Attendance is the smallest I've seen.

 

That's cause Log isn't playing...fans only want to see him

 

True dat.

 

Anyone see the match? How'd they look?

 

Good at times, at other times average. Defense was questionable again, especially Shennikov.'

Arshain came on towards the 60th btw and was booed every time he had the ball.

 

Lol at AA getting booed...has the tubby little bastard decided where he'll be carrying his man purses for next year yet btw?

 

Ajax

 

He'll never live down those comments, at least not till he does something special on the pitch... which he may not.

 

Well he's not the first Russia player to get booed. Although in Zhirko's cae it was a small, but vocal, group of fans.

 

u-21. Russia 4 - 1 Poland. Real Madrid's Denis Cheryshev with two goals and an assist.

Now Russia has to beat Moldova at home to secure qualification.

Check out the last goal.

 

Thought you don't want him playing for Russian teams?

 

I never once mentioned him here before.

 

Yeah you did, you claim he's Spanish cause that is where he has developed. Now when he does good you want him to play for Russia?

 

No you're talking about Mrkel, the Kazakh-German who wanted to play for Russia before.

Never once did I say that Cheryshev was Spanish, I honestly only heard of him a couple of months ago when Real played some friendly. As far as I know he's been in Spain for about three years.

 

He's a son of Former player Dmitri, who played in Spain.

He was born in Russia but has been developed by the Spaniards.

 

Yea I just read that he started at Sporting Gijon at age 5.

 

Russia beats N. Ireland 2-0. Pitch condition was poor as was the crowd. Why they placed this game in Moscow is beyond me, and to top it off the u-21 game in Yekaterinburg saw a better crowd.

Portugal came back to beat Luxembourg 2-1 and Azerbaijan tied Israel at home 1-1.

 

Arshavin's loss is a big one for Russia, say what you want about him but he has that extra class that no other Russian player has had in the last 8 years.

 

Russian u-21's have qualified for the 2013 Euros after tying Moldova 2-2 and earning first place.

 

Some lovely bunkering by Russia and we're now clear at the top.

u-21's b eat the Czechs in the first leg 2-0 (away) and are pretty much good to qualify.

 

Nice wins. Hopefully they continue to play well.

Good game by he youngsters also. There are several talented players there that might be regulars with the senior team. Hopefully they develop.

 

Which review was this. I saw the one that UEFA made, but that was just like video and awesome music.
