Poles have already won. The decision on playing a role with Russia will go down in history. Respect for the staff

The President of the Polish Football Association, Cezary Kulesza, wrote emphatically: “This is the only right decision.” And the first media reactions to show that he is right. This decision will put pressure on FIFA to react to Russia’s aggression clearly and sharply, like the footballers of the national team and the Polish Football Association.

The world federations are just talking. Poland has worked

There was no better choice in this situation. Poland is already a winner in this matter. World federations “condemn”, “express concern” or “monitor the situation”, but make little concrete decisions. Constantly maneuvering through the maze of interests, looking for the right words so as not to offend Russian business partners by chance – in the face of Russian missiles falling on Ukrainian cities, it is simply unacceptable.

Polish footballers have had enough of it, the Polish federation has acted very decisively: it does not want to play a match with Russia, even if it is a match for a high stakes and millions of dollars that start in. He doesn’t want to play against the national team of a country that has invaded another country. And for this attitude, Poles deserve respect and applause.

Even if FIFA does not cancel the match, Poland’s decision will be historic. They behaved properly

The refusal to play in the match not only in Russia, but in general – against Russia in a situation when it invaded Ukraine and is waging a war, will go down in history. Regardless of what happens now. If the match is canceled and the Russians are not allowed to play, the Poles will be the ones who showed the best what to do. They will go down in history as those who made FIFA no longer wash their hands.

What if the federation decides otherwise and punishes Poland? It will just compromise itself! He will punish a team that puts moral values ​​ahead of success at all costs. There will be no doubt that it was the Poles who behaved responsibly and properly in this situation.

Polish footballers did not incur indelible disgrace. Together with the Polish Football Association they did not wait

And the possible lack of promotion to the World Cup? Not the first and probably not the last one in history. Let’s put it aside, there are important and more important things. Anyway, the stigma which Poles would draw upon themselves by playing a match with Russia during the war it caused would drag on for years. You just don’t do that. And it is very good that both the players and they were in agreement on this matter.

“If FIFA turns out to be an organization that does not want a bandit attack on Ukraine, then for Polish footballers the only option is not to play with Russia” -. I am glad that the Polish Football Association and the Polish national team were the first, that they did not wait and did not have to react to the FIFA decision. They did what had to be done in such a difficult moment.

Bows, gentlemen.
