Confederations Cup 2017

Why is Russia so bad at football? They are usually successful at many sports and football is their most popular sport, surpassing even ice hockey.

This discussion was going on Reddit, and many people suggested that football is one of the few sports where doping doesn't really effect how good a team plays (alluding to the fact that Russia is good at other sports due to their systematic doping system).

The news also broke yesterday that the whole 2014 Russian team is under investigation for doping. This same team finished third behind the world class Algerian team (sarcasm) in the group stages.

It goes to show that football is more about skill than fitness, at least more so than many other sports.

In the other game CR7 scored his 75th goal. 34 goals shy of Ali Daei. With at least 10-14 games in this coming year (between now and next world cup) for Portugal, he can add to his tally!

I think it was only his 60th competitive goal though.

Is Ali Daei's including non-competitive goals?

Russia has dissapointed me a lot

same here but to be fair some of their best players missed the tournament because of injuries.. They don't produce enough talents in their league so they don't have the squad depth to replace those injured players properly.
