It's pretty ridiculous that Russia is allowed to merge with Bulgarie tbf.
If Bulgaria can't muster enough players then they shouldn't play it's as simple as that.
I dont see a team for let's say Portugal, Estonia or Latvia either.
Also why with Russia lol, Belgium had a training against Russia where Russia had 11 players.
Theres hundreds of active Russians around anyways, the "they aren't interested" - excuse is one of the poorest i've seen tbh.
Show some national pride ffs,
Or yea whatever i guess you don't have that then...
