No I don't think it was the Americans but then I don't think it's to far a stretch of imagination for someone who deals in treachery to have screwed over someone else who mixs in more powerful circles to have decided to settle a personal score.

I would bet a lot that FIFA would not move the World Cup. This is the organisation that award it to Russia in the first place and then Qatar. Even harder to move it so close to the tournament itself. As long as Russia publicly deny it then they'll protest their innocence all along.
Why would they target one man? Because they can. They didn't need to target Liventko either. It's designed to be noticed. Killing someone with a nerve agent leaves little room for doubt into whose responsible.
I don't know it was Russia obviously but it seems more likely given this is something they've done before and they have the clearest motive here. If it were someone settling a personal score you can do that without having to get access to these types of chemicals.
