The US is the only reason any country tolerates Israel in any capacity

Would’ve been pathetic to bend to the will of Qatar of all countries in a UEFA matter of all things.

Union of European Football Associations was pressured by a country that doesn’t have any right to say anything, by default. I’m not arguing if the decision was right or wrong.

How could the US pressure UEFA on this? Sanctions of some sort or another form of blackmail?

USA not beating the allegations. 😂

Why are they a member-country of UEFA in 1st instance ?

I…I don’t even know what to say anymore…this pisses me off to no end and I’m a (lowlife) American! (Feel free to make fun of me, berate me and even threaten me because of that fact. I more than deserve it for being associated in any way, shape or form with that shithole of a country).

We should look longer term at removing Israel from UEFA permanently. Genocidal maniacs have no place in civilised society.

Israel of course ; why are they not affiliated to CAF . I’m not that daft that I don’t know that the US are not a UEFA member state .

“The gesture was one of several moves meant to calm Qatar, which already wields significant influence over European football.”
Everyone on the thread talking about Israel and the U.S., but I’m surprised not a lot of people are as concerned with Qatar’s growing quiet influence and chokehold it is gaining and not just in sports anymore. A bit concerning as well that two nations [U.S and Qatar] that are outside of the UEFA have this much power over the board decisions.

Suspending (or expelling) Israel from UEFA was always going to be complicated at this point, with World Cup qualification underway. UEFA should have acted on this sooner.
But unlike Russia, the other European countries didn’t immediately refuse to play Israel.

Part of me says UEFA should just make a joint venture with Conmebol and ignore all the rest. Fuck it.

Everyone should just refuse to play them..and the US , too.
They’re both complicit in the genocide so both should be ostracised.

Apparently Qatar’s influence wasnt “significant” enough…
Despicable.
