The British government has been praised for its decisive action over the attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury, but so far it has shied away from the big decision and it is not going to be a popular move. Should England compete in the World Cup in Russia this summer? Well, obviously not. With tensions between the two countries at Cold War levels it would be madness to allow England to play in Russia. Not only will the team be put at risk so will the thousands of England fans who are planning to travel to Moscow. The travel advice from the Foreign Office for those heading to Russia is clear: do not draw attention to the fact that you are British and do not get involved in any political arguments. You can't exactly keep a low profile and try and hide your nationality when you are wearing a replica England football shirt.

You all make light of this. But the fact is:-Putin took over Ukraine, Cyber attack in Estonia. Continually flying into UK aerospace. Another controlling man began in this way 80 years ago. We learnt too late then and persons were supporting him continually. Learn from history.Theresa May has been decisive. There is MUCH we are not told as it would probably scare us far too much.Chemical warfare is a changing of the world landscape.
Oh ye little englanders. This isn't even a front page stiry in any European country. Nonone cares. If we pull out the world cup, no one will miss our thug fans or our wretched overpaid pathetic players. We will be coming home after : games anywsy. If we pull out, everybody wins.
Prime Minister, Teresa May has shown strength and leadership in standing up to Russian terrorism and crimes against all human decency. The Bridge public, including football supporters are capable of making their own decision as to attend the World Cup.
And i suppose Spain and the rest of Europe will show solidarity with England and boycott the world cup to ?
Dear Mr Moore, please move back to the UK, then we might have you giving us news of what is going on in Mallorca!!!
In yesterdays SUN , Jeremy Clarkson suggested holding the World Cup in the UK. As there are several Countries supporting Britain's actions to date. Perhaps they would support holding the World Cup in UK.. Of course FIFA would have reservations etc. But to say avoid being an England Supportr. When they attend an England match, how do they disguise their obvious support ?. There are some frightening Hooligan Gangs waiting for The English in Russia. They have trained by fighting each others gangs. DO NOT GO TO RUSSIA.
