FIFA would drop Poland, Sweden and Czechia in a heartbeat if they have to.  

 

Obviously their only concern is to not lose teams like England, Spain, France, Germany.

It’s been reported that the English FA are to tell FIFA to expel Russia. And there is growing demand for England tk withdraw from the world cup if Russia is there.

To be clear, if I had any decision power on this I would: 

 

1. Not allow Russia to host this play-off, for security reasons. 

 

2. Allow participation of Russian team since their coaching staff and players have not done anything wrong.  

 

3. Deny the russian football federation the prize money from WC participation (should they qualify) until their government ceases hostilities.

Nobody would play the Russian team. Except Belarus. Not even the countries who are somewhat supportive of Russia would do it.

Btw these countries are maybe right to refuse to play Russia anywhere but do they have no problems with playing Saudi Arabia should they qualify to Qatar? 

 

Yemen doesn't matter I guess :dunno:

Well they set their bar even allowing Qatar to host. But agree with your point: this is Western bias, when we all know the whole Saudi family is one of the biggest terrorist/criminal cartels in the World.

Yemen supported Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War. Nobody will give them even a toilet paper.

This really proves how double standard are many people here with all due respect, what do Yemeni people deal with their Regine decisions , I quit this forum where nationalities decide your human rights,  I'm really sick of your double standards and hatred against American black, Asians, Russians, Chinese, Muslims , etc goodbye and thanks for memories

Are you serious?  

  

  

With this criteria we shouldn't give "even a toilet paper" to a lot of countries due to a multitude of conflicts from the past.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
