Day -674. WorldCup2018
A few months ago I was writing about how politically awkward it would be if Russia were drawn in a World Cup group with Ukraine and Turkey. This after Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet and diplomatic relations between the countries plummeted to a "we don't talk to each" level.
Today President Erdogan went to Moscow to meet President Putin to "reset the relationship". Two countries, two Presidents, who realized they need each other as the Western world is a little upset with both of them.
So a group at Russia 2018 of Russia, Syria, Turkey would need a 4th friendly country to make it a happy World Cup family.
