It is surprising that there hasn't been a blanket ban on all cultural and sporting ties with Russia.
That would seem like a no brainer, there is no way for the Russian government to hide that from their public.

This won't hold but it shows you how gutless and rank these people are. This is a great time to pull the plug on Qatar, and if FiFA won't dump Russia let's quit the world cup and invite the Swedes, Poles Welsh everyone who has turned their back to play in the summer in a new world tournament
On top of what has already been done, the 2022 World Volleyball Championships, the 2023 World Championship in ice hockey and the 2023 World Student Games are all scheduled for Russia.
That lot should be moved elsewhere for starters.

If they were a legitimate government organization it would've happened years ago.
Final to be held at the best stadium in the world?This won't hold but it shows you how gutless and rank these people are.

Or there is a split and FIFA and hopefully UEFA are replacedIf this FIFA situation somehow causes the World Cup to not be played in Qatar, that would be a splendid outcome.
Link ?In other news, looks like Spartak Moscow are about to be kicked out of the Europa League.
Seems UEFA are showing more balls than FIFA.
