A few days ago, FIFA announced that the Russian team can participate in the World Preliminary Tournament, but it needs to participate in the name of the "Russian Football Federation". At the same time, Russia will lose its home advantage and play in the middle of the game. In this regard, sweden, which is in the same group as the Russian team in the play-offs, did not buy it. The Swedish Football Federation issued a public statement expressing disappointment with FIFA's decision and determined to work with other associations to continue to push for the disqualification of the World Preliminary Tournament in Russia.
Many fans feel a little aggressive about the Swedish Football Association's statement, too much to give Russia and FIFA face. The Russian team participated in the World Preliminary Tournament under the name of the "Russian Football Federation" and played in the neutral position, which was already a big concession. FIFA does not want to disqualify the Russian team in principle from the World Preliminary Tournament because it is unfair to Russian football.
FIFA has always been very repulsive to political interference in football, so it does not want to kill the Russian team. As a result, the Swedish Football Association was not satisfied with the results of FIFA's handling, hoping to directly make the Russian team disappear from the World Preliminary Tournament. The Swedish Football Association should be jealous of the strength of the Russian team in doing so. Judging from the comparison of the strengths of the two teams in Sweden and Russia, the two sides should be in the middle of the game.
If Russia had home field advantage, it was very likely to knock Sweden off the horse. Because of this, the Swedish Football Association is dissatisfied with the way FIFA handles Russia. Fans believe that in football, it is necessary to rely on strength, not on some side doors. Sweden must beat Russia if they want to qualify for the World Cup, and don't expect FIFA to disqualify Russia from the World Cup.
Russia suffered a loss of home advantage before playing in the play-offs. Russian fans hope that the national team can overcome all kinds of difficulties, achieve excellent performances in the World Preliminary Tournament play-offs, and strive to pass five levels and cut six players to qualify for the World Cup. In the future, Russia and Sweden will compete on the football field and fight back against the Swedish Football Association to continue to put pressure on FIFA.
