Excited About the World Cup?



Are you excited about the World Cup? I know I am! It is fascinating to watch the atmosphere at matches in different locations. Since 2006 the FanFest has been one of the best things that have happened to modern FIFA world cups. I simply enjoy seeing so many fans showing up with their flags, their chants, their customs to support their countrymen. It is an spectacular ambiance.

I know I am excited about the World Cup, and my schedule of things to do simply has to be done around the matches. I have seen the surprises so far such as Iceland being able to stop Messi and Argentina. And who would have thought that Mexico would finally be able to defeat Germany or that Brazil one of the favorites was going to be stopped by Switzerland.

Cristiano was amazing against Spain though both teams tied 3-3 and walk away with one point, meanwhile Russia put a good show for their fans at home with their 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia. Great goals overall, this tournament is just warming up and I feel like we should be prepared for more surprises ahead.

The unexpected turns so far in Russia with shocking results is what this beautiful game is all about. I simply do not mind the underdogs putting some pressure on the big guns.  So far so good!


A lot of fun at the World Cup Fan Fest 2018
