Unfortunately it's not quite the same for England. Go Russia !!!
Five of Russia's players come from Premier League champions Zenit St Petersburg and they link up automatically, because their players all know each other. They have so many from Zenit and CSKA Moscow. That makes them very strong on the counter-attack.
Russia are a very experienced team in defence and midfield, even though they are playing with their number 2 goalie.
Their 2 biggest dangers are Arshavin who is determined to prove himself after getting booed in England and Dzagoev who is
trying to get a move to a big club.
Now I understand why their main striker Kerzhakov is in the team and not the Porg.
