Speedway wildcat Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Lets all be truthful about last night Who was cheering on the Russians last night, I thought they deserved the right to get into the play off's on Thursday They was not a team just to make up the numbers as so many are in the past i hope they get through to the final as well ,they was exciting to watch I predict the final on saturday will be GB Denmark Sweden Russian ??(But most probably Australia in realistic terms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazaar3 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Sweden to get into the final ahead of Poland with Magnus K in for Lindback. I wish buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Ridgeon Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I thought the Russians provided quality entertainment last night! All action stuff and a real never-say-die attitude It also gave me an opportunity to come up with a new joke:- What do you call a Russian handyman in the Black Country? Denis Gizatullin Well, I laughed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Bee Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Could anyone have imagined the Yanks in Poland? At least the Russians will be on the pace, as opposed to Hancock verses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanozoff Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 They were really worth watching. I was cheering them all the way!! Cant wait to see them in Poland where they really can get it all wound on. One thing though, they always looked like they are were a second from crashing, I bet the other riders are terrified at having to face them come Thursday.

Saint Rob Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The race off looks like it's be a good 'un but I feel home track advantage to the Poles will play a part. I expect the Aussie's to go through and also reckon the Ruskie's will finish ahead of the 1 man team called Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21st century heathen Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The Russians were great last night. My Mom and Dad have told me that in the past they were always nutters. Some things never change hey?! They're well worth their place, and they might just spring a surprise if the 'others' don't take them seriously. How good would it be for World Speedway to see another nation (other than the now regulars) make the final?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 i hope they get through to the final as well ,they was exciting to watch Just tell me how?? They have no chance, it will be Poland and Australia or Sweden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SAINT Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 what a refreshing change to see some new faces "going for it!".made for a great evenings entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Witch Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Definitely enjoyed watching the Russkies riding last night, towards the end we were cheering them more than the Brits. Looking forward to Thursday now. Can I have an Eastern European avatar for the night please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralMelchett Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 what a refreshing change to see some new faces "going for it!".made for a great evenings entertainment. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spot on, they really made the effort and the crowd seemed to respond, so they in turn responded to that. One or two of them could be riding over here soon perhaps, they certainly seem like they could hold down an EL position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway wildcat Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Just tell me how?? They have no chance, it will be Poland and Australia or Sweden. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> poland are very good team but funny things happen at speedway (ie Chris Harris to win the British GP) i think that the Russians will either come to Poland on thursday really strong and supprise every nation who would of said that the usa was going to be last on the night but they was good luck to the Russians on thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Russians will be on the pace, as opposed to Hancock verses <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The russians are as tough as anything, they just look hard cases, as do most eastern block riders. As for the yanks, well lets be honest, tommy hedden? as he ridden here before, i know bobby did for sheffield a decade ago and well he wasnt great! , and charlie venegas was a belle vue class act, but away was useless!

Reviresco Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yes, I was cheering them on and also marvelling at their enthusiasm, bike control and machinery. Its been a long time since riders from the old Soviet Union were masked in mystery and competed brilliantly in the old Individual World Championships. 40plus years since Samorodov, Kurilenko & the brilliant Igor Plechanov finished on or close to the rostrums. I hope the Russians development continues and brings another country into competition against the top 5. And a GP or World Team Cup Final in Russia would be a brilliant event - moscow.......
