Since the Euro 2008 I've been living a love affair with the Russian National Team, whose qualification campaign I've been following with more attention than my own country's. I'm very sad that Russia fell to the 12th position, but let's admit: it's not that bad, after all! If they win the play-offs, they might get there again quite easily, considering that one unqualified team (Croatia) stands there and may be eager to give its spot to a victorious qualified one. Judging by the show they staged in Austria and Switzerland, Russians still have a lot to show.
