Eastern European Teams
I’ve been pondering this subject for some time now and I still can’t make up my mind, so I’ll ask you all and see what your opinions are. What team, if any, is considered the biggest in Eastern Europe? Throughout the last decade or so, I’ve been under the impression that Dynamo Kiev were probably atop that region but recent competition has made me wonder.
