And Qatar. As much as a protest against FIFA than anything. Keep the team at home to volunteer with poor kids.

One thought is for England to boycott World Cup if allied countries join in e.g. the omission of France; Germany and Australia would really embarrass both corrupt Russia & FIFA. Scope for min-tournament that could then be played at same time as World Cup. Alternatively bring back the Home tournament - Scotland; England; Wales ; Rep. & Northern Ireland

Yes we should boycott the world cup to show Russia we are no pushover.

You can't allegedly poison people in the uk and get away with it.

It's time to put the boot into Putin.

However that doesn't mean we should strop off. It wasn't our decision. It was those corrupt FIFA knobs. We go and fly back at the quarter final stage.

No.

I see no appetite from any other countries to boycott so we would be cutting off our own noses. Additionally FIFA would suspend our membership ( governments not allowed to interfere with the FA) which would impact all levels of football. I suppose the Premier League could say who cares but UEAFA would probably follow suit so no European club football.

Better to hit his Russian mates in the pocket.

ok, maybe Putin poisoned people in UK. But why NOW? Before president elections and World Cup, the most hope-for event of recent years? And wheres the proof? furthermore, Skripal had been in russian prison for few years, why Putin didnt kill him thereat?

More questions than answers

Only boycott it if you beleive everything you hear and beleive the Russians are guilty.

It's all a part of a grand plan from the west....

No, we should still participate in the WC. Are Russia any more corrupt than previous WC hosts?

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Certainly not. I appreciate it now makes Englands task all the harder but no way should sport be used as a political football

Very true...and with idiots such as Boris in the Foreign office we're in danger of painting ourselves into a corner rather than ensuring that Russia provide answers against the charges....having said that they're not helping themselves by 'deflecting' everything with the tired "Russiaphobic" stance...they're only kidding themselves that everythings rosey...no one else.

Just answer the questions so we can all move on...
