Wendel wants GS

[naive ocean]

Galitskiy Park is burning because of severe heat

It's 38 degrees in Krasnodar

It was built by the owner of Krasnodar from his own pocket

[naive ocean]

Zenit wants 20m

[twin badge]

No they dont

It hasnt reached the point of fees yet so we dont know what they want

Currently its just contract talk before we get into pay

[naive ocean]

I thought I saw somewhere

but it will be around 20m

at least

Wendel was one of the best players of Sporting when they signed

so he's a quite solid, energetic player in the midfield

[balmy torrent]

theres no way zenit would sell him

atleast for an affordable price

[naive ocean]

yeah it will be 20~25m

[balmy torrent]

Galatasaray doesnt have the financials for that

I'd be surprised if they would be able to buy him

[naive ocean]

chuck in a few players

Corinthians did that

[twin badge]

You can have Tete

[balmy torrent]

I dont think anyone wants his wages lol

[naive ocean]

Russia might have friendlies with Syria and India in September international break

[balmy torrent]

tete will probably sit his contract out considering it lasts till 2027

[naive ocean]

Some AFC countries already failed to qualify for world cup and don't have official fixtures

I expected Syria but India... lol

At least Vietnam level

[twin badge]

It wont be a choice

We will drop him off in Russia then leave

[naive ocean]

lol

He'll never join a Russian club as he played for Shakhtar Donetsk

[twin badge]

Dont care take him

[balmy torrent]

they sued his ass

I dont think he would mind anymore

seeing Galatasaray's financial situation reminds me how underrated Ali Koç actually is

he's a dumbass, but he's a rich dumbass

[naive ocean]

Rich dumbass... Quite common

Ivan Ilic to Zenit is done deal. 25m including bonuses.

🇷🇸

[balmy torrent]

How are russian clubs still able to make 20+ million transfers

[naive ocean]

Oil and Gas

[green folio]

they are still state funded

[naive ocean]

Also it's Zenit's 100th anniversary season

[green folio]

and gasprom still owns zenit,oil and gas company

[naive ocean]

So they are spending a lot

[green folio]

that's the excuse

I'd say the reality is they're spending more after nearly losing the title last season

[balmy torrent]

I see

[naive ocean]

Spartak Moscow wants to win the league so they are making lots of star signings

Man Utd of Russia

[green folio]

to dynamo moscow

[naive ocean]

Rich, historic club with bad board

Dynamo Moscow is a fan owned club basically

VTB, the Russian bank withdrew investments to avoid sanctions

altho they still sponsor

VEB, another bank chose not to withdrew so CSKA Moscow is sanctioned directly by the US.

So they have additional difficulties to bring in foreign players

[long tundra]

Racovițan targeted by Panathinaikos for EUR 2.5 million!

Raków Częstochowa plan to sell players to compensate for the lack of revenues from European cups. Among the potential transfers is Bogdan Racovițan, who was interested in Panathinaikos, offering EUR 2.5 million. The 24-year-old Romanian joined Raków in 2022, played in 67 matches, scored five goals and has a contract until 2025. Additionally, John Yeboah aroused the interest of Venezia in Italy after a successful Copa América tournament.

Source: gsp.ro

[green folio]

and zenit isn't sanctioned that way?

[naive ocean]

Russian gas is not sanctioned

famously

Also, Gazprombank is not sanctioned since that's the bank EU countries use to pay the gas bill

💸

Russian gas and nuclear industry is not sanctioned I think

They don't directly sanction Zenit. Only clubs directly sanctioned by US are CSKA and Akhmat

[green folio]

at least for now

[naive ocean]

well football clubs are the least priority

CSKA are sanctioned because it's considered as assets of a Russian bank

Akhmat Grozny are... you know

[mossy marten]

Can be trade with some players

[naive ocean]

yeah but

I think they want a forward

Zenit

If they sell their current striker

[balmy torrent]

Btw y'all need to offload a lot of players cause of the upcoming 12 foreigner limit

[naive ocean]

12?

Are they changing it YET AGAIN?

[balmy torrent]

Yeah

[naive ocean]

Is the Turkic player rule kept?

[balmy torrent]

Now theres no 3 turkish player rule but the foreigner team limit has been decreased from 14 to 12

[balmy torrent]

Nah

@mossy marten btw does the blue card system apply to the 12 player limit?

