well Cdg is not a bad group and of course two teams qualify directly.

it is a group where almost any result can happen.

russia advantage is that it seems the team who have the strenght to lose less points at home.

but there is a huge problem:

russia played 3 home games at close doors.

 

Russia will qualify with ease, no way they don't finish in the top 2.

 

CDG, do you think Movsisyan will net against Portugal?

 

Kherzakov netted against Portugal so yes!

Kleber has already told us it is the worst Portugese team in 20 years (He only said this after Russia topped the group and was not saying this beforehand) but had no problems then turning himself inside out with say they got the semi-finals of the Euro's only losing to Spain and bigging the team back up again.

Portugal need Neto and without him they really struggle in defence, he has already turned down a move to Benfica and being made captain, he wants a move back to Portugal but only to one of the big 5 - Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Sporting Braga, Gumares and Maritimo.

 

As for Portugal Klebsy, is it because hardly any Benfica players play for them you have said it is the worst team in 20 years?)

I'm sure I looked at a squad a couple of matches ago and I think it was just 1 Benfica player in the entire squad! Not like Zenit where we have 7-8 in the squad and a minimum of 5 normally starting, sometimes as many as 7 Zenit players on the pitch at the same time!

 

This is an awesome group. Russia thrashed Sweden once before and could do so again. But the quality of the Russian side isn't as good as it was back then so expect a fight in both legs, could easily see both teams splitting the pairs.

Moldova and Lichteinstein should be straight forward.

Montenegro could be dangerous if they happen to show up, you guys should at least get the home leg.

Austria has some talented players like Alaba, so they could easily take away a leg. Shouldn't underestimate them.

Worse comes to worse I see you guys in 3rd. But I don't see you guys landing 4th, you guys are much more consistent than other group teams. My prediction is Russia to place runners up (2nd).

 

Not worried at all. We managed to avoid all the spiteful ex-FSU countries.

 

See you on March 5th. :musik:

 

Is that before or after Movsisyan's hat-trick?

 

With those 2 cumbersome CSKA Donkey Eeeee Orrr Eeee Orrr CB and a keeper who couldn't catch a bus if he arrived 30 minutes early aka Igor Icantmakeasaveav.

Anything is possible!

They are the weakest links of the Russia team, which team do they all play for again?

The ones with an army of fans.

The smallest army in the whole wide world.

 

Why would there be a fan riot kleber?

 

something can always happen with rus fans in mac,mon for example....

 

Agree with Slava, Farooq Smolov will outshine Yura "the Fuhrer".

 

I don't think so with those nations, but we do have some incredibly stupid fans.

 

you are in suspended motion ,any thing done by russia fans is a 6 point deduction.

 

If we bring along the CSKA Barmy Army we will have no problem.

There is hardly any of them and they are known as "Librarian Ultras" they are so quiet.

The smallest army in the World. Have you ever seen a 4600 Army before?

 

I wouldn't underestimate Austria. They are a better #3 team then maybe all other groups.

 

Austria are dog-shite, other than Alba they have nobody.

I ask you to name me 5 Austrian Footballers without looking on google? Yep told you they were dog-shite!

They haven't qualified for a tournament probably whilst you have been alive says it all and I can safely say they won't be qualifying for this one either unless UEFA change it to where the top 5 qualify.

This is a very easy group, Russia will finish top.

 

I doubt many football fans could name five Russian players either tbh.

 

You're probably right. If thye're lucky we'd get Kerzhakov, Arshavin, Pavlyuchenko, Zhirkov, and of course Izmailov. :lala:

 

Let's be honest here, Austria are shite and if anyone is concerned with Austria, then there is zero point going to the European Championship.

What next scared of Moldova?

 

Russia will finish 2/3 in this group. But by 2016 I do think Russia will have a team almost at the 2008 Euro level.

 

Not 3, 1/2 imo.

 

I can see them doing some stupid shit away. As I said in the past, it will come down to Russia's home form.

Hopefully we go back to seeing dynamic Russian players.

 

Best performance from USSR that I've seen.

Getting real sick and tired of this crap. I know Russia's a joke in the footballing world but the country might as well shut down the football schools, the league, hell the entire RFU if someone like Maicon is naturalized. I know there's nothing to this article btw just saying...

:stuckup:

 

And Mario Fernandes. roud:

 

Naturalizing Brazilians is what second rate countries like Kleber's Portugal do. Do not want.

 

Same here, although for whatever reason we don't have a problem with the coaches.

 

Few days late but pretty cringe worthy on Fabs' part. Part 2's better.
