Doesn't matter. Unless they are scheduled to play friendlies against Belarus, Syria or Pakistan, I doubt anyone else will play them.

It does matter a lot , the people that run FIFA are disgraceful and they should ban and isolate Russia completely.

All about the money again.

Your right about how few countries will be unwilling to play them.
 
FIFA will never ban them - they don’t have the balls,

All sports governing bodies should be banning all Russian sporting teams from competing at any level
 
Thought it was a good game.
Not the best finishing though until the pens they were great. ( Fabinhos was class)
Some good football from both sides.
Chelsea manager needs to explain the offside rule to his strikers.
Strange decision to sub Mendy ( what a keeper) mom for me .
Bit flat in extra time ,but I hate pens.
Great day for Kelleher one he won’t forget, neither will Chelsea’s keeper.

They already have the mess of the WC qualifiers to deal with with Poland and Sweden refusing to play. F1 has taken their stand but you wonder where it leaves Haas and their driver https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/1...h-f1-team-along-with-russian-sponsor-uralkali. Sport needs to take action and banning Russia is the only way in each psort but is it fair to penalise the sportsmen and women for something out their control. How feasible is it all to compete under a neutral flag like the athletes in the olympics
 
It’s times like this Fish is missed

I'd sleep with one eye open tonight He must not be mentioned here according to a certain someone who i will refrain from Memtioning for the fear of further sanctions.....
 
What a crazy final. Disallowed goals left right and centre. Chelsea fluffed so many good chances to score. Then they sub off their goalie even though he's played an absolute blinder. When they did that we were saying "imagine if he makes no saves and then missed the crucial one.. haha" and he only went and did exactly that! You couldn't make it up, no one would believe you. Unreal. :LOL:

Edit: One on VAR - I've said it so many times but it's a shame that a forward can't be level with the defence anymore. Some small aspect of his person will always be past the magical line. Today, Lukaku's left bicep was offside. Farce.

Yes it's fair to ban the sports people, as well as Russian holiday makers, university students etc etc in fact everyone and everything, after all they did vote Putin in (well they didn't but that's their fault) and the public ultimately are the ones that need to stand up against the regime.
 
Respect to Klopp for all the comments and reasons why he picked Kelleher for the game.

Deserved to win for that reason alone imo.
