Clegg thinks Russia should not host the World Cup..

[nicko31]

Knew it was coming, absolutely no chance of that from the FIFA crook

Better to just boycott it, Dutch first...

Whilst Blatter will stick to his guns over Qatar, there are much more complex issues regarding sponsors and sanctions with the 2018 Cup.

Whatever happens don't give it to us, save the humiliation. Perhaps they should give it to the Dutch some compo payment...

Clegg is an fool - just making political noise, absolutely no one will take any notice of him

All countries should send a message to Russia and FIFA. No World Cup in 2018. Agree with Clegg on this.

This with bellls on. The bloke is a complete tit who the Libs should have removed after being humiliated recently. He has done a lot of damage for the Liberal vote

They should give it to another European country, under certain conditions:

1. the country has never hosted the World Cup before
2. it must have glorious football traditions (like 3 Olympic and 2 World Cup medals for example)
3. it must be located in central Europe (optimum travelling distance for fans from all over Europe)
4. the choice of this country must really hurt Russian feelings

Can you think of a country that fulfills all of the above requirements?

It will be interesting to see if F1 boycotts Russia .. Perhaps if this happens then Fifa may do something

Me too 100%

 

[The Birdman]

And relocate the 2022 that's a must.

 

[Stat Brother]

We should organise a boycott of ALL nations with the exception of Bali.

Then at the very last minute renege on the deal and roll into Russia.

We'll be certain semi-finalist, which we could win if we draw Boratastan.
They'll be no shame in losing to Bali in the final, esp on penalties.

unusually he is right
but will never happen
