3-0! The top team in the world preliminaries won again, undefeated for 23 consecutive games, but was suspended and missed the World Cup.

On October 15, 6 more teams qualified in the World Cup preliminaries, including England, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa and Senegal, bringing the number of teams that have qualified for the World Cup to 28. Seeing other teams qualify one after another and be able to participate in the World Cup, one team must feel very uncomfortable. 3-0! The team that failed to qualify for the World Cup won again, winning 23 games undefeated in four years, but was banned from the United States, Canada and Mexico.

It is said that there are no weak teams in South America, but based on the recent performance of South American teams, some South American teams are overrated. Brazil and Paraguay both qualified in the South American qualifiers and won World Cup seats. In the World Cup warm-up matches, Brazil 2-3 Japan and Paraguay 0-2 South Korea, both suffered defeats. Bolivia, which was seventh in South America and secured a spot in the intercontinental play-offs, also lost. In the match against the Russian team, Bolivia suffered a complete defeat.

Facing Bolivia, the Russian team's Milan Chuk, Sergeyev, and Sadulaev formed a trident. The Russian team's starting 11 are worth 74.9 million euros. The Bolivia team's starting lineup is worth only 6.85 million euros, which is far behind the Russian team. Relying on a better lineup, the Russian men's football team suppressed Bolivia in this game and created 7 scoring opportunities while Bolivia only had 1. With Sadulaev, Milanchuk and Sergeyev each scoring 1 goal, the Russian team 3-0 Bolivia.

For well-known reasons, the Russian team was banned by FIFA and did not have the opportunity to participate in official events. The last time the Russian team participated in the World Cup was in 2018, knocking out Spain and reaching the top 8. The last time it played an official game was in the World Cup preliminaries against Croatia in November 2021, losing 0-1. Since 2022, the Russian team has been playing warm-up matches to maintain its form. In nearly four years, the Russian men's football team has a record of 15 wins and 8 draws. In other words, since the Russian team lost to Croatia in the last World Cup preliminaries, they have never lost again.

In the past three warm-up matches, the Russian team has 4-1 Qatar, 2-1 Iran, and now it has defeated Bolivia. Among them, Qatar and Iran are both teams that have qualified for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and Bolivia also has a chance to enter the World Cup. The Russian men's football team is currently ranked 33rd in the world and has missed two consecutive World Cups. This is a big regret for this group of players in the Russian team. What makes them feel even more unfair is that Israel can still play official games, including the World Cup preliminaries. This is undoubtedly a double standard behavior by FIFA.
