Quote from: Sir Lüc on Today at 10:01:59 AMI for one am happy to report that, for the third edition in a row, my home country is boycotting a World Cup held in an authoritarian regime. (For a country so obsessed about football, we sure are rubbish at it lately. Luckily, I dislike both the game and the obsession, so I shall continue blissfully ignoring the plight of my compatriots.)

Didn't Italy simply fail to qualify for the World Cup? I don't think that's a boycott unless you say they played badly so they didn't have to go? :-)

Duh, the decades long ineptitude and mismanagement in the Italian football federation is obviously all a long ploy to avoid Russia, Qatar and the US.

I don't know anything about soccer, but that's never stopped me before.
