    Apparently the Russian FA announced earlier in the week that the National Team would be playing a friendly at the Cottage against Portugal on 13th November. Not so according to Fulham:

    "Fulham had been in discussions to host an international match at Craven Cottage during the next International break in November," the football club’s press service said in its statement for TASS. "The proposed game had not been announced through any official Club channels and regrettably, due to circumstances beyond the Club’s control, it is not possible for the fixture to take place," the statement said.

    Wonder what the problem was. Pity though, I’ve really enjoyed the International matches we’ve hosted over the last couple of years.
