FIFA have thrown Russia out of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup after the IOC called for sporting competitions to remove Russian athletes in wake of the invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian men's national team were scheduled to play Poland in a play-off for Qatar 2022 on March 24 - a match Poland said they would boycott - but the Poles have now been given a bye to the next round of qualifying.

Hilarious. Qatar's stadiums for the event are being built by slaves and nobody at FIFA bats an eye

But Qatar, a country where migrant slave labor is used to build stadiums and accommodations, can host the World Cup.

Gotta love FIFA being the moral compass in Qatar. Hundreds of people have died making those stadiums.

This will end when celebrities all get together on Twitter and start singing "Imagine".

Putin will have no choice but to withdraw all troops.
