I was privileged to witness the Russian team in 1966, they along with Brazil & Portugal played a mini tournament against the hosts, the Scots national team, myself and a great old pal, Lindsey Kennard attended all the games, we were both just turned 16. We saw Pele, Eusebio & I believe Lev Yachin, amongst a plethora of great players, quite a few of them being Scots, Ronnie McKinnon, the most urbane & talented centre half, wee Billy Bremner & a host of others, Ronnie Simpson in goals, of course, Big Tommy Gemmel. Wonderful memories, we spent a lot of The Brazil game talking with the famous Brazilian trainers, we were stood right beside the Brazilian dugout. They were famous characters, and forgive me I cannot remember their names.

[@madguybcn]

cool In fact, best players of the soviet union where from Ucrania.

[@KPSS12]

No one ukranian are better than Yashin.

[@shpala]

11 out of 22 players on the USSR team in 1966 were from Russia. Interestingly, the same was true in 1970 -- 11 out of 22 players were from Russia. After that, the USSR team was predominantly non-Russian. For example, at the next World Cup that USSR qualified for, 1982, only two players in the starting eleven were from Russia: Dasayev and Gavrilov.

[@josephp8815]

Tavarish Lev Yashin

[@tickle296]

Lev Yeshin. No other goalkeeper shall ever match his abilities. History had been made.

And now you banned Russia. That was it, I'm not watching your cups again. Fifa you're too filthy. I hope some alternative federation forms somewhere and we'd call it the Maradona World Cup or something :D

[@puskasisagod3727]

I mean Yugoslavia were banned from the 1992 World Cup because their country was war torn and falling apart. Although the current situation with Russia is very different it’s still a country waging war on another and it’s the invader. Russia probably wouldn’t of qualified anyway.

[@MADGennaro]

@@puskasisagod3727Were the United States banned for Irak or Afghanistan? Or any of the NATO countries that sent troops too?

[@MtiuliBichi]

@@MADGennaro Why should they be banned ?

[@MADGennaro]

@@MtiuliBichi They invaded another country, but clearly the consequences for doing so aren’t equally applied, and no matter how much some people try to justify it, the Iraq war was famously started by something now widely recognized as a lie.

[@MtiuliBichi]

@@MADGennaro Sometimes they get banned, sometimes they don’t. When Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 they didn’t get the ban, when they invade Crimea and eastern Ukraine in 2014 they didn’t get the ban, now they got what they asked.

Какое поразительное уважение к сопернику демонстрирует Лев Яшин (да и вообще это было как-то характерно для того времени). Только что (4.34) Эйсебио забил пенальти, но никакого агрессивного проявления к нему Яшин не выражает. Они даже как-то немного приобнялись. Уважение одного мастера к другому!
