You would think being a president of a country would be tidious and time consuming, with summits, press conferences, travel and whatever else presidents do. However if you are Russian President Dmitry Medvedev you absolutely must tweet regarding a UEFA Champions League match between Russian side Spartak Moscow and French side Marseille and by tweet we mean laugh at the opponents.

Wednesday’s match in France saw underdogs Spartak avenge their 1991 defeat and sneak out with a win with a own-goal thanks to Cesar Azpilicueta. The St.Petersburg born Medvedev who is known as a supporter of Zenit tweeted on his official account that Azpilicueta played superbly for the Russian side. Oh that Medvedev and his twitter always stirring the pot! I wonder if he and PM Nicolas Sarkozy will have words the next time they are in the same room.
