The Russians have hosted a wonderful World Cup... on 21:40 - Jul 7 by ParisBlue
And yet many said that it was a disgrace they were given the right to host it.
It’ll be ironic if England do go on to win the competition given the fallout when Russia were awarded it.
I was probably one of those and thought they had bought it ParisBlue. For all the negatives about the country prior to the competition commencing just believe it has superseded everyone’s expectations on and off the pitch.

"England football team 'SHOCK World Cup BOYCOTT being considered to send message to Putin'
UK OFFICIALS are reportedly considering a shocking plan to withdraw the England football team from this summer’s World Cup in Russia if Vladimir Putin’s government is implicated in the alleged poisoning of double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia."

"England football team 'SHOCK World Cup BOYCOTT being considered to send message to Putin'

a) stick to our principles and pull out now b) admit that the whole Skripal affair was British politicking at its absolute lowest.
This is just silly. Don't confuse a Daily Express article with 'British politicking'. Especially when two people are currently close to death in hospital. Who else makes Novichok?! The fact that Putin has controlled the PR on this World Cup and the football's been entertaining doesn't make the Russians suddenly whiter than white. Anyway, I'm personally delighted the doped-up Russians have finally gone, that the Brazilian given a special 'Presidential decree' by Putin to play for Russia missed one of the penalties, and hopeful that we'll now go on and win the thing in Russia.

Boris Johnson himself threatened to boycott the world cup. Is that political enough for you?
Who is close to death in hospital?
"Who else makes Novichok?!" - I think you need to do your homework.
it's been good because there's been very little to separate the teams. almost anyone could have progressed, or got through a knock out stage. there haven't been dominant teams or any odds on winner.
And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

You could start by watching this:

You have no interest in Russian provocation aimed at the UK?
Planes flown down the channel, or off the coast of Scotland?
Boats deliberately brought as close to our shores as they can just about get away with?
"We all do it". Do we? On that scale?
Yay. Go Russia, you good guys. Come on.
I'm sure that the majority of Russian people are amazing to know, like most of the population of the planet, but politically right now the country is not our friend.

Have you listened to the video?
EDIT: And can you tell me what benefit Russia gets from these so called provocations?

Why would I want to listen to 'the video'?
Shall we discount all the bad things Russia have been responsible for recently?
Is there a video debunking the free reign of their 'Ultras' attacking English in France or are you simply fine with it? Gratuitous violence is ok when it's against your own huh?
Have a word with yourself.
I dislike our government and most of what they stand for. They have done ll they can to trash my life I assure you.
But I will support the views and hard work of our civil service until I learn otherwise against a known rogue country like Russia.

So our government has done all it can to trash your life yet you believe all the bad things that they have told you about Russia.
It sounds a little bit like you want to believe that Russia has done all these bad things.
If you didn't, perhaps you wouldn't dismiss an interesting video suggested to you by a fellow fan.

It helps that we're still in it.
Yes there were a few calling for a boycott. It's been a fantastic tournament with England's best chance in ages, we can be thankful those calling for a boycott didn't get their way. Ironically some of those will probably end up at the semi and final of a tournament they actually wanted cancelled!

And you, in the interest of balance, wouldn't ignore what I said about Russian aircraft and warships encroaching on our personal space to test our defences and deliberately waste our resources.
You would also condemn the organised, and publicly condoned by Russian officials and nationalised media on TV, violence against English visitors to France.

You are of course right but it doesn't suit the board narrative.
It's a weird board.

You seem fine with all that.
I'm not at fault here.
With regards to planes and ships I'm not sure which events you're talking about.
I remember reports of russian subs off the coast of Norway which turned out to be false, so please tell me which events you're talking about.
The violence by Russian football fans was atrocious. I assume they were Russian and not Ukrainian. I'll take your word for it that their actions were condoned on Russian TV - what did they actually say?
