Well, let's hope for the best as always and believe in a miracle; that's what we do best. And we can predict how events will unfold right now. Russia will, as always, drive itself into a complete...hole...and will claw its way out of it in the very last matches, hoping for Russian luck and Hiddink's good fortune, as well as for our group rivals to take points away from our closest competitor. How about this scenario: Azerbaijan beats Finland (taking points away from the Finns in a meaningless match for them) :D, or Germany...or Liechtenstein beats everyone :D. There are many options. And, lo and behold, Russia comes in second place. Germany is, of course, first. Although, of course, we want to believe that our football will become better, more beautiful, faster, and of higher quality, etc. That we will become serious competitors on the European stage...but that's just a dream. Although, why not dream before the New Year? They say that the most incredible things come true at this time. :rolleyes: But in general... In short, the group is passable, but let's hope that our "talents" don't start deciding everything at the last moment again, showing "valerian-style" football and making us hope for a miracle for the hundredth time...and for foreign countries to help us...:(
