Russia: The next big thing in football?

Interesting article by Sulmaan Ahmad on the strengths of the Russian team. I personally agree with him on the ability of the Russian players but think they need to really achieve a lot more before being compared with Italy, Brazil etc. (even the current teams). They do have the core to win stuff but without it they could be just another of those 'Golden Generation' teams (Portugal, England). Let's wait, watch and enjoy.
