Not notable list of friendly matches. This belong to the page of Russia national football team and does not need its own article. They are just regular friendly matches. Qed237 (talk) 09:53, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, any notable content can be covered by the Russia national football team article, or a sub-article. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:15, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and add the matches to Russia national football team in the same way any other friendly would be added. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 15:28, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and add to Russia national football team. No need for this separate listing that isn't big enough to split from main article. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:31, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per above not notable for it's own article, and not big enough anyways either. Furthermore, the info is mostly unreferenced and some is wrong (for example Australia do not have a friendly scheduled against Russia, especially not 5 days before their WC qualifier against Thailand). --SuperJew (talk) 19:27, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
