Russian note of interest to host Euro 2028

[Yarrgh]

no ones giving it to them, its a political move for disruptive purposes and for domestic consumption

That's the long and short of it.

What next?

Saudi Arabia to host the LGBTQ+ world Olympics.

It looks extremely unlikely. Even after the Russian Special Military Operation is over and Ukraine agree to peace terms, relations with Russia will be on the floor for years to come.

Knowing FIFA I wouldn't be all that surprised if they would seriously consider it.

There's got to be a few nice brown envelopes on the cards.

The Saudi chop shop will will stop the post-op if they're showing a pre-op flop.

As soon as this is all over, part of the rehabilitation will to bring Russia back into the sporting fold. I wouldn’t accept any bidding process from them until the war in Ukraine is resolved.

Yes bit for me it should be a slow process. It should all be forgiven instantly. And part of that process for me would be allowing them to play international friendlies again but not to be eligible for major tournaments.

That will be the murdering of children, bombing hospitals, and shelling humanitarian escape routes then?

I do agree. Some would say that is special.

Or, I guess, I am bewitched by Western MSM and Putin is the good guy.

That's the terminology on the telly mate. Am I responsible for that?

Isn’t it a Uefa tournament?

That's the terminology on the telly mate.

Are you watching from Russia?

 

[Kev The Rat]

Are you watching from Russia?

Why do the words used bother you?

I can post countless propaganda issued by Ukraine then relayed as fact by western media.

 

[davek]

Are you watching from Russia?

No, I'm watching (unfortunately) the BBC. Their "journalists", like Lyce Doucet (or Lies Doucet as I call her) often use the term.

I am, of course, at liberty to check out what other news channels like CNN, ITV and Russia Today describe the conflict as.

 

[davek]

No mate. We cant use those three words now. It's forbidden. Never arrange those three words in that order again. Drico says we're Russian agents.

 

[davek]

Back on topic: I mean, it's a tournament that's 6 years away. It's a bid that also includes Turkey and cant be dismissed. In 6 years time the geo-politics is going to look very different anyway.

 

[ForestBlue]

I can foresee it now!

Russia gets it due to corrupt UEFA and they wheel out Southgate again at some stage trying to justify why England are still going.

Southgate extending his brief again yesterday (just stick to Footy and 3 peice suits lad)

Southgate 'doesn't know what a World Cup boycott achieves'

England manager Gareth Southgate says he does not know what a boycott of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would achieve.

Only joking but stranger things have happened (probably)
