What will it prove? after the initial realisim of England not taking part, it will be just another football team absent, if it is to have an effect it needs Five or Six high profile Countries to boycott, and only then will the competition become valueless and any effects felt.
There is no question action does need to be taken by Goverments that have been/seen this type of unacceptable involvement by Russia especially if it is proven to be so. But will any goverment have the courage to take on Putin? i have my doubts. |

Morally, there are good reasons to boycott both Russia and Qatar World Cups. With Russia, even before the Salisbury case, there was Crimea and Ukraine, and suspected dodgy voting by Fifa with the awards. It would only really be effective if a whole group of countries joined together, and it's hard to see that happening at the moment. Qatar might be interesting I suppose.

It just seems like childish sour grapes.
"We don't like you, because we wanted that toy, so we're taking our ball home and don't want to play with you". It's so pathetic. |

If you pull out Russia then you have to pull out of the next tournament in Qatar as well.
Plus its FIFA so theyd probably ban us from all international competitions for a decade as punishment. I mean they said us booing the Turkish national anthem could lead to us being barred from a WC when you had knives being thrown and games abandoned in Eastern Europe with no threat of anything similar.

I agree with other posts that it will make little difference unless other countries were prepared to pull out too, which I seriously doubt. I started the thread because I'm genuinely not sure what to think, I love the World Cup and I'd be pretty gutted if we weren't in it but at the same time I REALLY don't like the way the Russians go about their business. As I said from the start no one is more to blame for this shit situation than Blatter and Co.

Anyone who thinks that England fans are going to be safe in Russia is deluding themselves.

^^^^ When this tournament begins it will create other news which in my opinion will be none too savory to say the least.

It’s amazing how scaremongering and agenda driven politicians can create such fear in people’s minds.
Boycotting the World Cup...I’ve heard it all now.

eh? I think many of us voted yes not because of scaremongering, but because we don't stand a chance and to save us the embarrassment of going out the first round

And if things continue to escalate I can’t see the Russian police etc being that bothered about protecting our fans. |

Yep, sorry i was only joshing
I think we will walk the world cup, all other countries are quaking in their boots at our brand of expansive total football as we go about taking apart the best footballing countries in the world! |

No we shouldn’t pull out, sport shouldn’t be politicised.
If we were going to pull out it should have been when it broke that Russia and Qatar pretty much got the hosting of the World Cup through bribes and Blatter |