[naive ocean]

So no need to keep Azeri and Uzbek players then

and Kazakh

[balmy torrent]

Like demirbay as an example

And eyüp aydın

[naive ocean]

Turkish players who played for other NTs don't count as Turkish players?

That's the case in Russia

[balmy torrent]

They do but they count as a blue card system

Where they used to count as turkish players in the squad but only one can count

So galatasaray had two german turkish players last season

Demirbay and Aydın

[naive ocean]

aha

[balmy torrent]

They could put demirbay in the squad and it would count as one of the three turks

But when they put demirbay they cant put aydın aswell

Aydın would count as foreigner

I wonder if it will apply to the 12 foreigner count similarly

[naive ocean]

complicated

[mossy marten]

I really dont know how it works

Zwoliński increases the power of Wisła's attack

Łukasz Zwoliński joined Wisła Kraków, leaving Raków Częstochowa after the end of cooperation. Marek Papszun became the new coach of Raków, replacing Dawid Szwarga. Zwoliński signed a contract with Wisła Kraków until June 30, 2026, after Papszun left him earlier. Wisła Kraków have already made four summer transfers, including bringing in Olivier Sukiennicki, Rafał Milkulec and Giannis Kiakos.

Sobczak shines in Arka, Wisła may regret

Wisła Kraków parted ways with many players this summer, including Szymon Sobczak, who quickly found a new club - Arka Gdynia. After leaving Wisła, Sobczak is doing great, scoring four goals in four friendlies for the new team. Last season, despite his good form, his presence did not prevent Wisła from continuing to play in the lower league, although the team won the Polish Cup. The decision to leave Sobczak was emotional, but his quick adaptation at Arka indicates that Wisła may regret this decision.

[balmy torrent]

player quality doesnt matter (not completely atleast)

[mossy marten]

they had players like kewell, viduka, schwarzer, cahill and all

[balmy torrent]

team chemistry wise they're pretty good from what I've seen

[grim widget]

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos plays there currently

[balmy torrent]

@mossy marten they're probably rated higher than us because we havent qualified for the world cup in 22 years lol

if we qualify for 2026 we're getting into top 20 easily

[mossy marten]

naa theyre statpading

[mossy marten]

who

shameless won against palestine

[grim widget]

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos

[mossy marten]

[mossy marten]

Aussies went to knockouts in Qatar 2022

[grim widget]

Baek is writing lets go

[naive ocean]

quite decent as a team

[grim widget]

My best friend

[balmy torrent]

turkish people care too much about individual player quality

[mossy marten]

[naive ocean]

Also being in Europe makes people overrate

[balmy torrent]

both Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray were comparing their own teams quality to the opposition saying how much better they were

and then we both got knocked out

Turkish teams perform better against better teams because we seriously underestimate smaller teams

[mossy marten]

being outside of europe they statpad as well

mostly

[naive ocean]

they don't get much points

for statpadding Mongolia

[grim widget]

Respect mongolia

[mossy marten]

if we compete in AFC we can qualify for every WC

and we probably play final in every competition

[balmy torrent]

if we competed in AFC we would definetly be WC regulars

[naive ocean]

that is true but all Asian countries have shown competitiveness

[balmy torrent]

however I dont think it would be worth it

[naive ocean]

in thr wc

[mossy marten]

ofc not

[balmy torrent]

to lose out on playing on UEFA for our teams and playing on EURO

[naive ocean]

S.Korea Japan Aussies went to knockouts

Saudis beat Argentina

[mossy marten]

😭

[naive ocean]

Iran was meh but they were in a tough group

[balmy torrent]

South Korea was a fluke tbh

Japan was really really good

[naive ocean]

It is getting better and better

[balmy torrent]

I think Japan showcased what Asian teams can do

I really liked them

[grim widget]

showcased what japan can do

[naive ocean]

Well we did what we could do in Qatar

[balmy torrent]

yeah lol

[grim widget]

i doubt other asian teams can be so good anytime soon

[mossy marten]

I think korea and japan are decent
They couldve done well if they were in europe

[balmy torrent]

Japan would do really well

I think Korea would struggle

[mossy marten]

we are similar level with them

honestly

and russia as well
If they didnt get ban

[balmy torrent]

yeah like korea got out the group but they were playing a portugal that played for nothing and their last goal had 3 back to back nutmegs lmao

south korea was lucky

[grim widget]

