An entire nation of scumbags. Why do we let a middle eastern nation play in UEFA anyway? Israel gets special treatment while Ireland who asked to be separated from Israel in future draws due to their opposition to genocide get told there is nothing they can do.

The civilised world needs to stop trade and travel to these genocidal disgusting excuses for human beings.

    Would love to see a proper protest against UEFA. They're way too big for their boots.

    Their time is eventually inevitably coming, but when that is, is anyone's guess. Surely it's not possible for FIFA and UEFA to continue existing at corrupt as they are. Would love to see them come under global scrutiny and a serious amount of pressure on them.
