O/T The shame of FIFA.

Poland, Sweden and Czechia have all said they will refuse to play them. So do FIFA kick them out and give Russia, but don't call them Russia, a bye? Ridiculous.

I know. The mind boggles that they think this is some sort of acceptable solution. Russia should now be treated like the South African apartheid state.

He's threatening the world with nukes FFS.

Utterly disgraceful from FIFA. No surprises there.

Should be completely banned from all sports and much, much more.

Deranged, aggressive, lunatic invading other countries and now making further threats.

Jan fjortoft has a great tweet saying FIFA should try telling the Ukrainian people they are being invaded by Russia under a different name.

Other nations should be threatening to withdraw from the World Cup. No doubt fifa will do a u-turn, but damage is done.

I see FIFA are now reviewing their original decision and will most likely ban Russia from all competitions until the current situation ends.

And so they should. Disgraceful from them.

Tbh I was expecting UEFA to fine Russia 3000 euros for failing to control their military.

How they thought their initial reaction was enough I'll never know

Common sense prevails at last...
