With respect to Oranje and Norway , Iversen (Rosenborg, ex-spurs) got hurt today and is now in doubt for the upcoming Scotland and Oranje games. He is a key player and will be a huge blow if he has to be pulled out. Also, the top talent, Tarik Elyounoussie who scored twice for Heerenveen today, was left out of the initial squad. As he is half Moroccan, and was born there, evidently their FA has approached him as it turns out that there is a little known new FIFA rule that came into effect this summer make it possible for someone who has only represented their country in a friendly to play for another country if eligible. Tarik has only played 1 game for the full NT and that was a recent friendly against Ireland…

So should Iversen not be able to go, expect Norway to call up Elyounoussie. Only problem, he is mighty pissed off for not being selected to the squad in the first place and might actually prefer Morocco…Don’t really blame him, at least he gets to play in a few tournaments if he joins them…
