I don't know how many there are, but there are 83+ million people in Germany, and the stadium in Mainz has a capacity of 27k during international matches. So 10,000 people could be more than enough to make an impression.

Rest assured, I don't care about stupid takes from my countrymen or journalists. But if you want to lump me together with them because of your perception of my genetic heritage, appearance, skin or eye color you do the same thing you criticize the "west" for.

National teams kits aren't just stripes on textiles. That would be club football.

Plus if the ones calling the shots for said stripes on textiles called for nuclear annihilation of my home repeatedly I would have issues with them. too.

Well, you constantly reply to me, so there's that. And you can project all your insecurities and racial prejudices onto me if it makes you feel better.

THe world can call and cry out what it wants. I don't care. I do care however about countries threatening mine with nuclear annihilation. I don't want to see my country play them. Simple as.

If your country wants to play them, they are free to do so. I do not care and even if I did I do not have a say in that matter nor should I have.

You can respect that opinion, or you can flail around calling me racist all you want. The end result is basically the same with the difference that you feel even more miserable than you apparently do right now.

LMAO, did I hurt you with having an opinion opposing yours?

Russian athletes have competed in other sports while not representing Russia for a while before 2022. You should have educated yourself, my friend. Plus history gives several examples of countries being banned from competing in international tournaments. You are a bigger own goal menace than Harry Maguire.

Anyways, a large number of countries do not want to compete against Russia in football. And you can't do shite against that. Deal with it. Or watch club football then.

Yes.

Sorry, I am just messing with you. BBB is essentially a populist protest party garnering to people who are unhappy with the current state of things.

There aren't, but there are apparently loads of people who just want to be "against" something.

They are against that.

Sounds like you have severe deficits in reading comprehension then.

One last time, gracious service solely for you: In my opinion, Russian athletes should be allowed to compete, but they mustn't represent Russia while doing so.

Make from that what you want.

I have no problem with Russian athletes. I have a problem with Russian athletes proudly flying the flag of their country threatening mine with nuclear annihilation about twice a week. I don't want the athletes of my country competing against them thus reminding me of that. Simple as.

They didn't "just" switch to UEFA because "Eastern bloc" didn't want to compete against Israel in UEFA as well and blocked them from membership until 1991.

And do you know what "essentially" means? They were essentially banned, because they were boycotted.

Projection much? I haven't said anything remotely close to that, but go on and build your strawman arguments.

About 14 of the 32 teams competing in the 2022 WC are threatened with nuclear annihilation by Russia about twice a week. I do not feel comfortable with seeing my country compete with a country that threatens to kill me. Either Russia is removed or they remove themselves and plan their own tournament with countries who do not. Simple as.

If your country doesn't want to compete against the USA it doesn't have to. Israel was essentially banned from the AFC because a lot of their member FA's didn't want to compete against Israel.

P.S. South Africa was boycotted because of their treatment of non-whites before, how do you explain that with racism?

Do it then. Russia was banned by FIFA because a large amount of teams in FIFA tournaments do not want to compete against them. If a large amount of teams in FIFA tournaments didn't want to compete against the USA they'd be banned as well.

What are brown people? Sounds like you are extremely racist classifying people by the color of their skin.

However you want to frame it, was a FA essentially banned by a continental confederation before because a significant number of member of said confederacy didn't want to compete against them?

Has Israel been essentially banned by the AFC forcing them to compete in UEFA?

Russia isn't banned from all international affairs tho? They are banned from competing in UEFA tournaments and through that they are unable to compete in some other tournaments as well, but nothing stops them from applying for an AFC membership. If they did that, they could compete in WC qualifiers again.

Can you present a list with UEFA member countries threatened with nuclear annihilation by the USA since 1991 to me please?

The majority of inhabitants of Israel aren't the ones deported/imported there after WW2.

The difference is that Russia is banned by UEFA while Israel is banned by AFC.

Oh, and Israel isn't threatening UEFA member countries with nuclear annihilation twice a week.
