I am from Russia. Alexey Smertin and Andrey Arshavin played in Premier League. Smertin won the Premier League with FC Chelsea. Arshavin was one of the expensive players in Arsenal. One day he scored four goal in one match.

I'm not from Russia. I have never visited but I would love to visit it because it is a place with a lot of culture and traditions.

I know that it is the biggest country in the world, its current president is Vladimir Putin, the country has participated in many wars, the country is quite cold, it is a very populated country, it is part of the European continent and the Asiatic continent and its capital is Moscow. .

I only know that two Russian businessmen are owners of teams in the Premier League, that's the only connection I know.

Russia did a very good job, the team got quite far and surprised the world with their performance.

Russia has different religious and it is considered one of the largest and coldest countries in the world. Early this month, specifically on July 16th the president of United States of America and the president of Russia met in a historic summit despite the scandals and rumors that have surrounded the president Donald Trump campaign in the way to become president. By history, I know that Russia is well known around the world for spying on other governments.

I am not from Russia but I want to visit that country because it have a lot of interesting places to visit like the cathedrals and know more about their culture, I don’t know too much about their soccer but they have some players in famous clubls and I thinks that if they are inside that clubs is because they are good players
