On second thought, these forfeits would be getting into murky waters of hypocrisy seeing as how Everton players also apparently went to the party. Wrt us & Fulham, Lucas & Vinicius has apparently been in Covid isolation because of close contact with Gabriel. So none of the 4 clubs involved here seeming have been all that tight with the covid rules. This is a tough situation. Forfeits are probably the right call scheduling wise here but I think significant individul punishments need to be handed down(fines + match bans) and clubs should be fined.If it is true, their postponement should be a forfeit. If its also true that multiple Fulham players also went causing there outbreak, that should be a forfeit as well. If all clubs are aware of the situation, i’d imagine this is one of the reasons we’re said to be fuming at Fulham & the league.
As for Sancho, thats up to BVB to punish but I do think Southgate shouldnt take him to the Euros. Does that hurt England’s chances? Sure. But this is a MUCH more serious matter and football is extremely trivial compared to this. It’s really life or death for yourself and everyone around daily. Flights to England were banned from a ton of European countries. Taking a private jet flouting these bans to attend a fucking party is a disgrace and needs to be dealt with harshly.
