Breaking News!
Russian star and veteran, LIOUBOV Chachkova Kilic SOKOLOVA, has announced that SHE WILL NOT BE PLAYING FOR RUSSIA NEXT YEAR. Are you SERIOUS girlfriend? If this is TRUE ( well we hope she’s just kidding when she said this at a recent interview!), then that means Russia will play in the 2011 European Championship without her (well Duh!). Oh NO!
Team Russia without Lyuba is not the same. We hope she will change her mind and play next year.
Unless, she wants to take the year off and then return in 2012 to prepare for the Olympics. If Russia qualifies for the Olympics, then Lyuba would make her 5th trip to the Olympics. For now, Queen Lyuba is focusing on helping her club team Fenerbahce win the Champions League after an embarrassing defeat against Dinamo Moscow (0-3).
We hope she is not retiring!
