Yeah, i know - if you lost that previous match then we wouldn't have to play the match today, we'd already be qualified. But this is even better, as this match was in Slovenia, before our fans (i wasn't there though, i watched it at home), and it was much more spectacular. After the judge declared the end of the match i felt like it was the end of qualifications for the 2002 world cup all over again, that was the first time we qualified.
It wasn't a match for those with weak nerves though, i was all sweaty at the end although i only sat on the couch

. 2 red cards, both Russian players, the first did a foul against our goalkeeper, the second one punched one of our reserve players for returning the ball too slow. They got really nervous towards the end of the match. But we played better, it was a deserved win (it was 1:0 for us, and we scored that goal before the 2 russian players got sent off the field with red cards).
I know you're not really a fan of football, neither am i (i'm just a casual watcher), but i'm still very happy
edit: apparently he punched one of our reserve players, my mistake, i edited it.
