Championship for Dummies: 6 moments that made the World Cup in Russia unforgettable

Championship for Dummies: 6 moments that made the World Cup in Russia unforgettable

The Mundial that will forever remain in our hearts: unpredictable matches, Buzova’s revelations and the main disappointment of the World Cup inside.

Rejoice, girls! Cry, boys! Keep turning your noses up at those who think all results are bought. And although legends will continue to circulate about Akinfeev’s magic leg for a long time to come, and people on Nikolskaya will continue to pour beer on each other and chant “Russia, Russia” out of habit, one cannot but recognize the obvious: the MUNDIAL is over!

“The Croissants have regained the title after 20 years, Neymar has gone home, the English have learned to shoot penalties again, and the fans have shaved off their “mustaches of hope”. It ‘s time to summarize the results of the month-long soccer fever with Andrei Silkov, a resident of Comedy Club on TNT, actor and author of the creative band USB.

The most unexpected match

Belgium – Japan. The Belgians looked threatening from the very beginning of the championship, and there was no doubt that they from the very first minutes will start actively throwing balls into the gates of the Japanese. But everything turned out to be not so simple: the guys, who broke through to the playoffs thanks to fewer yellow cards, suddenly remembered what a counterattack is, and brought Belgium two goals.

The results of the match have long been known, but you have to agree: it was beautiful. And the fact that the Japanese fans and players cleaned up after the match only adds to their respect. Guys, come to us in August after Airborne Forces Day: there will be plenty of work to do.

The main opening of the World Championship

I don’t want to get into long arguments about which of the players is cooler, so my favorite is the VAR system. Imagine how cool it would be if you could use video replays in real life? No one would have such an easy time converting in the air.

The main disappointment

No, not Smolov. Although, in my opinion, that soccer Timati didn’t do well in the championship. And not even Vida. For me personally, it’s Leo Messi. And it’s not even about his unassisted penalty in the match against the Icelanders. At this championship he was much more visible in the advertisement of chips than on the field.

The bookmakers’ happiness

The 2018 World Cup has erased all boundaries between its participants. The Koreans destroyed the Germans (when I wrote this, I double-checked the match results just in case), and the Russians destroyed the Spaniards. And while the whole country was singing “Katyusha” in unison, bookmakers were laughing and calculating their multi-million dollar profit.

The best player of the Russian national team

Now, of course, you could start a fiery speech along the lines of “you can’t single out one person, everyone fought like lions”… Actually, why not? Guys, you’re a machine, thank you!

Olga Buzova’s new hit parade of thoughts.

She has rediscovered the world of other men! Although, to be precise, returned to the old and already proven – soccer. So now Olga is waiting for a proposal from Denis Cheryshev, and we expect to walk the whole country soon. To celebrate the new victory of our national team, of course.
