RSLFM Report
That link is to an analysis someone has done over a developing situation with the Liberian Football Association and Real Salt Lake over Willis Forko. Allegedly Salt Lake listed Forko as injured so he wouldn't get called up to the Liberian national team, but played him in the next two games. Liberia were eliminated from African Cup of Nations qualifiers after a scoreless draw with Guinea. According to FIFA rules, the team would have to forfeit it's results with Forko in it, though I believe they lost anyways, but this could get Salt Lake in a lot of trouble, stay tuned for further updates.

Weird, I was just reading about this guy...found it funny how he had half citizenship with a country that has political conflicts with the other. Hope this gets resolved and nothing happens to RSL.
Not very surprising or uncommon. "Injuries" on players when the national team is due up is, as weird as it may see, very common in Europe.
The pride of representing your country seem to vanish in soccer for each day.
