Great video! I would like to know more about how clubs were run. Not so much the teams affiliated to state institutions, but the union run clubs like Spartak and fan run clubs. How did they make the funds to pay the players. What was the player transfer system like, if any. And congratulations on Canada's world cup qualification. I like to see anglophone nations where association football isn't the number one sport have success internationally.

This is great man. Keep it up! Cheers from Argentina

1:56 Poland was not in the Soviet Union

Fascinating video! I was interested in the history of Dinamo Kyiv as I realized much of the best players on the Soviet national team during the 1980s were on that club. Special mention to Lev Yashin, a member of Dinamo Moscow, widely considered the best goalkeeper in history. The Russian Premier League certainly seems much more stable than the Soviet Top League ever was.

A nice introduction to Soviet football. 1 small gripe, you mention that Dynamo defeated a Bulgarian team, Ferencváros, they are actually from Budapest in Hungary.

Been reading a book called football behind the iron curtain really good but the corruption in football and match fixing was wild

Awesomee

This is great, can you do the history of CPSL / CSL for canada?

Probably better. It was the fifth best league in Europe once.

soccer is number one, man. Even in Russia 😁

*It's called football not soccer

Looks like beria and stalin realy wanted their georgian team to win 😏

Great video, really informative. Btw, you say C S K A as an acronym rather than a word.

Actually you can say it both ways. The CSKA badge has the Russian letters for "tse" "seh" "ka" and "ah", and this is why in Russia we say TSE-SEH-KA-AH, or SESKA .

FOOTBALL not Soccer!

Um... Poland wasnt in the USSR
