    So now what happens. Russia gaining a place by default means no World Cup. It’s as simple as that.
  2. Orangehair43
    Either Russia is banned or they won’t be a World Cup. The press has said no England at the World Cup if Russia is there. France, Germany and Spain will all decide the same. Will CAS want to be responsible for cancelling the World Cup? If they do then Fifa could well simply decide to ignore CAS knowing that most of the world would be behind them. Fifa might well decide moving from Switzerland is worth it if it means the World Cup is not cancelled.
  3. Orangehair43
    There has been demands for all of those.
  4. Orangehair43
    Those countries will rightly not u turn now. Cosmdeirng how unpopular FIFA is I really don’t think it’s worth it from them for the world to think they pro Russia at a time like this. If they not careful FIFA could lose many members permanently. But FIFA can always sink lower.
  5. Orangehair43
    That is looking quite possible. Through I am sure CAS are not crazy enough to risk their own abolition. And if they do order Fifa to make Russia appear at the World Cup they would be a good as doing that. CAS are already deeply unpopular.
  6. Orangehair43
    The majority of the world will withdraw from the World Cup if the Russians there. If CAS allow Russia to compete they as good as cancelling the World Cup.
  7. Orangehair43
    Nobody would play the Russian team. Except Belarus. Not even the countries who are somewhat supportive of Russia would do it.
  8. Orangehair43
    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.
  9. Orangehair43
    It’s a bit confusing but it sounds like CAS action is set to happen.
  10. Orangehair43
    Going to get very messy. There is speculation that Fifa believe that CAS will not allow any suspension of Russia.
  11. Orangehair43
    CAS have gotten involved in these decisions before. Depends on how the contracts for the tournaments have been drawn up. The Olympics has clauses preventing countries banning entry on nationality grounds. There is also the other issue that Russia could argue at CAS that ranking points are being denied on nationality grounds. It could get very messy if they push it and we all know Russia loves going to CAS.
  12. Orangehair43
    This is all going to end up at CAS.
  13. Orangehair43
    I suspect by Friday either Russia will have been expelled or other countries will withdraw in protest. Going to be a very bumpy week for the IPC.
  14. Orangehair43
    Watch Russia go to CAS to oppose this.
  15. Orangehair43
    Discussions about the future of Russian players on the tour.
  16. Orangehair43
    Poland will forfeit their match against Russia. They are writing to Sweden and Czech Republic to present a common position to Fifa. Surely Fifa can’t give Russia a bye. Unless they want other countries to withdraw from the World Cup in protest.
  17. Orangehair43
    Did Armenia call for Azerbaijan to be expelled?

    The IOC has urged all sporting bodies to cancel events in Russia.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there is only 25 or so GB members in Italy. Curling will keep its funding (maybe even increased.) but I think everything else will go. And it’s not going to be easy for snow athletes to self fund.
  21. Orangehair43
    The BBC are saying Women’s Luge Doubles will be almost certainly be addded.
  22. Orangehair43
    A good ending for the games. I don’t think Brad Hall appealing for funding to increased for Bobsleigh will succed. It’s likely all funding bar curling will get reduced.
  23. Orangehair43
    It just seems farcical to have a course setting which is not at all what people would call fair.
  24. Orangehair43
    Is it normal for one course to unwinnable on?
  25. Orangehair43
    It will likely be extended after the figure skating debacle.
