Not exactly. This indicates the unpredictability of such an outcome with these few hundred players. Personally, I thought it would be a draw, but I'm not surprised by Rubin's victory (as with all other results of the round). I didn't believe in Zenit's victory at all; they have other concerns right now. And if Rubin's newly acquired players start playing well together, then someone will have to make room not only in the UEFA zone but also, possibly, in the top three, although it's too early to talk about that.
Okay, you've convinced me – you know everything about everything.
At least tell me your predicted top five for the 2008 Russian Championship, and then we can talk about predictability not after the fact, but now.
Because, guys, excuse me, but even I can say after the next round: "I knew it, that's exactly how it should have been!" Let's talk about specific things before the round.
