[edit] First International tsarist russian game fake?
- finland was part of russia in 1912 so how could they play against russia? it would be like englands VS. devon or something of that nature. Pure inuyasha 21:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed. I don't see why pre-1922 statistics are included in the article, while the Soviet staistics are excluded. For one thing, Russian Federation is not legally a successor to the Russian Empire, while it is a successor to the Soviet Union in all its property, liabilities, etc. --Ghirla -трёп- 13:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- When recognizing the USSR, most nations recognized the USSR as the successor to the Russian Empire. - Sikon 11:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- It would be more like Denmark vs. Faroe Islands... Conscious 08:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hiddink Coaching Russia
Finally Russia get a good coach. What does everyone think abouyt this???
- Well, it's a little too late for the World Cup '06, isn't it? :(
[edit] USSR → Russia?
The official 2006 World Cup website has allocated USSR's records to the Russia team. See here. I would just like to say that I don't think Wikipedia should follow suit. It's not like Germany inheriting West Germany's record. They don't even wear the same kit.
I've noticed though, that Football Federation of USSR redirects to Football Union of Russia. Is it really the same organisation?

- No it's not, and there's a separate article on the USSR national football team. BTW I always wonder what the difference between Russia and Germany (or, say, Serbia) is. Russia, at least, is the legal successor to USSR. Conscious 08:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flag
Why does the template:Infobox National football team have the flag of Imperial Russia on games which took place after 1896? According to List of Russian flags the current Russian flag was also in use then. ⌠Yellow up⌡ 22:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
