A "top opponent" has been found: the Russian national football team will play against "people from Pakistan". Hysterical laughter erupted online

The Russian national soccer team is likely to play a friendly match with the unofficial Pakistani national team in October. At least this option was announced by the head coach of the Russian team, Valery Karpin, who noted that he sees no point in such a sparring match.

"The match seems to be taking place, but it's not certain. With Pakistan. With people from Pakistan. This is not a normal opponent. This is my opinion, the point is not to play with the national team. There is no point in playing with people from Pakistan. There are certain procedures that the national team and the federation follow. Questionnaires are sent to UEFA and FIFA. And if the match is not considered a national team match, then there is no point. If there is an official questionnaire from the Pakistani national team, then fine. I don't know what will happen in reality," Karpin said.

Readers of the Sports.ru portal did not pass by this news again and ridiculed their team. Some fans called on players from their favorite clubs to leave the national team.

"We can also organize a return match. With the Pakistani national unofficial football team", "With people from Pakistan. Are they polite?", "You can put Russia 25", "The Foreign Ministry will put pressure from above, Karpin will swallow his saliva and play against anyone. In a totalitarian country, it's the only way to do it," "Army men, go home from this viper's den," they write in the comments.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, five national teams refused to meet with the Russian team in October, which caused incredible emotions among the fans.
