The Russians are noticeably unhappy about the result against Uruguay. And as Australians we have some insight here. Every episode Dean sends Tony a text with a suggested headline for the episodes, we did use "Seven Pelmeni Army" but others have been left off. Not for lack of talent, moreso practical reasons with the editor back in Australia. Examples from Dean this episode (listen for context) - Sterling misfires by Kane is able - The little P breaches the DMZ  - New balls please! - Old Honda accorded too much space as Japan salvage a point - Shakira danced around the Poles   And the article Tony mentions about Uruguay - Oi! Oi! Oi!
