UEFA Bans Putin Russia from International Football
Russia playing in the 2026 World Cup in the US would be wild. UEFA Bans Vladimir Putin’s Russia from International Football. One fan told SportsFila: “Not fair to the russian public and athletes that they are punished for decisions of their government. Football is supposed to bring people together not isolate.”
I wonder if Infantino really agreed to suspend Russia from FIFA
Russian football teams will remain banned from European competitions due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, Al Jazeera sources confirm the decison to SportsFila.com.
Russia will also not host the UEFA Super Cup later this year, which was due to be played in Kazan.

Banned from Qatar 2022 World Cup, Russian Football Suffers Isolation and Apathy
As The Athletic reported, Russian Football Union (RFU) executives met their UEFA counterparts at the organisation’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland today ahead of tomorrow’s ExCo meeting.
I think Russia will try to stay in UEFA for a while, but, there is a limit. If Putin demands Russia to finally leave Europe for good, it’s likely that no European nation will miss Russia. And for Asia, AFC will have to decide that Russia can’t be drawn with Japan, Australia, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and Singapore (South Korea, while supporting the West, does not join sanctions).

Still, Russia joining AFC can present possible AFC turn from other countries like Turkey and Kazakhstan, since both are now being viewed by Europe as authoritarian regimes. As UEFA deepens the human rights law as a condition, Turkey and Kazakhstan are pivoting their football to Asia.
Why FIFA World Cup Tournament Only Takes Place Every 4 Years?
But, contrary to Russian media reports, there has been no working group set up by UEFA to discuss the country’s return to the European fold, nor is it participating in one. Russia’s national teams and clubs have been banned from UEFA and FIFA competitions since the end of last February due to the conflict.
This Is How Russia UEFA-FIFA Ban will Impact Man Utd in Champions League
An official statement from RFU read: “RFU and UEFA have met today to discuss the wide variety of issues, regarding cooperation between the organisations. The highlight of the meeting was the discussion.
ST. PETERSBURG — Four years after achieving global football celebrity as host of the 2018 World Cup, Russia’s exclusion from international competitions in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine has led to declining standards in domestic matches, fan apathy and foreign players leaving in droves.
The Brussels Bar, a sports bar in Russia’s second-largest city, used to show World Cup matches on large television screens since the start of the competition — but attendance had been underwhelming.
Man Utd Sends Peace Warning to Russia Ukraine Invasion
LetsRide 1987 says “The sanction from UEFA & FIFA is a disgrace. You don’t mix politics and sports otherwise you should have thrown Amercia out and sanctioned them when they illegaly invaded Iraq but i guess the current politicians either have memory loss or play by other rules when its a western country that invades.”
“Politics should stay out of sport,” bartender Roman said about the decision by football’s international governing body, FIFA, to ban Russia from the tournament in Qatar.

Yet Roman, who declined to give his surname, also said his expectations for the Russian national team were low in the first place.
“I think we wouldn’t have made it through the qualifying matches,” he said.
Australia and new zealand should have applied to join UEFA imo but is what it is it is would be interesting to see if Russia is allowed into qualifiers for the world cup USA-MEX-CAN 2026 at all idk if russia will but hypothetically if they were allowed into qualifiers and qualified and the war has not ended or subsumed FIFA would be in precarious situation.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
