Like most ex-communist nations, neither of these countries is noted for its astounding contribution to modern music, but it was very much the opposite case in the Romantic era when both were at the forefront of European culture. Curiously, the communist era was boom-time for football in both states, whereas Russia have struggled since independence and the Czechs have often flattered to deceive.
Czech Republic: Antonin Dvorak – Symphony No. 9: From the New World
As its title suggests, Prague-born Dvorak composed his ninth symphony while living in New York in the late 19th Century. Fans of my work will be delighted to know I once performed a part of the New World Symphony at music camp when I was like 8.

Russia: Modest Mussorgsky – Pictures at an Exhibition
Aha! You all thought I was going to go for Tchiakovsky. In fact, it’s one of the Mighty Five Russian nationalist composers and the one-man Modest Mouse cover band and his piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition.

No it applies for the rest of the matchday I believe. And the points get wiped clean, positive or negative. Also I'm pretty sure it'd be -4 for a red card + conceding a penalty
"I've got Kerzhakov, and thus spent a large portion of that match shouting at my television."

I don't understand how the massive amount of people with Cech in their team didn't expect this before. He's a brilliant goalkeeper, but without the quality in the rest of the Czech team, of course this was gonna happen.
