Put pressure on FIFA to cancel the Russian 2018 World Cup due to hooliganism
Russia's football hooligans only come for violence. This violence has been well organised, tactical and has already caused countless injuries to a range of fans and the public. Senior Russian officials have reacted positively. A country that supports this violence shouldn't host the world cup.
Igor Lebedev, nationalist MP and executive member of Russian Football Union has been quoted saying "I don't see anything terrible about fans fighting. Quite the opposite, the guys did well. Keep it up"

Allowing them to host the world cup puts countless fans at risk of serious injury. If FIFA and the rest of the world do not react to this disgusting behaviour we are justifying it as an acceptable part of football. Move it to a sensible country!
