I just got back from the street, was anyone there????????? =))))))))))
I don't know how it was elsewhere, but here in Solntsevo it was a complete... well, it was just amazing =))) I think it was the same everywhere =))))
I lost my voice... I'm whispering this message to you =))) I'll post photos and videos later...
RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!!! =)))))))))
I think this is a strong claim for the European Cup. Personally, I am confident in their victory at the European Championship!
And regarding the phrase: "The Dutch, the Swedes... what's the difference?". There is a difference, and it's significant. I keep repeating that the team plays the way the opponent allows them to. The era of football Brazil of the 60s and hockey Canada of the 50s is long gone; there is no such difference in class anymore, and there won't be, especially since it's somehow awkward to compare the current Russian national team with these examples.
And everything else is just stadium bravado.
Everyone saw what kind of football the Netherlands showed, how they humiliated France and Italy. I'm not arguing, France and Italy are not what they used to be at the World Cup, but they are still world-class teams. We can only hope that the Dutch will score fewer than four goals and sit back in defense; otherwise, I can't imagine what they will do to Russia.
WE DID IT!!!! despite everyone... including the referees, who were OBVIOUSLY against us...
WE ARE ALREADY CHAMPIONS, even if we lose in the semi-finals...
P.S. I'm not a football fan, and I thought that after the victory of the Russian team in the 2008 World Hockey Championship, it would take a long time before I could experience such feelings again... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!! RUSSIA - CHAMPION!!!!!! =))))))))
