
the players from Argentina and Uruguay who played for Italy in the
thirties had a problem: Argentina and Uruguay decided to boycott the
1934 and 1938 world cups because of football politics. Those players
could not have played in those WCs for the countries where they were
born.
