Excellent! Well done FIFA.

Wow, so invading another country gets you kicked but human rights violations do not.... A little pandering by FIFA in my opinion

LOL

everyone “outraged” when people of a certain type are displaced and killed but not a peep when others are tortured for decades

look in the mirror

I said in the Ukraine/Russia thread this might get the war over quickly as the Russian people might revolt against Putin if their team doesn’t get a chance to qualify for the WC. If it was Brazil, it would be over as soon as FIFA did this. They take the game seriously. To them it is more than life or death.

North Korea is in FIFA as is China, as is a few other Middle East Countries.
