This politics entering sport is really sad. Russia lost to bad referee in the second game. We all seen Russia play and they have ALWAYS been weak either at the end giving up a goal or in the beginning being slow to start. The players all put in an effort, but Arshavin seemed out of place the second game. This doesn't match up with the party scandal. Everyone is entitled to having a bad day. The fact people here are displaying anger at the players, the coach, and everything they can shows how they are fair weather fans. I have a distaste for such people. You love them when they're good, but hate them when they don't meet your expectations. That's like me being your friend for the money. Not really a friend, are you? They lost the second game because Dedic was on fire. They lost it because they were being fouled ruthlessly. They lost it because they were slow to start. They lost it because the referee protected Slovenia from fouls but called Russia for everything short of breaking wind. In the end, they could have gone if they didn't give up that goal in the first game. That goal was given do to lowering their guard and playing easy while trying to kill the clock. In the end it is a game. I understand the disappointment of not going to S.Africa, but this tearing up of everything that was built is inexcusable.
