Big Day! We got up and ventured to the Fifa ticket site on way to stadium. Scored tickets for 5pm game!! $150 each. Sweden v Switzerland Only a smattering of each set of fans. Very boring game. Great stadium. Built at excessive cost with backhanders etc…aren’t they all?Beautiful walk and surroundings. Oliver got a haircut.Made it back to the city for pizza and then the splendid tight fitting St Petersburg-slap-bang-in-the-middle-of-the-city fan park. Great setting with backdrop of beautiful buildings. Talked to lots of people and great crowd. 50-50 England/colombia fans.Penalties, then mayhem! Oliver danced with his top off with strangers. Read that again. So much fun. There was even random German guy co-opted by the England fans. Some good songs. I love the Vardy’s having a party one, and the “Drinking all your vodka” one has a good tune. “Who are you?” And “you couldn’t score in a brothel” raised Russian eyebrows! We then hit bars and I found my favourite beers! Brilliant. Then met a Sunderland fan. Click on the video link for that one!
