But I consider this political, because the victims are football players. While war is an action carried out by the government. I think footballers don't interfere in state affairs, but with FIFA's actions they are victims.

Apart from that, considering the previous world cup was held in Russia, how could we expel people who have received us so well.
In this case, I do not justify the actions of the Russian government in matters of war, but I regret that Russian football players have become victims of all these actions.

In Germany, there have been repeated rumors in recent weeks that Toni Kroos could make a comeback to the German national team. However, Kroos now has made it clear that he will not change his decision and he will not return to the German team.

Therefore, Germany will have to get along without the midfielder at the World Cup in Qatar.

IMHO, I it's good that Kroos is not coming back to the German team. It's time for a new German team, because we've seen in the last few tournaments that things aren't going well with the old team. Let's see what the young players are doing. 

So funny with Ukraine request want to eliminate Iran from World Cup national team participants after support and helped Russia in war conflict between Ukraine, almost impossible if want change some national team few days later match begin, realistic if Iran eliminated from World Cup, national team replacement not Ukraine but also from Asian national team.
If possible kicked out Ecuador and Iran I don't think Italy will be national team replacement because have different region and actually replacement from each zone between Asian and CONMEBOL likely Chile, seems shy what happen with Italy and Ukraine want to play at World Cup after failed at qualify round.

Well sometimes we can say and think a lot of things, personally I don't really like to comment on those that are prohibited, or on religion or on people's sexual inclinations because they are very sensitive issues and sometimes they are usually so vulnerable that without guilt can offend those people who are very involved there, that's why I prefer to say and think that when it comes to sports there shouldn't be any kind of politics, because from my own experience, I live in a country where all citizens live off the apolitical but those who have the money are not all the citizens but the politicians, so for me there should be no prohibitions of any kind when it comes to sports, much less in football..


Well for me all this is very curious, because I had never seen before that one of the World Cups had caused so much controversy due to its type of traditions and culture as such, I think that is also one of the reasons why it was done for Qatar, to experience very different and different things, of course, that now the world has a different tone and is focused on inclusion, which in my opinion should not be talked about because it tarnishes what sport is, however, as I said before, if we are In a country that is relatively delicate with its culture and traditions, we must respect that and stick to its rules.

A relevant article, and I think things are still going well despite all these things...

[Qatar Airways mark 20 days to go for FIFA World Cup/i]

I think you heard wrong. I read somewhere that Ukraine has sent an official request to FIFA to kick Iran out of the World Cup because Iran is allegedly sending its weapons to the Russian military.
On the other hand, it seems that the case with Ecuador is not over yet and that the final decision should be made by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Is it possible that both national teams, Iran and Ecuador, will be kicked out of the world championship? Who should replace them in that case? If the criterion would be the FIFA ranking, then the first candidate is Italy.
This is a really unusual situation. There are still a few weeks left until the world cup, and we still don't know who will participate in this world cup.
Maybe they are preparing to include Ukraine and Italy in the World Cup at the last minute, in accordance with the new political correctness?

In Iran there is also quite a lot to do about the participation of the national team in the tournament. There is even an organization that has sent an official letter to FIFA through a lawyer asking for the country to be excluded, because in that country also inhumane things happen according to their sources. But I think you can notice or criticize things in every country. it seems to me that FIFA will go along with this and of course would not exclude Iran from participating. Italy of course still wants to participate through this back door. Although you might just have to leave a group of 3 instead of adding another country so late.

They went through the appropriate channel at first. FIFA appeals committee heard the first complaint from the Federación de Fútbol de Chile (FFCh). They went to CAS, after FIFA rejected their appeals. Now it would really be a surprise if CAS overturns the decision from FIFA. If somehow that happens, then we can expect a lot of chaos ahead of the world cup. FIFA may choose to ignore the ruling from the CAS, but it can lead to unwanted consequences for the sports body. It will be beneficial for all the sides, if FFCh withdraws their appeal with the CAS.

I don't agree with that decision either. Maybe I will make a lot of people angry by saying this, but sport should be sport. And decisions made by politicians should not affect players. How come the Russians were able to compete in the Olympic games under a neutral flag when there was doping scandal few years ago? Personally I think that is bigger issue in sport than some politicians deciding to attack another country.

