Do FIFA have sponsorship with Gazprom ?

I would suggest that the ‘hospitality’ that some of their officials received at the last World Cup was ‘top notch’ and that the KGB has much of it on film should any of them decide not to prioritise Russia’s best interests in the future.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

That’s a ‘bye’ into the World Cup finals for them as I can’t see the likes of Poland agreeing to play the “Football Union of Russia”.

Completely predictable from FIFA.

Meanwhile

Kenya and Zimbabwe have both been banned from world football by Fifa because of governmental interference in the running of the game.

BREAKING: FIFA bans international competitions in Russia, players to participate under the name "Football Union of Russia"

Like Putin, FIFA know teams wont do anything drastic like pulling out of WC

More fudge than the average Cornish gift shop

that has to be true

Simples.

No-one turns up at any game vs. Russia.

They win by default and no-one gives a Sh1t.

See how RT Spins that...

We’d be in Kim Jong Il “every hole was a hole in one” territory pretty quick

Get off your high horse.

You see the ‘political’ in everything. I’m sick of your self righteous hollier than thou posts. You are one of the least helpful posters on here.

I’ve not pre judged anything, I was commenting on the Government’s position NOW. Not tomorrow or ‘soon’. Why is that so difficult to get your head around. Jesus.

Give your head a wobble FFS.

I see you are just randomly lashing out at anybody so won’t hold it against you. Just put me on ignore and relax. Big week ahead.

Christ on a bike - 'You won't play Russia? We hear you... let's change their name. Brilliant. Job done.' That's an insult.

BAN THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL TEAMS FROM ALL INTERNATIONAL SPORTS - FOR F$$KS SAKE - IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.

Both UEFA & FIFA

Coincidental I'm sure as both organisations are total strangers to corruption.

They’re being shown up on morality by Formula One. Formula One for heaven’s sake!

Poland and Sweden issue statements immediately saying they will not play Russia under any name / identity

Kind of - they still have a Russian driver

 

[dangull]

When the Soviet Union broke up the West and NATO had won, I don't understand why their was a need for eastern expansion of it on Russia's door step afterwards.
Now you see why this conflict has come about. Maybe more effort should have been given to to put Russia in the family of nations, and also reduce the nuclear arms from both sides.

Not for long. He’s there because of the sponsorship deal … which they’ve cancelled. Added to that he’s a hopeless F1 driver.

How divorced from reality are the people who run FIFA & UEFA - read the room. Jesus wept. The hiding behind 'sport is not political' is a bag o' s$$te - RUSSIA INVADED IT'S NEIGHBOUR - lucky Ukraine aren't in the world cup play-offs. That would be awkward. Giving the Russian regime the world cup and then awarding it to Qatar? And now this s£$t?? There's not enough expletives in the world.

The EU has agreed unanimously amongst all member countries to take in Ukrainian refugees for up to three years without asking them to first apply for asylum, the German interior minister says.

I agree with you on much of that. However the invasion of a liberal democracy can't be excused in 2022 by cold war bad blood. That's history.

I’m lashing out at the poster who called me a liar despite posting a tweet with a link to home office advice that says the opposite.

Your post was just the ‘Belarus’ to his ‘Russian’ **** up. There are a number of posters, who normally support the government, assuming that we’ve given all Ukrainian refugees unconditional access to this country. There is still a visa system in place for them unless they have relatives in Britain of course.

You accused me of pre-judging the government because I asked ‘when’ they would drop all visa requirements for Ukrainian refugees as you’d clearly not read my post and entered the debate with the usual ‘that must be political, I’ll play devils advocate’ routine.

You were wrong, grow a pair and admit rather than try and patronise me, you’re better than that.

Not the UK though eh... but y'know you can apply using the fruit picker visa. Anyway I'm off, I'm keyboard ranting.
