Americans would rather listen to what they are told instead of trying to find things out for themselves. They’d rather talk about Kanye West at the VMAs than things that might actually be important. As for Russian football, it may seem a bit odd to advertise a Russian football podcast on an American soccer blog. But if Kartik thinks its good, all power to him to advertise it and expose people to different football from around the globe and not just the US, England, Italy, Spain, and Germany.

Kartik-

It is nothing short of disgraceful and patronizing that you continue to link this show every week. You’ve now done it twice. If anyone really cared about Russian soccer, we’d find the show ourselves.

Thankfully, our fans are focused on our league and our national team and don’t waste our time with inferior leagues and a national team whose qualification record for major championships is spotty when compared to ours.

Lars,

Or that they may actually be WRONG about everything.

You’re 100 percent right. These people don’t have the guts to look at things from outside the US and question what they believe. I guess they would rather not hear the truth because they don’t want to be set free.

Roy, no offense, but Wales is a very good national team. You may not see that from their results or their FIFA ranking, but the team is filled with a lot of youngsters who gave Russia (who were unlucky not to qualify for the final of the Euro 2008 tournament) a run for their money both in Russia and in Wales.

Wales could beat Costa Rica and TNT. They would be a close match to the United States.

Cheers,
The Gaffer

Russia has 21 points from 8 games, compared to our 16.

They’re in second place because they lost to Germany. We lost to Costa Rica. There’s a slight difference.

Frankly, I have no interest in Russia’s league, or in the Sbornaya. But I’m able to skip over posts without whining about “insults”.

It’s not anti-American to look at the outside world. I’ve never understood why Americans feel that being involved and paying attention to things outside their own country is so wrong. Sometimes you can learn a thing or two, or maybe even find something that interests you.

Are we going to be subjected to this crap every week?