While at this point it is unrealistic that FIFA is going to allow another team be disqualified over something like this, at the same time the Chilean soccer association is just following the appropriate channels for their claims, so there is not much that can be done at this point, however I think that at this point they are not really looking to actually make it to the world cup, but instead they are looking for FIFA to compromise and pay them a huge amount of money so they desist from pursuing this case.

Agreed. I don't think that FIFA is under any obligation to follow the orders that are coming from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). But one catch is that both of these organizations have headquarters in the same country. The FIFA has its headquarters in Zürich (Switzerland), while the CAS is located in Lausanne, Switzerland. I am not a legal expert, and therefore can't predict what will happen if the CAS passes a judgement against FIFA. All that said, I am still mad at the Chileans. Why can't they just accept the fact that Ecuador is a better team?

I wouldn't call this FIFA decision "political".
It is a necessary action for the well-being and comfort of all players.
The FIFA World Cup is, above all, an event that aims to bring people together through sport, something that Russia is unfortunately doing the opposite.
It is unfortunate that players without any fault are penalized for this, but it is necessary and I believe that even they (Russian players) understand the sanctions imposed by FIFA.

Any international sports competition is political in a way, since there are countries participating in them...

For example Russia was disqualified from this world cup: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/russia-out-world-cup-2022-poland-advanced-ukraine-postponed-qualify/oxyxia6hvqgo5ljgj60wfnla

I don't think World Cup participants will change one weeks left match begin and impossible what happen at Ecuador national team give bigger impact loss their participants at the World Cup. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) seems bullshit when announcing about Ecuador problem faced and I don't think effective for FIFA want to change with other countries. Chile not hurry up preparing team because schedule match have drawing and Ecuador will participants at this World Cup what ever final decision from CAS not change with World Cup national team participants.

That's bad. Politics shouldn't have so much saying in sport. The best nations who qualified should compete in the World Cup and that's it! I understand that FIFA wants to kick politics out of football, but there are other way. Players that play for Tunisia are not to be blamed or punished just because their government is involved in their football federation.

The really strict rules in Qatar this time around will be discouraging to people who were considering to make the trip to have a first row experience. Some of these people who sincerely know that the rules will be difficult to keep should just avoid traveling so they don't get arrested and have a major experience that can ruin their interest in the sports. You can still enjoy the games and be free to do as you like in the comfort of your home streaming the games. I know it will not be the same as the live experience, but it will save you from issues.

There are rumors that Italy might join WC instead of Tunisia but so far nothing official. So much politics involved lately in this World Cup and to be honest , I'm not expecting a great World Cup that people will remember over the years but we might have a final that we might remember forever if Messi and Argentina will lift the Cup. 

as the german kicker reports, the organizing committee of the world cup host country is paying for selected fans to travel to the tournament - so that they can create a good atmosphere there and in the social networks. flights, accommodation and pocket money are included for participants in the 'fan Leader network'
in addition, the world cup oc is said to have informed fans that social media posts will be monitored. it reserves the right to demand changes or the deletion of posts. fans "with obvious political views" are not permitted to participate in the program.

i have seen a lot of wc tournaments and each one was a very big celebration ... but the world cup in qatar will hopefully be a complete disgrace for the country and hopefully for fifa as well

That will affect the population of the stadium and also their country economy. There are some fans that like to drink hot drinks and if that doesn't happen they might not like to travel to Qatar for the world cup.
It is only 17 days left to kick start the world cup. But we that from Niger Delta in Nigeria are still suffering from flood. So to subscribe our DSTV and GOTV or any other decoders to watch the matches might not be possible at the first and second week of the tournament.

The evidence will be presented today and tomorrow, or thereabouts.

CAS will be hearing this, and they will have the last (finally) word about this.

I'm not sure why they would say something different than FIFA, but maybe I'm missing something. They could might well have different authorities and it might be the case that a no for FIFA might be a yes from CAS.

We'll have to wait and see, the result should be available in about a week or so.

^^^ This is getting really shitty. What authority does the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has over FIFA? FIFA has already made its decision and they found no wrong doing from the part of Ecuador. It is the Chileans who are behaving as if they are sore losers. There is so much uncertainty with less than a week to go for the start of the world cup. And it is solely due to the unpalatable behavior by the Federación de Fútbol de Chile (FFCh). There is no new evidence being presented, and ideally CAS should stay away from this shit show.
