Would like to meet some of the characters here, but I suspect the very low average age of posters will mean they aren't financially independent and strong enough to attend.
I'm flying out next week.

Still freak memories from 2012?
That was hilarious...Russian fans celebrating with Russia flags in heart of Warsaw on June 12. For obvious reasons, it didn't sit well with local Poles. It was the only issue with that much-maligned tournament when BBC especially kept pushing the narrative that if your skin colour is darker than Joe Hart's or if you hug a guy in public, you're coming back home in a coffin. I still remember Sol Campbell telling everyone not to travel to Poland and Ukraine. Good times!

I have no interest in getting drunk and with pissing contest of immature fans. That's how you avoid trouble. I am treating it as a tourist trip, with perk of watching a few games at the stadium. I think I'll miss watching several games while there, actually . Too many other things to see, than wasting prime time watching Nigeria-Croatia for example.
I made a list of places I want to see in my 3.5 days in St. Petersburg...it'll be a very very tall task to see all of these, seeing the match day as well.

Those palaces look so crisp, I wouldn't blame anyone thinking they're computer generated.

Yeah I kinda look by articles like these and don't really pay attention, I know it's a load of BS
As to Russia itself, we don't like Russians here, the government recently decided to tear down all the monuments etc that were raised by Communists on our land and the general feeling between the two countries is really negative. But who likes the Russians though? lol
I would love to see Saint Basil's Cathedral IRL though, it looks insane on the pictures so it must be breathtaking to see it with your own eyes.

Is that Munir of Barca fame ?
No idea where Belhanda plays nowadays. Was incredibly hyped at one point
And ofcourse there's Benatia and Dirar.
Anyone from Morocco here ? @farfan ?
Half morrocan (dad is from Fes)
Morrocos strength is their physicality and defense. They kept clean sheets in almost every WC qualifier game, and they bullied other teams around with their physicality. In Africa, that's not easy to do lol

Poland lost Kamil Glik to injury. Apparently tried an overhead kick and it didn't work.
He was their best defender. Huge blow.

Dude is 30 and a CB. I have no clue what he was thinking trying something like that. A shame because I rate him a lot and want him for Roma. Poland were already heavily dependent on their midfield and attack. Now it's even more so.

I feel for Glik but that could be great news for us. Though Kane would have dominated him anyway.
