God won't allow a 3rd world war amen

When it was even stated in the bible that during the last days there will be war and rumours of war.

The report says their officials won't be going to Russia so I'm guessing the team will still be there

All this countries tryna form tough when in reality they can't stand the wrath of kremlin

Diplomatic boycott does not mean the team will not play, but the country govt officials, wont be represented, just like England has indicated

I hope England will boycott the world cup too. Why Iceland and not England. Why??

May Italy take their place.....1994 revenge mission on my mind

the boycott has nothing to do with the sporting activities.

Which surreal last days... "Generations come generations go but the earth remains forever" (Ecclesiastes 1 v 5)

You just remind me of one of my saddest moment in life. God will not forgive Roberto Baggio

There are indications that the presence of Iceland national team at the June 2018 FIFA World Cup may be marred with the latest diplomatic development between the country and Russia.
This development came as Iceland on Monday announced it would stage a diplomatic boycott of the 2018 World Cup in Russia over the poisoning of a former double agent in Britain.
“Icelandic officials will not go to the FIFA World Cup in Russia this summer,” a statement from the foreign ministry read.
The EU member states have said it was highly likely Russia was responsible for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia on March 4.
They also ordered the recall of the bloc’s ambassador to Moscow. Iceland is in Group D alongside Nigeria, Argentina and Croatia.
“Among the measures taken by Iceland is the temporary postponement of all high-level bilateral dialogue with Russian authorities. Consequently, Icelandic leaders will not attend the FIFA World Cup in Russia this summer,” a ministry statement said.
On Monday, British Prime Minister Theresa May said that more than 130 people may have been exposed to a nerve agent believed to have been used to poison ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the English city of Salisbury on March 4.
May, welcoming the show of solidarity, said 18 countries had announced plans to expel Russian officials. Those included 14 European Union countries. In total, 100 Russian diplomats were being removed, the biggest Western expulsion of Russian diplomats since the height of the Cold War.
Russia has repeatedly denied responsibility for the nerve agent attack.
“So far, Russia’s response has been severely lacking,” the Icelandic Foreign Ministry statement said. “Russia must provide credible explanations on how a nerve agent originally produced in Soviet laboratories came to be used to attack civilians in the United Kingdom.”

Many nairalanders have problem with comprehension,some don't even bother to read before they comment.Take a look at those guys above you.

The post clearly states that the government officials,not the football team, will boycott the world cup. I do not understand how this translates to the national team boycotting the world cup

Ayam not afraid of any team.

pawesome:
of all d countries wey u want to play naija you choose Italy......bros why?

Iceland.....una beta come o...cz na only una we fit beat

Our youths of these days are not serious! You can't read what's written before commenting, more pressing than the world cup is the current world diplomatic rows gearing towards the third world cup!

Why are we such bunch of Educated illiterates. Read and understand the story before commenting. It says government delegations will not go to Russia but the football team will be there.All this comments shows how damaged our Educational system is.

tgmservice:

sometimes i question this seun intelligence

Bro...you got no chill!

England is also considering boycott

Read the story again, it says Iceland officials not players. it means the political office holders may boycott the World Cup, does anyone care about the absence of politicians?

myboy2111:

It does not mean but it can cause the team to withdraw and damn FIFA sanctions even though I doubt Iceland would want to withdraw from their first ever World Cup.

BlacSmit:

shortgun:

Which 3 points? Iceland where beat England for Europe cup? You think say Iceland na walk over Infact Nigeria no ga scale through the group stages!!!

martineverest:

If the nerve agent pain England reach so make them withdraw from world cup. Hypocrites.

what is icelands own with whats happening between the UK and Russia. At this rate, there might be no world cup if other nations do likewise. Argentina pulling out would have been a more welcomed news.

Keep your dirty politics out of our beautiful game.
