I wouldn't have dared mentioned the Russians, after all in the first conflict match was abandoned because of slight disagreements within their own supporters club.
As for their involvement in the second a bit of a surprise for them when the Germans invaded their pitch during their dividing the spoils of Poland whilst licking their wounds from losing what should have been a walk over in a friendly against Finland where they had a team of something like ten players to one.
