The FIFA president wants to bring Russia back to global football again…
So why not introduce a rule right away that the team with the most red cards in a season gets direct entry to the World Cup final; or whoever punches the face of the opposing goalkeeper the most times before a match has the right to start with a penalty; or allow participation in championships but conduct one-sided tests for accuracy, field speed, and shooting distance, just to stay out of trouble and avoid forcing other countries into this mess…
Absurd, you say!
And you would be 100% right. Just as in the fact that no changes have occurred since the ban.
So why is he singing his old song again? Because it’s not about sports and its primary principles and rules. It’s about profits!
Rest assured, Russia is ready to pay to return from isolation. Anything but stop killing people and demonstrating the right of force.
With such “peacemakers” and the attractive yet dubious slogan “sports outside politics” (because any possible return will bring more politicization), there will be nothing good for peace.
To paraphrase the classic: “We don’t need this kind of football!”
Obozrevatel: Europe revolted. FIFA does not plan to return Russia to world football – The Times
The FIFA Council will not consider the return of Russian teams anytime soon. Despite the statement by FIFA president Gianni Infantino about the necessity to lift sanctions from the aggressor, representatives from Europe are categorically against such plans.
