so as a usa fan, are we cheering for a russia 2-0 win? then russia can draw belgium and go in to the final day with a 1 gd lead?
Does Akinfeev know how to catch the ball? My fantasy team wants to know.
And this is the reason Vad hates him.
The gloves seem to finally be off with Akinfeev - the Russian press is brutalizing him already and calling for him to be benched. It doesn't help his cause that half-Russian / half-Greek Yuri Lodigin is in the squad and had a tremendous season for Zenit. I think it's pretty likely that Lodigin starts the next match, and Capello might be done with Akinfeev for the rest of his time as Russian manager if that's the case. Lodigin is only 24 and clearly the future for Russia in net.
