Football World Cup 2018

^ Hear hear

I'm surprised the Russian fans haven't carried out some of their televised threats thus far or is it a case of still time yet, or has Putin put the word out that Siberia awaits those troublemakers and perhaps even their nearest and dearest?

The term for prison is "a place not so far from here".


But yea, the idea is that fans do not tarnish the event. To be honest I think people underestimate the hospitality we offer.

- " Places not so remote" - another variant suggested by Google :-)

- I assume that people for most part are adequate and aren't intended to spoil a cheerful holiday, no matter where it takes place - Moscow, Austin, Mumbai.. So I don't expect any kind of aggro. And I also think if some 100 young (and not so young) "football fans" out of 146 000 000 our compatriots are so willing to figure out who's tougher with some other foreign "footbal fans" - they can always arrange an appointment in maslenica-fair wall-to-wall-fist fight-style somwhere in fields out of 101 km cirle from the city. We have PLENTY of place for that. Not that it would be in accordance with the law, but at least they won't disturb anybody except cows and birds.

I understand but since the problems in the Europen Championships (Marseille) there have been a few tv documentaries regarding promises of future violent clashes in the World Cup so hopefully everything will be peaceful.

Cannot see Croatia or England being able to handle this super-cool washed-up French team.

Well if they make a goal and then block like yesterday, they may win again. Though it was not exactly nice or interesting, how they destroyed the playing fun.. almost like Germany played in the 1980ies.

I should imagine France are the tournament favourites now and rightly so

Would prefer a Croatia win tbh as it would be a first for them, (Considering France won 20 years back)
