Since the breakup of the USSR, Russian football has struggled to show the level the USSR team showed in the Communist era; a significant number of the USSR's players came from the other republics. The team qualified for two World Cups (1994, 2002) and two European Championships (1996, 2004), but failed to get out of the first round each time.
