Let's see how the clueless Greeks and the dense Slovenians will kick the ball back and forth, standing opposite each other.

Or maybe we won't!

:smile51: I want to write a lot of words, but the moderators will delete them:smile51: :smile51: :smile51:

and I will write...
Damn it!!!!!!!! the referee is an idiot... to hell with Norway, for letting such assholes in yellow jerseys onto the field.. !!:mad:

P.S. right now there's probably a dialogue between the presidents of Russia and Slovenia...

-Goodbye, President of Russia
-Goodbye, ball boy of Shinnik (c)

I have a headache. And I won't be going to work for a week. I'm tired of everything.

Too bad, really too bad...
But the judge is also good in some aspects.

Dear Sirs,

Who else should we blame for the Russian team's defeat, if not the referee?

Sincerely,
Gur

No, the referee wasn't to blame. Kerzhakov's dismissal was justified. He made a dangerous movement with his leg. He could have kicked the goalkeeper in the face with his boot. They were the ones to blame. There was no game yesterday. What a pity. If they had reached their peak form in the summer, it would have been a fairy tale... like in the European Championship.

The goalkeeper released the ball, so the forward tried to follow up. He didn't touch the goalkeeper! You can understand the yellow card, perhaps for dangerous play, but a red card is an overreaction. He couldn't have hit him in the face because he was shooting at the ball, which was close to his chest. But the fact that Kerzhakov was then hit in the face – that's a fact. And he only received a yellow card for that.

As for the team's performance, they didn't show their best yesterday, but generally, at the moment when they started to dominate, they received a red card for their only forward, who had also come on as a substitute. At the same time, they recovered and even started creating chances at the opponent's goal. Of course, there were big holes in their own defense, but they were still playing with 10 men. Therefore, the game was in Russia's favor, not the strongest or most confident, but it was theirs.

Football players asked Hiddink to stay with the national team.
During the flight from Maribor to Moscow, the players of the Russian national team approached Guus Hiddink together and informed him of their desire to continue working under his leadership, despite the failure in the 2010 World Cup qualifying cycle.

"Right now, we are all deeply disappointed. We failed to achieve what we were striving for. But when a team unites in such a moment, it becomes clear that it is a single team. I am pleased that the team came to talk to me. I am grateful to them for that," Guus Hiddink commented on the position of his players.

Q.E.D.;)
..........

If he stays, Russia will win Euro 2012. Although I was hoping for medals at the 2010 World Cup...

By the way, I saw an article on one of the websites that said Gus has exhausted his potential for Russia. =[br][/br]

I mostly agree about Arshavin, but not about Hiddink.

Why was a red card given here?

Also, it's worth noting that during the match, someone from the Slovenian fans threw a folding knife at Akinfeev!

I heard it was actually a lighter...

I heard it was a lighter...

They also say it was a knife. I can't say for sure. Besides, our Federation probably won't file any appeals anyway... =/

They also say that it was a knife. I wouldn't make a definite statement. Besides, our Federation is unlikely to file any appeals anyway...

Why not file an appeal? I'm looking for a link to that moment, but I can't find it. Does anyone have it?

Why not submit a complaint?

Because it's Mutko. He doesn't need it; he's a bureaucrat.

By the way, we weren't the only ones who had "luck" with the referee. The French scored their goal in extra time using their hands! And there was also a Scandinavian referee there.
