Ukraine have asked for their WC play-off v Scotland to be postponed.
Hardly a surprise.
I presume Wales will plough on v Austria and take it from there.

Whilst thinking it is only fair for the Ukraine not to attend the Scotland game I have 2 questions:
1. Why should this affect Wales v Austria
2. If the Ukraine paralympic team can turn up in China in these circumstances, why can't the football team play?
I don't want this to sound harsh but it is an argument isn't it?
I think it's possible to have sympathy with Ukrainians but also be realistic that without a fairly swift ending to the conflict that this could otherwise be postponed for months which is difficult to see happening.
A Ukrainian lad played for Everton last night, I don't know how many overseas players they would have available to at least be competitive.
They should give them a bye to the finals and hope they can sort the situation out by then.
Scotland should play Poland the same time as the other fixtures. Put the three winners into a draw, one bye to a play-off final away to the winners of another play off between the other two sides.
