for those who don't know regarding the Israel situation back then


they were a very problematic nation to the AFC's FA, too many high risk games against rivals such as Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Iraq

so that led to them getting expelled, and staying without being in any official FA until 1991 when they joined the UEFA



with all honesty, it is good maybe if Russia can compete again, and well away from their rivals Ukraine, as for Putin he just needs to accept his losses in Ukraine and move on, if he is anywhere the man i thought he was somewhere inside, he better do the right thing for his country
