Dynamo Moscow isn’t a lucky team. Really. Last years they were victim of fertilizer tycoon Alexey Fedorychev who bought a lot of foreign players and forgot about a good coach to make them play together. So they happily escaped the relegation. They’ve started new season without real striker and with poor goalkeeper - but somehow […]

Juicy was the fact that first was scored by Spartak charismatic leader and captain Egor Titov (video below). And second by Saint Petersburg refugee Vladimir […]
Meet Sunflower Seeds or Things To Do in Rostov When You’re a Football Fan

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!

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 […]

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 […]
