Because he has refused (as he has retired) he is breaking FIFA rules and could be banned from playing for Bayern Munich.

What a load of baloney. In France, it's not your decision whether you retire?

afaik the same thing happened a few years ago with makalele when he was at Chelsea and the French coach picked him

seems a bit weird that you would want to play someone who isn't interested in being there

Is anybody going to bother watching? Have we ever had a qualifier on a Mondat night before?

I hate the international break now Bournemouth are in the Championship!

I'll watch, well the second half. Yeah, Monday night qualifiers are odd. Breaks the week up, I suppose.

i'm sure they said last week that qualifying games will be held on 6 different nights of the week during the campaign as UEFA try to spread games out to maximise TV revenue