Finland is better than russia

[mossy marten]

Idk if we should consider russia as uefa team anymore

[mossy marten]

doubt

[balmy torrent]

not to mention Ghana subbed in defenders while losing to Uruguay 2-0 to make sure they take down uruguay with them

[grim widget]

Definitely not

[balmy torrent]

if it wasnt for that uruguay would be out the group

[grim widget]

they drew vs kenya and played way worse than them

[mossy marten]

they are still on uefa website

[balmy torrent]

I genuinely think we would comfortably beat korea

[naive ocean]

FIFA ranking is a league table of past 4 years and there aren't many international matches. So it feels quite different generally but it is what it is

[grim widget]

but we shouldnt consider them as a part of uefa

[mossy marten]

u lost to kazakhstan

[balmy torrent]

they do take friendlies into account btw

[naive ocean]

Also they weight continental competitions more so Asian countries can be higher than they should be

[mossy marten]

we lost to faroe

[grim widget]

kazakhstan>russia

[grim widget]

faroe>russia

[balmy torrent]

International friendlies count as official matches for this reason

[naive ocean]

Yeah but Nations League is a glorified friendly anyway

[mossy marten]

doubt tbf

[grim widget]

Without russia

[naive ocean]

There aren't many matches and friendlies are more important in international games than club obviously

[mossy marten]

with israel

[balmy torrent]

we're pretty good

[naive ocean]

It will be pretty similar

[grim widget]

It cant be a friendly it has belarus and israel

[mossy marten]

lmao

[naive ocean]

we also have a solid attack, many of them playing in top 5 league

[balmy torrent]

club friendlies arent counted as official matches, the stats in those matches arent counted for the record. International friendlies are counted however

[naive ocean]

yeah becuz there aren't many matches so you have to put them also it is more relevant than club friendlies

[balmy torrent]

yeah

[grim widget]

Unlike russia

[naive ocean]

Maybe not in Europe but friendlies get lots of attentions in other continents

like Japan beat Germany in friendlies

big event

[balmy torrent]

@mossy marten if we didnt have an absolute terrible run of friendlies before the tournament we'd probably be higher in the ranking but eh who cares

[naive ocean]

Nations League is basically a friendly anyway

[balmy torrent]

Japan caused two German managers to be sacked back to back lol

[naive ocean]

It's just UEFA helping lower nations to make fixtures

[grim widget]

They have belarus and israel no one is a friend with them not a friendly

[balmy torrent]

they sacked germany's manager after beating them, and they caused our german manager Kuntz to be sacked after beating us

[grim widget]

they also have balkan countries together so no way its a friendly

[naive ocean]

If it's a world nations league then I'm down for that

but Europe? meh

[grim widget]

Without russia

[mossy marten]

ikr

[mossy marten]

world nations league we can be there

papua new guinea vs

could be great

[balmy torrent]

probably not worth the effort lol

[mossy marten]

fr

but

i like the concept

the idea

[naive ocean]

Yeah Nations League make Asian countries hard to contact European countries for friendlies

[balmy torrent]

I actually kinda like nations league how it is rn

[mossy marten]

but yeah its almost impossible with like 15 hours of flyings and like that

[grim widget]

fifa needs the money for corruption no money to help smaller nations in travel costs

[naive ocean]

becuz it is important for our domestic league players

experience

[naive ocean]

yeah sad

[grim widget]

Russia is contacting european nations quite literally

[mossy marten]

i dont think they may fly even if fifa give money to them

[naive ocean]

It will be more of a problem for lower nations

San Marino can't afford a trip to Anguilla

and vice versa

[grim widget]

genius man i just said it

[mossy marten]

and also every game like 16-0 wont be that funny at some stage

but yea san marino vs papua new guinea

couldve been goated

[naive ocean]

it will be great

[mossy marten]

😭

[grim widget]

fifa could do that if they wanted

[mossy marten]

but they dont care

[naive ocean]

I don't like the format of nations league

[mossy marten]

actually millions can watch that

[naive ocean]

the overall members look weirder and weirder

[balmy torrent]

I like it

[grim widget]

They dont even help Marshall Islands FA to start football in the country

[mossy marten]

