FIFA will monitor the situation? What f*cking planet are Infantino and his lackeys on? Amazing that when the chips are down money still comes to the fore. Russia should be kicked out of every sporting event without exception, they've cheated at many in the past as if that wasn't a barometer of their psyche...
The head FIFA fella got some award from Putin.
Agree its shameful that money dictates like this.
 
Zelenskyy giving his daily briefing, he's such an impressive guy to listen to. You can see why any Ukranian listening to him would be willing to lay down their life for their country. Wish we had a Prime Minister like that !

Absolutely, it's quite evident that all the former Soviet satellite states have immense national pride in their identity and for Putin to crow that 'we're all Russian' shows how totally deluded he has become. For one man to exert such total power is frightening part of this, he calls the Ukrainian government Nazis yet he is a 21st century Hitler in his strategy...
 
I agree generally that virtue signalling has become a pastime in some parts of our society and can be sickening in its egotism.

But over Ukraine, I do believe people are genuinely sympathetic, outraged, angry and concerned that we have a nuclear power, albeit a poor and unsuccessful one, behaving as if this is 1939.

I take your point Goldie, however ii still ascertain that for many it’s just virtue signalling and just them wanting to look like they care more than others.
Not long ago it was a French flag….after that a ‘I’ve had my covid jab’…now the Yellow and blue of Ukraine.
What’s next months cause gonna be ?
 
Nope….can’t pick which set of kids that I’d rather have kill the other set of kids.
As Cologne said…it ain’t a game of football mate

Ridiculous mate.
Putin or Ukraine and you can't decide who's side you're on?

No one is suggesting war is preferable, so any loss of life is tragic.

At some point though, one has to decide who's side one is on imo.

Thats your opinion and you’re fully entitled to it. I think it’s far more complicated than that and don’t think it’s a matter of ‘taking sides’.
Funny to see you say ‘Putin or Ukraine’…..
Why not Russia or Ukraine….or Putin or Zelinsky ?

Because I don't have anything against the Russian people.

I support Zelinsky over Putin too.

Anyway, as you say, opinions.
