Quote:
French Guiana made the unusual decision of starting Florent Malouda in their Gold Cup clash against Honduras on Tuesday, despite CONCACAF previously ruling the 37-year-old ineligible for the competition.
The ex-Chelsea star, who won 80 caps for France and played in the 2006 World Cup final, was born in the overseas French territory but is cap-tied to Les Bleus.
Because they are a member of CONCACAF but not FIFA, Malouda has previously been able to represent French Guiana -- he helped them win bronze at the Caribbean Cup in June.
