Article seven is crystal clear: Article 7. All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination. http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/ I think FIFA should legislate immediately to bring the game under the law. All players should be allowed to play with their hands or the GKs should be banned of doing so. Juan Vazquez

The laws of the game do not prohibit a player who has played as goalkeeper in the first half of a game from pulling on a normal jersey and playing in the second half in a nonGK position (subject to limits on subs of course). I have seen Jorge Campos do this.

I have seen Jorge Campos do this. Last time Mexico tried to do this with Campos, FIFA violated their very own Laws of the Game and forbid Campos to play as forward. Can't remember which WC. JV
