When Zenit crushed Bayern Munich 4-1 a few weeks ago, I knew they were for real.

btw that team is owned by Gazprom, so they sure don't lack the money.

One cannot feel anything but sorry for the US are nil in football and American fans are reduced to support foreign teams. Must be a very humbling experience!
