Russian Players on “Two Beautiful Chicks” per Goal Bonus
Now we know why Russia have been playing such an attack-minded game at Euro 2008. According to The Sun (motto: “all the boobs that’s fit to print”) wealthy Russian socialite Pyotr Listerman was filmed making this offer to Russian captain Andrei Arshavin:
“For each goal I’ll present two beautiful chicks,” he says to Arshavin. “Watch the guys react.”
Assuming Listerman meant women and not actual chicks (above) here’s how the Russian players are doing so far:
Since Wimbledon’s on, we’ll use Anna Kournikova to represent Russian ladies. And assuming Listerman is good as his word and it’s two women for every goal, here’s how many Anna Kounikova’s each Russian player has earned so far.
Roman Pavlyuchenko: 3 goals = 6 Kournikova’s

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “isn’t this all a bit sordid?” The answer is of course, yes.
But the offer goes a long way to explaining Russia’s win over Sweden, especially given the Swedish FA’s hastily assembled and poorly thought out bonus scheme:

When I first read this I was hopeful it was just a case of sensationalism by The Sun or The Telegraph commentary and completely false. However with Andrei Arshavin comments “There are a number of bachelors in our team, this is a great incentive” and the lack of denial by any parties this actually sounds real. All jokes aside its one of the most disgusting comments in professional sport that I’ve heard in a long while and has nothing to do with any related to the positive aspects of Football or the people of Russia.
