"The parade of idiocy continues". The Russian national football team has received new rivals, causing hysteria among Russian fans

The Russian national football team will play upcoming matches against the teams of Vietnam and Thailand. The games will take place on September 5 and 7.

According to the press service of the Russian Football Union, the friendly tournament matches will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, at the national stadium "Mi Dinh". On September 5, the Russians will play Vietnam. On September 7, the Russian national team will face Thailand.

The head coach of the Russian team, Valery Karpin, admitted that there was no particular choice of opponents.

"Were there other options to play in the national team? There were, but even worse. Sri Lanka, Bhutan, for example. I think it's better to play with the teams of Thailand and Vietnam there than not to play at all. Of course, I want the best, but it's unrealistic," Match TV quoted Karpin as saying.

In the comments, the future rivals of their team caused a real hysteria among Russian fans.

"An animator of the hotel where the Russian national team will stay has been appointed as the chief referee," "Not easy enough opponents already. We need Samoa and Botswana next time, that's what we need", "The parade of idiocy continues. It's not clear who needs their own team for some unknown reason", "They took an extra vacation at the expense of the budget. Well, handsome", "As they say, below the baseboard", - users mock.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Russia played two friendly matches in 2024, defeating Serbia and Belarus with the same score - 4:0. The national team played its last away match against Kenya in Antalya, Turkey. The game ended with a score of 2:2.
