FKS World Cup Soccer Stars - Mexico 70

England Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Czech'a El Salv'r Israel Italy Mexico Morocco Peru Rumania Russia Sweden Uruguay W. Ger.

Russia

The FKS album refers to this team as 'Russia', though I suspect they competed as U.S.S.R. (or CCCP in Cyrillic).

Russia began the tournament with the difficult lead off game against the hosts. They came away with a 0-0 draw. In their next games they defeated Belgium 4-1 then El Salvador 2-0 to top the group over Mexico on goal difference.

In their Quarter Final game they lost 1-0 to Uruguay in an upset.

Scorers: Byshovets (4), Asatiani, Khmelnetsky.
