I would prefer to see the author concentrated in the main story. Sport is mostly inconsequential to the buildup we are creating. But if someone else wants to write an update....
If you want then of course, but please dont cover football as its already taken by @guywpotato
A. Vote for Trump, We are roleplaying as Russia, not humanity or the USA. So he is the best guy for us to run America. I am sure his eight years of rule will dismantle America's European positions, and we will be able to regain or increase our influence in eastern and central Europe.

Of course it needs to be Trump. He is going to cause major destabilization for the American Empire.
Euro 2008
Euro 2008 - a rising Russia in the international stage
In 2001, the Union State submitted a bid to UEFA, aiming to host the 2008 UEFA European Championship (2008 Euro). It would be the first major international tournament held by them, since the 1980 Summer Olympics, held in Moscow in the then Soviet Union.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the then Russia Government dreamed of holding a major international tournament in their own land, but could not do so due to restraints from their economy and political instability. However, as Russia are continuing to grow as a continental power and a rising star on the international stage, (Former) President Fyodorov starts plans to bid for a major international tournament to be held in their land, and that work continues under President Lukashenko.
Lukashenko puts his eye on the 2008 Euro, and has given full control to the Union State Football Union (USFU) for this matter, thus submitting a bid to UEFA for the hosting right of the 2008 Euro, after many discussions and modifications.
In their bid, The USFU has proposed 8 UEFA-standard stadium in 8 different cities to cater the needs of the fans:
Moscow: Luzhniki Stadium (81,000)
Volgograd: Volgograd Arena (45,568)
Anzhi: Anzhi Arena (45,379)
Krasnodar: Krasnodar Stadium (40,289)
Sochi: Fisht Olympic Stadium (40,000)
Minsk: Dinamo Stadium (40,897)
Rostov: Rostov Arena (45,000)
Saint Petersburg: Saint Petersburg Stadium (43,625)
They have also positioned their bid as an opportunity (and this tournament) to bridge the gap between them and various European countries.
Their efforts proved to be successful, as they successfully won the hosting right for 2008 Euro on 12 December 2002, making this the first major international tournament held in their own land since 1980.
Following the successful bid from the Union State representatives for the hosting right of the 2008 Euro, USFU are destined to make this a success. They begin to design the mascot for this tournament, designing merchandise, and start to spread publicity on this tournament, through the Tourism Board, and Visit Russia, their own tourism program.
Led by Dutch manager Guus Hindinnk, and with players like Andrey Arshavin and Zharkov Timofeyevich, a young and exciting USNT are destined to do big things, and would be the big underdog in the tournament. They would be placed in Group A as host, facing Czech Republic, Portugal and Turkey. They would eventually advance to the knockout stage, having 2 wins and a draw, scoring 5 and conceding 3.
In the Quarter-finals, they faced Group B Winner Croatia. They fight relentlessly, managed to stay the score 0-0 at the end of the 90th minute to go to extra time. In extra time, Dmitri Torbinski scored the only goal in the match to give them a 1-0 win to advance them to the Semi-finals.
In the Semi-Finals, they faced favourites Germany. They are heavily under the radar, as everyone thought that Germany would crush the Union State and go through the finals without any bloodshed, but as time goes, this would prove ultimately wrong. Bastian Schweinsteiger and Miroslav Klose put Germany on a 2-0 lead, as expected. Until… Roman Pavlyuchenko scored in the 82th minute, putting the score at 2-1. Even then, no one expected that Union State would tie the score, and even advance to the finals.
“Arshavin… dribbling the ball..and…Arshavin is going through..in the box..and SHOOT! ARSHAVINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! ANDREI ARSHAVIN. HERO OF RUSSIA. WHAT AN EQUALISER!! SOME PEOPLE ARE ON THE PITCH, THEY THINK IT'S OVER, IT’S NOT, IT’S NOT! THIS IS NOT OVER, FOR THE UNION STATE” - Commentary
Arshavin Celebrating after scoring the equalising goal
Andrei Arshavin scored an equalising goal at the 89th minute to tie the score 2-2. Phillip Lahm attempted to shoot, but was blocked by Igor Akinfeev. Referee blew the whistle. They are going to extra time. No one is expecting this. Within just 8 minutes, Germany fans went from celebrating for their supposed victory, to misery and confusion. Extra time starts, and Germany starts to shoot more, attempting to score a goal, but each time would fail, as Zharkov Timofeyevich would start to show maestro, being able to tackle the ball away whenever Germany wanted to shoot. But the score remains the same, until in the 116th minute…
“Timofeyevich is dribbling the ball…and…he seems to be looking to a direction…Oh? He is shooting in the air…pass it to Arshavin…Arshavin is running towards the goal…He is alone…Arshavin is sprinting behind the ball…Lehmann are trying to tackle it…Arshavin dodged it…and he shoots!!! GOALLLLL!!!! IT'S OVER. RUSSIA IS ONTO THE FINALS OF THE EURO. IN THEIR OWN LAND!!” - Commentary
In the final, they faced Spain, which at the time were the best team in the world. They tried hard, but ultimately Spain would prevail, as a goal from Fernando Torres would crush their dream of getting a prestigious trophy.
Despite heartbreaking loss, they would be hailed as hero when they returned to Moscow, and were granted to visit the Kremlin Palace, where President Lukashenko meted them and congratulated them of their success in the tournament, and awarded them Order of Honour, to recognise their achievements in the tournament.
This tournament would be a huge success, as Europe and the World has now realised the Union State’s strength and power through this tournament. The Union State's Government are certainly not satisfied with only hosting the Euro, they still got a bigger ambition in the near future, and certainly, the Bear is not turning back…
