Last night Kuban kicked out Koeman's Feyenoord from Europa League, making it tradition for this stage as last year Anzhi passed through Vitesse and AZ in Europa League qualifications, securing 7th spot for Russia in top of Netherlands in country rankings.
Questions off in Europe now, Russian football championship is better than Dutch?

Do you really think there will be a fight?? it's already over. Netherlands better watch over their shoulders to 9th position Ukraine.

Just as a side note:
6 France 10.750 10.500 11.750  2.166  0.000   35.166
7 Russia 10.916 9.750 9.750 3.750 0.000 34.166

Actually if Russia could gain another point towards France, both countries would start at equal points the 2015 6th place race.

Russia after this season is discarding the quite negative 09/10 season, when scoring 6.166; while France is discarding its best season, scoring 15.000. France still have some edge and perhaps the means to defend its position, but IIRC France has now only 4 clubs left qualified into the GS, Russia has 5, and they both divide by 6.

We'll see.

Cheers!
