    FIFA announce Russia can't play at home, can't have fans, can't have anthems or flags and can only call their team 'The Football Union of Russia'. Don't see why they just can't ban them. Be interesting to see if there are any third party European countries willing to host their home games although I would imagine the Poles, Swedes and Czechs will rightly still say no.

    Not being allowed to use your national flag but still being allowed to compete is a joke. It's a joke in the Olympics and it's a joke in football.

    I always find that so stupid. 'You can't compete under the name Russia but you can under The Football Union of Russia'. No-one will know who they are, will they?

    Obviously they are taking other steps to stop people realising who they are. They replace the Russian national anthem with a song by Tchaikovsky and replace the Russian flag with three red white and blue stripes. Nothing at all like the usual Russian flag. Honest.
