Stockholm was the venue for international friendly between Brazil and Ghana. That wasn’t an exciting remake of World Cup playoff match (remakes suck, actually) but CSKA Moscow striker Vagner Love scored the only goal.
You must be intrigued with these blue stripes interlaced in his hair. That’s come from his specific faithfullness to the club. He […]
Category: Russia vs. Estonia: Playing for Sevilla Makes Sense
By: Ivan | No Comments
Now it’s clear that playing for European clubs improves Russian footballer’s skill. Year ago Russian national team was like Italy or Saudi Arabia (closer to Arabia, actually) – all consists of home-based players.
And now Russia overtakes Estonia in EURO-2008 qualification match. Alexander Kerzhakov was the hero – he scored twice. This winter he left […]
Meet Sunflower Seeds or Things To Do in Rostov When You’re a Football Fan
By: Ivan | 1 Comment
At last I got the perfect illustration for popular action among Russian supporters. There are nor banners neither fireworks. There aren’t drums. Don’t even think of football chants. Face the reality: sunflower seeds.
Look at these people eating seeds together. They came to support FC Rostov with their mouths occupied. Maybe that’s why their […]

Good weekend
Leonid Slutskiy
Coach of FC Moscow was the triumphant of principal “manager derby” vs Tom Tomsk (read more here). FC Moscow lost their best striker but Slutskiy bet on young forward Roman Adamov and won: he scored twice. Lucky “Russian Mourinho” Slutskiy!
Alexander Gorshkov
He was a hero yesterday, sending cryptic insult to fans; he became a […]
It’s Good To See Your Team One Position Higher
By: Ivan | No Comments
Spartak Moscow can’t make up their mind to losing status of the greatest Russian team to CSKA. Club’s glorious history force them to win, win and win. They can’t even stand the fourth place in table after the first game and changed it to third! Spartak’s website published their own table where team takes higher […]
Alexander Gorshkov is smarter than Mark van Bommel
By: Ivan | No Comments
I bet you all remember Mark van Bommel’s expression at Real vs. Bayern clash in Champions League. But Alexander Gorshkov of Zenit Saint Petersburg is much smarter than headstrong Dutch - he didn’t make it so evidently. Ukrainian midfielder equalized in Russian Cup match against Saturn Ramenskoe and led Zenit to quarterfinal. And sent a […]

It’s the last post of season preview – to summarize previous and give you a bit more. Let’s dig into nicknames of Russian Premier League teams.
CSKA Moscow. They are Horses because their stadium was built on site of stables. They are The Army too – CSKA actually means Central Sports Club (Klub, heh) of Army.
Spartak […]

Season Preview: CSKA Moscow. Overlords
By: Ivan | No Comments
Location. It’s strange but the most successful Russian team of last 4 years hasn’t own home stadium. Jokes has it that CSKA must play at hippodrome – because it’s close to club office and team usually called Horses.
Team. Won 3 Premier League titles, 3 Russian Super Cups, 2 Russian Cups and UEFA Cup in 2005 […]
Season Preview: Spartak Moscow. Volksteam
By: Ivan | 2 Comments
Location. Spartak has a lot of fans not only in Moscow – they always were like Juventus in Italy. Every second man outside Moscow loves Spartak. The club was big throughout nineties and won 9 Premier League titles but didn’t gain much European success. Anyway “Spartak – champion!” is the most popular slogan among Russian […]
