Playing in a tournament participated in by football club (whether amateur or semi-professional or professional) is ALSO a privilege. It is NOT a right. All football tournaments are sanctioned by a lone federation governing football in a country, by itself or through its member association. If it is not sanctioned, it is not association football. UFL is sanctioned by NCRFA which is a member of the federation. Pulling out of a national team where one is the team captain is worse than bribery or selling drugs for which one can be banned from playing football for life. A player who is disciplined for bribery is not sent to prison, he is merely deprived of the privilege to play the game. In other words, the focus is on the sporting character, conduct and discipline of a player. The issue is not whether the guilty player's action is illegal under the system of laws prevailing in a country. Hartmann can of course play other sports. Hartmann can also appeal his case all the way to FIFA and Court of Arbitration in Sports. See what will be the ultimate verdict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-37123144919007178472012-02-02T15:17:01.037+01:002012-02-02T15:17:01.037+01:00Playing for a national team is a great priviledge....Playing for a national team is a great priviledge. He should never pull on a national team shirt again. Playing club soccer is a right and you cannot take it away unless he had done something illegal or corrupt. You don't hand out the same penalty for Hartmann's actions as you would for somebody taking bribes, selling drugs, or other illegal behavior. I'm not defending him but in criminal law, you don't treat a thief the same way you treat a murderer. If it is appealed to FIFA the suspension will be overturned and the PFF will look stupid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-29590031227197990932012-02-02T02:55:37.366+01:002012-02-02T02:55:37.366+01:00he can play in Vietnam. after all, he gave them a ...he can play in Vietnam. after all, he gave them a favor, right? heheheheheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-23561762030238354472012-02-01T14:57:39.142+01:002012-02-01T14:57:39.142+01:00Hartmann had it coming.

A team captain abandoning his team after playing two lost games because he has issues with the coach shows utter lack of discipline and displays lack of respect to the country which he and his team represents. It was a National Team, for God's sake, thus he was playing for flag and country. If he were an ordinary team member maybe the penalty was a bit harsh. He deserves it now though. If years later he shows remorse, then maybe, just maybe, the period of his suspension can be reduced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-46031455916323838752012-02-01T11:14:54.606+01:002012-02-01T11:14:54.606+01:00Hartmann shouldn't have shown such an attitude...Hartmann shouldn't have shown such an attitude if he did not want this to happen to himself!

So far, he hasn't even been able to show his worth in the international setting that will merit his "star" status. His stint in the SEA Games was such a disappointment, to say the least. It's within PFF's right to keep its members in line and to impose sanctions to those who misbehave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558039822687564906.post-76366492562460572232012-02-01T06:18:23.396+01:002012-02-01T06:18:23.396+01:00No this was a bad immature decision.

Every FIFA member would have to honor the suspension so this would be a world ban.
