Should the Russian FA face sanctions after allowing Crimean clubs to compete in the Russian Cup?
Yes - 74% No - 26%
Interestting question that, 74% say yes, but why? Is Crimea now part of Russia? Is so what's the problem.
Should the English FA face sanctions after allowing Welsh clubs to complete in the FA cup? same difference to me.
Just saying.

{Ed001's Note - just to point out, the Welsh clubs choose to take part in the FA Cup with the backing of the Welsh FA and Wales is not currently considered as a separate country by the rest of the world, any more than the Basque regions of Spain are. The Crimea is still considered by the UN etc as a region of the Ukraine, which is being illegally controlled by a foreign power, Russia. So it is nothing like the same, and shows complete ignorance to even compare the two. It would be more akin to Scotland declaring independence and the rest of the UK invading and annexing Edinburgh and Hibs and Hearts then entering the FA Cup.}

Never meant to offend ed.
Im looking at this from a footballing perspective not political sry I should of made that more clear.
Wales can play in the world cup so in footballing terms it is its own country.

{Ed001's Note - but Crimea are not a separate nation like Wales are mate. Crimea is recognised as a region of the Ukraine. Not offended, just pointing out it is not the same. The reason why it shouldn't be allowed is simple. FIFA have kicked out nations in the past for allowing political interference with the relevant FA, yet that is now happening in Russia and they are not even giving them a slap on the wrist. If that was an African or some tiny island state with little money, FIFA would have booted them by now. It is just proving that the only thing FIFA and UEFA care about is money.}
