i really hope cherchesov reverts back to smolov up front, he looked pretty good on the ball today and was excellent against spain in that last friendly when they played basically a very similar starting squad to what they have on the field now also, LOL smolnikov, if someone was going to regress back to the mean on this team, it's so typical it was him vivisectvnv fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jun 25, 2018 |

Guardian has an article with some nice  quoteshttps://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jun/26/fairytale-over-russian-fans-uruguay-defeat quote:And the Russians knew the script. “I knew this was going to happen when we came up against a real opponent,” said Ilya Kabanov, 19, a university student. “It was a bit like a fairytale. The fairytale is over.” quote:But this was a decidedly Russian affair, a steady march toward defeat that should have seemed so obvious that it is a wonder why anyone dared to hope at all.

One of the worst games of the tournament so far but that was an admirable defensive performance from Russia. The draw is as easy as you could wish for so Russia could even make that ridiculous semifinal target (Croatia should be leagues too good for them tho).

You got unlucky with Croatia. As much as I have faith in Cherchesov and wish Sborna all the best, I doubt Russia will progress any further. I could see you overcoming Denmark, because, frankly, they're a poo poo team that got lucky. Croatia isn't poo poo, and I feel they had the bad game they were due just now.

vyelkin posted:Nice architecture, good museums, cool sights to see, pedestrian-friendly, cheap as hell if you get paid in a proper currency This is pretty much a resurrect, but how in the hell is St. Petersburg particularly pedestrian friendly? When I was there I always felt like the cars were aiming for me every time I crossed the street, and the only reliable time to cross was when there was a traffic jam, not even designated crossings and red lights felt like they kept you safe. Also add the traffic police constantly trying to see and take your "dokumenty", though I wisely didn't carry them with me as I had been warned this was basically just a hoax in order to shake down foreigners for money.

You did well, nothing to be ashamed of. I'm amazed what Cherchesov was able to do with this team. It also made me sad, we'll never see him at Legia again.

I wonder what percentage of people think that the Russians are still doping. They have done extremely well for the absolute worst ranked team coming into the World Cup. Suspiciously well.
