You mean the one that beat England 2-1?
And the result against Spain - yeah, Spain won but it was nowhere near as lopsided as the scoresheet suggests. That game could have easily been a draw.
Russia are playing to their strengths - speed and energy and Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko. They are young, they almost all play for the same handful of Russian clubs and know one another well.
I wonder how many bids will be made by big clubs in England, Spain, Germany and Italy for some of these Russian tyros? That Kolodin can hit a football.
