Just ridiculous really, Smertin is tremendously ignorant.
Russia should never be hosting the world cup but with FIFA in charge not surprising. Them investigating is as affective as Russia investigating themselves.
Russia, Qatar where next? Iran? North Korea? Zimbabwe?

@Mornstar so you admit you are an ignorant homophobe judging by your rating? Shameful.
