    Hopefully sport transcends politics.

    Sport and politics should, where possible, be kept separate.

    Did you have to spend hours thinking about that post Mario?

    Or did it come to you somewhat out of the blue?

    should have moved the event to another country, as talk of teams not wanting to be involved,,

    OK then. They should have been stripped of the World Cup after they were found guilty of state sponsored doping across numerous sports.

    Agree should not have been given to Russia or Qatar. Too late to change it now. Any fans travelling there need to be extremely careful.

    It was an answer to a question. Have you got any thoughts of your own?

    I don't disagree with you but that wasn't the question.

    Yes - but I am happy to defer to your decisiveness on this issue.

    I'm afraid it probably wouldn't be wise.
