Personally, i think it seems a futile gesture that will only hurt us. But some politicians have suggested it should be banned, and we are not sending any Royals to Russia to represent the nation which is a symbolic gesture.

The Russians are the least of our concerns. I'm more concerned about Muslim child rape gangs but the mainstream media don't seem interested. If Putin ordered the assassination of the spy traitor, there would be much easier ways of doing it than using a nerve agent easily traceable back to Russia. Either that or he's sending a message to turned spys that the motherland will never forget the treachery.
I would side with the Russians, I agree with a lot of their policies, especially regarding immingration. Europe is a hell hole now thanks to liberals and Merkel. The Russians don't mess about with terrorists or dickheads, I've seen that first hand in Moscow. They deal with tramps by beating them to a pulp, lol. Nowt to do with football anyway.

Sport should never have anything to do with politics the players qualified and they deserve the chance to try and win the tournament.I don`t care about Putin in the slightest it`s just a smokescreen to appease the Remainers we will NEVER leave the EU. Democracy is BS.

football and politicts - poles apart
what would a boycott achieve anyway? The world cup is something to look forward to even if we get dumped out early. For some players it is their only chance of appearing on the world stage of football
I bet Italy would swap places

No way we should boycott the World Cup, as has already been said sport and politics should be kept seperate.
Then if we win the World Cup we can stick 2 fingers up at Putin............I don't think Putin will be worried somehow.

I honestly can't even think about the World Cup yet.
The next 7 weeks are far too concering to be able to think about England and the World Cup. This is massive. If England flop again, so what. If Town get relegated again, it will be different to last time i'm sure, could have serious implications, or even be the beginning of the end.

So the Russians have brought chemical warfare to the streets of England & some of you want to do nothing, not sure if you realise that the chemical warfare weapon of Novichok produced just outside Moscow could have killed thousands of our own people, this is the second chemical warfare the Russians have done on English soil, the other one was in Nov 2006 where Litvinenko was hit with radioactive polonium another chemical weapon, the Russians have killed probably another 14 people in England, they have brought chemical warfare to the Streets of England and were going to play in the World cup in front of Putin & those that have sent chemical warfare to our streets, are we mad.

I never said do nothing......I'm all for strong sanctions.... but I don't think England should boycott the World Cup.......just my opinion.

Politics aside I think the fans should boycott the cup.
They will be set on by the Russians but receive no justice or protection from the police,
As far as the team is concern when was the last time the players turned up for the finals ?
