Say, if Russia backs down from their Ukraine intrusion within the next 10 days would these teams revert their decision? Or have they decided to not play Russia permanently or until Putin is removed or what?

Hard to see teams  u turning that quick but if President Zelinsky says things are at peace then maybe teams would Consider it later in the year. Not in time for the playoffs.

Do you realy think he will back down ? he is just sending a 5 km convoy of tanks to Kyiv right now + was already openly talking about nuclear weapons threats.

 

This nightmare is not going to end well, even if he´ll "succeed" with Ukraine.

 

The world has changed last Thursday, for many, czechs included the sport is not priority anymore, playing russia is just unimaginable for them (and not only for them) if you ask me.

It’s very unlikely. But I suppose FIFA have to work on possibilities.

 

‘Swedish FA president Karl-Erik Nilsson told Fotbollskanalen they were "not satisfied" with Fifa's decision.

He said: "Our opinion is not different today and the situation has not changed in Ukraine just because we have received the message from Fifa, so we have no other opinion today.

"We also want to talk to Poland and the Czech Republic so that we can give back to Fifa what we think, but we had expected a sharper stance from Fifa. We would have done so." ‘

FIFA would simply cancel the World Cup.

Ah fuck no, we are going to get "World Cup is likely to be cancelled" the whole year now, aren't we? Damn Putin, I thought we were done with this now that Tokyo and Beijing Olympics were over

The football Association of Wales has also confirmed it will not play Russia for foreseeable future.

FIFA made it official. Poland gets a bye into the playoffs final where they play the winner of Sweden vs Czech Republic

Swedish Football Federation is not happy about this decision. 

 

But it’s a strange situation. Whatever decision FIFA takes it will be always be complaining about it.
