how do you miss stuff like this? only in africa.
Fifa has disqualified Cape Verde Islands from the African qualifying play-offs for the 2014 World Cup for fielding an ineligible player in a decisive qualifying match, and reinstated Tunisia.
Fifa says its disciplinary committee decided that Fernando Varela should have been serving a suspension. Tunisia, who will now enter the play-off draw on Monday, complained to the world game's ruling body.
And Cape Verde only finished 1st in their group after being awarded 3-0 wins over Eq. Guinea in 2 matches that they had originally split.
