Today Brazil v. Chechnya. Tomorrow Argentina v. Myanmar. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov along with Terek Grozny, Lothar Matthaeus and Oliver Kahn will take on Brazil’s 2002 World Cup winning team in Grozny later tonight.
You might remember Kadyrov from previous episodes such as being a militia leader and leading the slaughter of numerous innocents during his rise to power. He declared himself to be in excellent health and ready to lead Terek Grozny as captain.
“Ramzan Kadyrov himself will be the team’s captain,” Khaidar Alkhanov, the republic’s sport minister, said this week. “This will be a powerful stimulus for [the] players and a huge present for Chechen supporters.”
Dunga, Roberto Carlos and Romario will line up for Brazil. Bebeto, Cafu, Denilson and others from the World Cup winning team are expected to play as well.