Gibraltar vs North Korea

imagine

[mossy marten]

heard that name first time

[grim widget]

Would be some fifa boss hourly salary that could help football in Marshall Islands for years

[balmy torrent]

bro dont know about Marshall islands

[naive ocean]

they are not member of FIFA anywah

[grim widget]

theyre playing their first international match ever next week

however its a futsal game so not really football

theyre trying to join FIFA in the future as well

[mossy marten]

only marshall i know was from usa
And marshall boya from uefa cup final shirt

[balmy torrent]

Marshall boya is the reason I even know about Marshall Islands lmao

[naive ocean]

I want FIFA to accept more members

They don't want to accept new FAs

[balmy torrent]

I dont remember from where but I think it was like a fun fact video or whatever

[mossy marten]

[naive ocean]

Greenland can be a member of CONCACAF but idk about FIFA

[mossy marten]

wait let me flex

[mossy marten]

did they

wait

[naive ocean]

they are trying to apply

[grim widget]

Spongebob Squarepants place is in Marshall Islands

[balmy torrent]

isnt greenland owned

[naive ocean]

they don't have a stadium that fit

[mossy marten]

Who owns greenland rn

[naive ocean]

Denmark

[grim widget]

faroe islands is in uefa too

[balmy torrent]

denmark

[balmy torrent]

who are they owned by

[grim widget]

denmark

[balmy torrent]

I didnt know they were owned by someone

[balmy torrent]

damn

[naive ocean]

They have their own passport though

[balmy torrent]

Faroe Islands mentioned

we lost to them 2-1 in 2022 lol

[mossy marten]

stop lying lil buddy
Its in Türkiye, Şile

[naive ocean]

OoO

[grim widget]

no its Bikini Bottom, Marshall Islands

[mossy marten]

cap

[naive ocean]

I want more non-sovereign state FAs in FIFA

[mossy marten]

i dont know if i want or not

[naive ocean]

Imagine Northern Cyprus in UEFA

[mossy marten]

because if i want KKTC its fine
But then we have kurdistan possibility

[naive ocean]

and Gournsey

idk how to spell ot

[balmy torrent]

not like they would particularly do anything

[mossy marten]

so i dont want

[balmy torrent]

nah kurdistan wouldnt be possible

[grim widget]

Guernsey but u blocked me so u cant see

[balmy torrent]

they dont even have land

[mossy marten]

https://tenor.com/view/trump-trump-dance-trump-dancing-party-time-oh-yeah-gif-5344070769048991943

[balmy torrent]

however Artsakh FC would be possible lol

[naive ocean]

They can participate as Iraqi Kurdistan or idk

[mossy marten]

if trump comes he will stop

[naive ocean]

They have their autonomy in Iraq

[mossy marten]

oh no

[naive ocean]

They did exist in Armenian league

Idk if they still do

[mossy marten]

Qarabağ vs Artsakh derby

[grim widget]

we should get Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta to FIFA

[mossy marten]

imagine

[naive ocean]

They participated in Armenian 2nd tier while hosting their game in Qarabag

they sometimes switched to Artsakh's own league

[balmy torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-5099501693730168061

[naive ocean]

and came back to Armenia

[mossy marten]

https://tenor.com/view/aliyev-demir-yumruq-ilham-aliyev-demir-yumruk-gif-22530849

[naive ocean]

idk if they still exist

FC Lernayin Artsakh

[grim widget]

they play in the second tier

[mossy marten]

Trabzonspor vs Iraqi Kurdistan FC

[grim widget]

they played in the first tier only like 2 season ago

[mossy marten]

we will be there

[naive ocean]

Iraqi Kurdistan will be in AFC anyway

Club world cup? lol

[balmy torrent]

well If FIFA accepted non-sovereign state FAs Artsakh could probably form their own national team

[mossy marten]

“Friendly”

😭

[balmy torrent]

which is why I dont want something like that

[naive ocean]

more like hostiles

[grim widget]

Russia

[naive ocean]

there are already teams like Faore Islands, Montserrat, New Caledonia so I think it's unfair for other overseas territories etc.

