Russia are officially the lowest ranked team in the tournament but because they didn't have to qualify they have only played friendlies for the last two years which keeps their rating down.
The Russian team have collectively run further in their 2 matches than any other team in the competition has done in any other game. . .

Not that the World Cup needs to be any more farcical but this adds to it!
Can we discuss Ronaldo and Maradona?
