Good. That will show Putin. I bet he withdraws his troops immediately now.

But on a serious note. They should be kicked out. frick Russia

“Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so to create threats for our country, for our people should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead to such consequences that you have never experienced in your history,” Putin said. “We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made.”


Look out, FIFA. Hell fire about to come down!

I know people are mocking this, and I’m sure Putin doesn’t give a shite, but this is the kind of thing that starts to stack up in the popular attention of the average person. And when the average person starts paying attention to the negatives of the conflict, that’s when governments have to be careful that the tide doesn’t turn on them.

So they are screwing over Russian soccer players now?

The players had zero to do with what’s going on.

That’s like someone in the US threatening some Russian themed food joint here in the United States over what’s going on.

mock all you want ... but the average Russian likely cares a great deal about the national success of the country's football team, especially in the World Cup.

Something like this could certainly help turn the tide of public opinion.

I mean that Qatar bribed the officials to get the WC. Which I think was proven in court IIRC

I'm sure the Russian Soccer Committee will compete well in the World Cup.

Seriously... we are trying to cancel culture Russia? First, we won't sell any Russian vodka, now Russia can't play soccer... Next, Disney will remove Russia from the It's a Small World ride?



I think we need a 'bad guy' Russia to oppose the USA (good guys), I think the world has taken the US for granted since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Sensing democratized voices of many (salute to tech and globalization linking us tighter then ever) will have greater influence on geo-political power centers than ever before. Interesting to watch.

Put it in terms they understand.

Your fav SEC team has just been booted from the SEC

Your beer pong table has been confiscated

Your FWB most game nights just gave you crabs