[mossy marten]

ironically
Our relations with Iraqi kurdistan is so good
Idk
As long as they dont want a state
All fine

[naive ocean]

regardless of politics

[balmy torrent]

not really similar

[mossy marten]

guys
Btw

saudis are improving hear me out

[grim widget]

no

[mossy marten]

Look at that

[naive ocean]

Well Gibraltar can be in FIFA why not Greenland

[mossy marten]

ad

they are getting modernised

fr

[naive ocean]

it is unfair for them

[balmy torrent]

I'm not particularly opposing Greenland

I just said in general

[mossy marten]

and if prince salman keeps that way

[grim widget]

Looks ugly

[mossy marten]

they could improve

[naive ocean]

Saudi Arabia are in crucial moment. Can those Saudis players learn from those star players and managers about modern football?

[mossy marten]

bruh
Look at that girls
Could you imagine that like 10 years ago

[naive ocean]

Becuz that's the sports reason they are spending a lot

[mossy marten]

theyre getting freedom

and if a country getting freedom
It should reflect to sports good as well

[balmy torrent]

they are modernizing because they realized that its bad for business to not to lol

[mossy marten]

yea but hope that jihadists dont stop the prince

[naive ocean]

They are getting better definitely

Just Western countries are not satisfied with the speed of it

So keep making only bad news

[mossy marten]

meanwhile we are going to wrong way

[naive ocean]

I'm not going into that

[balmy torrent]

we're fine tbh

social controversy aside law wise we ain't gonna go back

[mossy marten]

Yea but we lost something
Compared to 100 years back

but anyways

we got this

still

[balmy torrent]

lost what

[mossy marten]

despite

[mossy marten]

level of secularism

[naive ocean]

well they should have land or something. That's in ConIFA regulation as well.

[balmy torrent]

yeah somewhat

[balmy torrent]

should be fine though

[naive ocean]

ConIFA also has diaspora FAs tho

Like Armenians in Argentina National Team

They can have that in all countries I guess

lol

[balmy torrent]

they have a really small amount of land currently

[naive ocean]

they don't exist anymore I thought

Azeris won

[mossy marten]

that was our level in 1930s
First country to give women election rights and all
I wont go into deep
But we shouldve been at a better place rn

[grim widget]

no finland was

[balmy torrent]

they signed a Russian imposed peace deal which retained them a tiny land in the middle of the region

[mossy marten]

[mossy marten]

https://blog.oup.com/2012/02/turkey-women-vote/

[naive ocean]

well we are far from football rn

[mossy marten]

ikr

[naive ocean]

I just talked about non-sovereign state FAs should be able to join FIFA

XD

like Isle of Man

[balmy torrent]

tbh this topic is susceptible to go out of topic really fast aswell

[naive ocean]

🇮🇲

[mossy marten]

Anyways at least we gave the election rights earlier than most of the western countries

except finland

[naive ocean]

well overseas territories deserve it

[balmy torrent]

Official, There will be a signing ceremony for new transfers Levent Mercan, Çağlar Söyüncü, Oğuz Aydın, Cenk Tosun, Allan Saint-Maximin and extended players Mert Hakan Yandaş and Ertuğrul Çetin at 18.45 today in our stadium.

[mossy marten]

https://tenor.com/view/atatürk-gif-3679528876894724113

[naive ocean]

if they have controversial status or contiguous border or are unrecognized state then it will be harder

[mossy marten]

who

we should make a friendly game with syria

after we made peace with sayın esad

[naive ocean]

hehe

Syria will have with Russia, Russian media says

[mossy marten]

ykw

[balmy torrent]

The black one isnt a gk kit btw

[mossy marten]

[vagrant rock]

The purple one looks good ngl

[balmy torrent]

bro ngl they look really bad

no offense

[mossy marten]

for gk kit its good ig

idk

[balmy torrent]

nah gk or not its just

too much eye candy

[mossy marten]

[balmy torrent]

keep it simple

[mossy marten]

thats adidas template

[vagrant rock]

Its the adidas ones

Just like the euros gk kits

[mossy marten]

spain gk also wear that

yea

[vagrant rock]

And our regular kits are made the same as the euro ones

Like same knitting design ig

I have euro germany kit, its very nice to wear

[mossy marten]

wait
Did u see the news
Amrabat —> fb
Rabiot —> gs

[balmy torrent]

yes

I'm doubtful of both

[vagrant rock]

Which amrabat

[mossy marten]

adidas shirts are quality
But i dont like the designs

[mossy marten]

sofyan

[vagrant rock]

Yeah he didnt anything at yanited tbh

[balmy torrent]

puma shirts look nice but they are pretty low quality

[mossy marten]

Ikr
Even for city

[balmy torrent]

I think Nike is the best

[mossy marten]

probably

[balmy torrent]

though for our country it's not sustainable with inflation

[mossy marten]

but i like kappa and macron as well

[balmy torrent]

cause they be expensive

[vagrant rock]

I really like our away shirt design

[balmy torrent]

bro the shirt I bought just last season has started to

well I dont know how to translate so

formanın altındaki ipler kopmaya başladı şimdiden

[vagrant rock]

Decompose?

