    tbh it’d rate their chances better if they just gave FIFA a big comical money bag with $$$ on the side of it and full of chocolate

    How about kicking Israel out of Israel, maybe there was a reason it was done the first time?

    Soccer is a sport. No country should be excluded based on politics including Russia.

      Why not? Why allow a country committing war crimes to participate on the global sports or entertainment stage like everything is normal?

      International sports events are INTERNATIONAL, if you play so far outside the rules as Israel is doing, you don’t deserve to participate in international events as a country.
      Of course by that standard we shouldn’t have participation from Russia and USA either.
