Russian world cup should FIFA take it away?

Doc Lynam · Jul 22, 2014

Should the next world cup be taken off Russia immediately? Shirely Blatter can't allow them to host it; and by confirming it now it allows the new host country to prepare.

The only way FIFA can retain even a shred of credibility would be to change the hosts of the next two World Cups.

Doubt very much they will however.

It should be, but I doubt it will be.

Leave it for a year then only a country with competition ready stadia will be able to step in.

Did FIFA or the Olympic committee impose any sanctions on the USA when they shot down the Iranian airliner?

Was America trying to invade one of Europes countries by proxy at the time?

Is that the reason for the suggested removal of the games? I assumed it was the shooting down of a civilian airliner?
Im fairly sure the USA is been involved in military actions during many of the last 30 years of sporting events.

Nothing will happen. No point in wasting your time. Too much money involved.

To be honest i class both actions as large enough!

Brings up an interesting issue about sponsorship actually, particularly if relevant sanctions are in place at the time.

Why on EARTH would they?

Bent countries and bent multinationals are happy bedfellows,

Russia and FIFA are made for each other - all ****s of the highest order.

No, because they will BOMB us

What exactly have they done in a sporting sense to have it taken away?

If you start bringing politics into it it becomes a dangerous game...

There have been at least two boycotted Olympics in Russia 1980 & USA 1984.

The World Cup should be taken away from FIFA.

Then let people show their disgust by boycotting it. Not that that will ever happen in this money-obsessed day and age
