Drama Rhearsal for World War III?

The rift between these two  presidents is no news at all.. . But I guess it has extended to that one language that the world speak, which is FOOTBALL!


Russian clubs will be banned from signing Turkish players during the upcoming winter break.

Relations between the countries have been strained since a Russian warplane was shot down by Turkish forces on the Syrian border, killing one pilot on board.

Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko told R-Sport news agency that clubs had "already got the message".

"If anyone wants [to sign a Turkish player] during the break, there will not be such a possibility," he said.

Though Mutko said the sports sanction would not affect the players whose contracts are still existing.

"Everyone who has an existing contract will carry on working," Mutko said.

"They won't be here in the future but at the moment they have contracts and these will not be looked into."

Mutko added that Turkish companies already involved in constructing stadiums for the 2018 World Cup in Russia would be allowed to continue.

The sports ministry has also recommended that Russian football clubs cancel winter training camps to Turkey.

Mutko has confirmed that Russian athletes will be able to participate in tournaments organised in Turkey, with maximum security ensured.
