Nairaland Putin puppets will wail and cry their eyes out.

No be small thing On!

many head slammers will not like this

I stand with Russia and Russians







Puttin is doing what is right

That’s if there will be World Cup at all. Don’t let Putin put the World Cup in danger

There's nothing like peace. Putin should please reconsider

With all these many sanctions, seems tge war is not coming to an end soon

Anything to stop this tyrant from becoming another Adolf Hitler

We will not agree. We shall protest.

Nah wah oooo

Should not have done that.Politics and sports don't mix well

If FIFIA wants to kick out Russia, it should kick out

USA for invading Afghansitan and Iraq
Israel for invading Palestine
Palestine for backing anti-Israel terrorists
Iran for invading Iraq, and interfering with Yemen
Saudi Arabia for invading Yemen
UAE for invading Yemen
Tanzania for invading Uganda, and vice versa.
Libya for invading Chad
NATO countries for bombing Libya
Russia for bombing and invading Chechnya
NATO for bombing Serbia
Serbia for atrocities in Kosovo

The list can go on and on....

By the way, why didn't FIFA ban Russia for invading Afginaistan in 1979? Infact in 1986, Russia was participating in the world cup while occupying Afghanistan

Good one!

FIFA is also operating as a double standard organisation. What was their moves when USA invaded Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. Were they blind then?

Hehehe.

They are already playing their own world cup with Ukraine, they don't need another one.
