I was in the mood for something happy to share and I chose my subject to be Russia at World Cups. Bad choice, if you are Russian. Sorry.
They haven't been exactly lighting up the World Cups since the break up of the Soviet Union. So I thought I'd go further back and recall my memories of Igor Belanov and Oleg Blokhin, their stars (that I remember) of the 1986 World Cup team. But, oops, they are both Ukrainian. And, even worse, of the 22-man squad, 16 played for Ukrainian teams: 13 for Dynamo Kiev and 3 for Dnipro.
So there goes my happy feeling post. Bad memories for Russians, that's all I gave you.