[balmy torrent]

it hasnt even been a year since I bought it

Puma shirts are really poor when it comes to actual material quality

[mossy marten]

Guys dont laugh at me

but

i have zimbabwe umbro shirt

and

probably most quality one

[vagrant rock]

What strings?

[mossy marten]

all nikes adidas gala and nt shirts

[vagrant rock]

Like what holds the shirt in one piece?

[balmy torrent]

string isnt an accurate translation I dont think

[vagrant rock]

Google😭

[balmy torrent]

there is knitting on the bottom of the shirt

[vagrant rock]

Ah

[balmy torrent]

it doesnt really hold it together that much cause its still glued together but it helps protect the aesthetic

[mossy marten]

bought that for 10 euro
😭

and amazing quality

fr

[vagrant rock]

Yeah it do happen sometimes, didnt happen on a football jersey for me tho

Im probably buying the new away shirt at the stadium

Im going this saturday for a game

[balmy torrent]

I'm not buying new jerseys for the considerable future

too expensive plus I like mine

[mossy marten]

i will buy tshirt

[naive ocean]

https://stingz.co/collections/football-shirts/products/replica-yap-football-away

[balmy torrent]

hopefully it doesnt start deteriorating

[naive ocean]

If you are a true kit collector, you should buy this one

Yap State away kit

[vagrant rock]

I mean i know the money goes to the club so i dont mind paying full price

[naive ocean]

Yap is a one of the four states of Micronesia

🇫🇲

[mossy marten]

looking better than shirts tbf

[balmy torrent]

way too lame

I really like y'alls white shirt this season

and thats it

[mossy marten]

idk i like this one

🤷‍♂️

[balmy torrent]

theres literally nothing in it lol

its just

black

[mossy marten]

plain and simple

[balmy torrent]

way too simple

could've used some gradient in the background

[mossy marten]

and the back

idk i like plain designs more

this one gives me headache
Despite i should accept that looks not bad on the pitch

[balmy torrent]

I think the whole zig zag effect was extremely unnecessary

[mossy marten]

ikr
Plain red stripes would be good on that

[naive ocean]

It shows ENERGY

Innit

[mossy marten]

idk

puma doesnt know as well

probably

just random designs

[balmy torrent]

Kits this year are really poor imo for both teams

[mossy marten]

Indeed

[balmy torrent]

This looks even worse on the pitch

[mossy marten]

yea i saw

[naive ocean]

diagonal stripes

ew

[balmy torrent]

It looked awful watching it in the friendly

[balmy torrent]

They can work but it was really badly utilized here

Also the pattern is weird

It goes two stripes and empty space, two stripes and empty spave

[mossy marten]

same for colors
Ig blue lines shouldve been lighter
And that couldve created a good contrast

[balmy torrent]

Rather than just a normal stripe and small space pattern

[naive ocean]

Dunamo Makhachkala to release their new kit

Team of Khabib

[mossy marten]

hasbula

joma kits with nike shoes

[balmy torrent]

The bad pattern causes there to be only one stripe in the bottom of the shirt

[mossy marten]

wow Büyükekşi just said that TFF youtube channel will stream all of League 2 and League 3 games each week
What a promise

😹

[naive ocean]

Lokomotiv vs Akron

It probably doesn't generate any revenue at all so no one was willing to buy the rights for it no matter how cheap it is to acquire

[naive ocean]

In their first home game of the season, they play the Russian National Anthem. If they are based on a city in one of the republics in Russia, they play that anthem as well

[balmy torrent]

[naive ocean]

Rubin Kazan plays both Russia and Tatarstan anthem

Akhmat plays Russia and Chechnya

[balmy torrent]

Gonna be an ugly season
