Give Slovakia the Russian spot, Denmark 92 style, but also cancel the whole tournament.

100% certain that we’d end up ceding Rome to the sammarinesi despite the fact that the militaries of both nations are literally the same force.

Does this mean that Poland will get a Bye win in the WC qualifiers or that another team will take Russia's place?

If it's like the Uefa cup then Poland will go through automatically

Today, the Russian FA has made public their interest to host either the 2028 or 2032 European championship.

No really.

No way they could pay the necessary bribes with those sanctions in place, making a mockery of UEFA values with these applications

They should still steamroll UAE or whomever in the playoff but I don't expect them to beat the 5th placed South American side.

In short: LOL you chose to play in the afc instead of having a guaranteed spot by clowning on Tonga every few years

I was going to say do they now have to play one of those comedy rigged playoffs against Uruguay or whoever. Couldn't remember if they'd fixed that

Wouldn't they have to do a playoff anyway? There are more spots available in afc, and a better chance of getting a guaranteed spot rather than always having to go to a playoff.

Yes. A playoff against the 4th place CONCACAF team isn't any sort of guarantee for Australia, either. They made the right choice.

This could change once the cup expands to 48, but there's no way they could have predicted that
