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 can miss trainings because of Brazilian carnaval featuring his sister but will play with CSKA colors on his head even for the National team. Good boy Vagner.

Russia vs. Estonia: Playing for Sevilla Makes Sense

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 Zenit Saint Petersburg for Sevilla and quickly became a real joker striker for Andalusian team. His motto always was “shot, shoot and will shoot” and he proved it with wonderful strike from the edge of the box.
