World cup 1958, Brazil National team coach explains a very convoluted and intricate tactical play for a goal in their match against Russia (then Soviet Union).
A very famous player - Garrincha, arguably one of the greatest players of early football/soccer - listened to his explanation and asked
"That's very cool and all, Mr. Feola. But have you checked with the Russians?"
(In English I think 'did the Russians agree' may sound more idiomatic)
