carnival in Moscow as Russia fells
#1
Moscow hummed with the sound of car horns and pavement parties on Sunday as Russia celebrated defeating Spain in a nerve jangling World Cup penalty shootout and England fans http://www.shopushockeyonline.com/authentic+cory+schneider+jersey.htmlscrambled to join the carnival in the capital. [Image: nike_seahawks_943.jpg]The hosts, who are the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, produced the biggest upset so far by beating Spain, a giant of the game and world champions eight years ago. A ripple and then a roar passed through a 78,000 sellout crowd http://www.authenticramsofficialshop.com/Nike-Jamon-Brown-Jersey.html at the Luzhniki stadium, and http://www.canucksofficialauthenticshop.com/Kirk_Mclean_Jersey_Adidasas the Russian players stormed the pitch, the noise was so loud it hurt. [Image: nike_chiefs_679.jpg]On Nikolskaya Street, a pedestrianised thoroughfare near Red Square illuminated by twinkling fairy lights, hundreds of local people and fans from around the world strained to see outdoor TV screens in cafes. They huddled under umbrellas as the rain began to fall towards the end of the last-16 match with the score remaining 1-1 after extra time. When goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev made a save with his left foot to secure a 4-3 penalty shootout victory, the buildings seemed to shake. Many swung flags above their heads and others sobbed in amazement. Vladimir Kondratyev, a manager at a sales company who was inside the stadium, hugged the Brazilian man beside him. “I told everyone they were going to win,” he said as he walked out of the Luzhniki with the aid of a cane. “I never doubted them for a second.” The festivities continued into the night, with drivers beeping their horns in celebration and some leaning out of car windows to high-five passing pedestrians. The unexpected success of Russia has undoubtedly contributed to a feelgood atmosphere at the World Cup, and increasing numbers of England fans are keen to experience it for themselves. Their first knockout round match against Colombia here on Tuesday is being called England’s biggest game for over a decade by many, with expectation intensifying after the premature exits of Spain and reigning champions Germany. England supporters were scouring the internet for tickets and some online touts were quoting three times the face value. It is understood the FA’s entire official allocation of 1,520 seats has now sold out, which with Fifa stating that there are no Irving Fryar Youth jersey more tickets available means any other fans who want to watch the game inside Moscow’s Spartak stadium will have to obtain tickets through other channels. Up to 6,000 England fans are expected to make the journey to the Russian capital, which has been transformed by a riot of colour, music and good-natured rivalry for the past three weeks. With http://www.footballbillsofficialshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_PHILLIP_GAINES_JERSEY.htmlmost internal flights between the 11 World Cup host cities requiring a stopover in Moscow in transit, the city has benefited from a carnival atmosphere Nick Foles Jersey as Joaquin Benoit Youth jersey fans from all 32 of the tournament’s countries converge in the main squares. However many England fans make it to Moscow, it is certain they will be dwarfed in number and noise by Colombians, with the country estimated to have 50,000 supporters currently in Russia. A sea of their yellow shirts streamed past the red-brick Kremlin walls on Sunday, through the metal detectors and into Red Square. On a humid afternoon in front of St Basil’s Braden Holtby Youth jersey Cathedral, they gathered en masse. Some were from the capital, Bogota, others from Cartagena and Santa Marta, but 12,000km from home they came together in support of their team. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseyscheap jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys
