Vladimer Putin!

Story on US version of Daily Fail.

Putin scored 8 goals in a glorious 18-6 victory.

I'm guessing the goalie wanted to avoid a mysterious polonium poisoning death.

Russia unveils bust of Putin as Roman emperor

Saint Petersburg (AFP) - A group of supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday presented a bust of the strongman depicting him in the heroic guise of a Roman emperor.

"We wanted to immortalise Vladimir Putin as a conqueror and statesman who returned Crimea to Russia," said Andrei Polyakov, the head of a group of Cossacks outside the northwestern city of Saint Petersburg.

Cossacks trace their origins back to horsemen who guarded Tsarist Russia's borders and are fiercely loyal to the Kremlin.

The imitation-bronze bust measuring about 50 centimetres in which Putin is depicted in a breastplate and flowing toga was created by sculptor Pavel Greshnikov using an artificial resin.

"The image of a Roman emperor is one of wisdom," Polyakov told AFP, saying it represented "the historic role of Vladimir Putin, who succeeded in reuniting Russia and Crimea".
