    I know bigger fish to fry but wales world Cup play offs in serious doubt now

    Well if Scotland Ukraine is called off which it surely will be-then how can Wales play Austria? Would be a bit harsh to kick Ukraine out and give Scotland a bye to the final?

    I presume that Ukraine would have to forfeit the tie, giving Scotland a bye. Tickets have gone on sale. No real opportunity to do much else.

    Yeah they may have to. Just seems a bit harsh to boot Ukraine out in these circumstances. Impossible for them to play any games any time soon in reality though.

    I'd like Wales to qualify then give our spot to Ukraine.
    Protest against Russia, Qatar and FIFA.

    Not sure if Ukraine could field a team of players based outside Ukraine maybe?

    Didn't the old Yugoslavia lose their euro spot during the Balkans was of the 90s to be replaced by Denmark who went on to win the tournament.

    Give Russia’s place to Ukraine. That’d annoy Vlad The Bad.

    No chance that Russia will be playing there now so giving their spot to Ukraine would be a good call

    Probably chuck the Swedes, Czechs and Poles out as well. The other teams in Russia's play off quartet!

    Chuck Qatar out as well because of their human rights record and also because their team is most probably shit.

    Infrastructure is a very big issue, and Mill Stad doesn’t have the facilities for press and the hangers on.

    Anyway it’s going to Gay Paree

    Both the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia had qualified, but had since broken up as countries. The Soviet Union entered under the commonwealth of independent states (CIS) and Yugoslavia were also going to compete as a joint Serbian and Montenegro team. They were disqualified so Denmark, including Schmeichel, Brian Laudrap and Henrik Larsen won it.
    England lost to that Tomas Brolin goal for Sweden🙂

    Ed Sheeran is playing at the Principality Stadium on 26/27/28 May, so it was a non starter anyway.

    The WC cup is going ahead and all playable games to facilitate that will go ahead. I don't see how Wales' semi-final games could be in doubt.

    And the bigwigs whinged about it afterwards. Won't be another final here for a while, if ever.
