There is new content available now, Russian Football Network: Over the last few days word has leaked of the Army’s pursuit of Sergei Semak. Apparently, this is something that Semak wants, telling Sovetski Sport, “CSKA is a team very close to my heart.” Acknowledging he still has a very on his deal with Rubin, the former national team [...] There is new content available at Set Piece Analysts: This piece may as well have a huge red-and-white bulls’ eye as the background image, because picking a best XI off a sample four games is a head-shaking task. With more matches, the sample increases, and it’s easier to judge, make cogent arguments. With fewer matches – say, one [...] Cameroon is expected to win Group D, but who joins them is an open question.
