Golovin was the only bright spot in Russian national team. Smolov was worse than expected. Confederations Cup in our country without our national team - that's a shame.

 

you played 3 games and went out just like what will happen in 2018 world cup
russia has very poor team

 

It's our tradition:
1. Win first game - all country is celebrating and planning whom we'll face in quarter-semi-finals.
2. Draw/lose second game - counting chances, percentages how we can go to play-off.
3. Lose third game.

 

Oh, if your message was intended to offend me maybe - sorry for not being angry, dude)

 

no it wasn't
just saying how it seems

 

No different to us then are they.

 

It turns out I was wrong. Ok

 

i think the world cup in russia will be a big success though

 

I believe a lot of your players stay playing in Russia?

It's what I believe is one of the big problems with the England team, nearly all, if not all our players stay in England for their careers, in their comfort zone. Not being used to being all over the place, different countries, different styles, different climates and everything. I think travelling about and playing in a few different leagues cultivates players a bit and has them better prepared for international tournaments.

 

Big problem for us is that in RFPL number of foreigners in starting squad is limited so players earn big money just for having Russian ID (only 6 foreigners can start for one team). Average players earn 1-4 mln. euros a year. So they don't want to go to Europe to improve because, first of all, salary'll be much less and second - harder to get a place in squad. I knew that in England was limit to non EU players, but now with Brexit can you tell me what's the situation with it?
English players not playing in other leagues it's very conspicuous especially if we compare with Spanish players.

 

Sounds just like England to be honest

 

It also has a lot to do with the Premier League money, which has begun to filter down through our lower leagues. Clubs at the top have more money and can offer relatively large sums of money to smaller clubs for their best players. So even in the Championship you have players on more money than in La Liga and the Bundesliga.

The way the English game is, there's no incentive for English players to go abroad because they consider the Premier League to be the best top flight in the world, so they don't need to move. Most English lad's dreams are to play for his country, after that it's to play in the Premier League.

One of our lads, Sam Clucas, went out to the Glenn Hoddle academy in Spain and he turned out for Jerez Industrial in the Spanish 3rd Division. If that's had any impact on how he is now as a player then it's obviously a decent path, but another problem would be that other countries don't tend to scout our lower divisions as they have such extensive youth systems in Spain and Germany that they don't need to.

 

Especially for hospital staff, just think of the overtime.

It will be a disaster waiting to happen.

This will be one world cup I wouldn't go to, even if the tickets were free and someone gave me free hotel accommodation and air travel.

 

Thanks for complete answer! Anyway, your situation is much better than ours)

 

For Russian hooligans I agree
