How FIFA and Gianni Infantino are handing football's greatest stage to a war criminal, just as the IOC handed the 1936 Olympics to Hitler & the Nazis.
It's hard not to keep politics out of sporting events, but it really does the World Cup a disservice.
Lets hope the World Cup is conducted in a good sense of friendship, concord and tolerance, and that Scotland do us proud on the world stage.
It was already going to be a weird tournament but now that Iran is firing rockets etc at Qatar and Saudi Arabia all of whom have qualified it’s got even weirder. Apart from anything else aviation fuel will probably become very scarce.
I hope against hope that Mexico and Canada withdraw, why would either want to be part of yet another Trump shitshow.
I also hope the IOC have a change of mind regarding the 2028 Olympics, there's plenty of time to scrub the games in that country.
