LoveTheBobby 1 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Happy Russia are out, for non-footballjng reasons, I thought that giant banner was out of order. Has anyone actually worked out what they meant by 'this is russia'? It seems to have been swept under the carpet. Yes it's pretty sweet justice in my eyes too. My (unsure and simplistic) understanding of it was that it was a direct taunt back to the Russian 'rule' over them under Stalin in the aftermath of WW2. The march of the supposed 5000 Russians to the stadium (that was allowed by Polish authorities on Russia Day unbelievably) that preceeded the game (where trouble featured) a similar show of their apparent contempt for Poles although it way publically played down as such . The World Cup's going to be fun and games ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone actually worked out what they meant by 'this is russia'? It seems to have been swept under the carpet. It's to do with the education system in Russia. Putin sets the syllabus for geography lessons, which consist of a teacher pointing a world globe with a stick and repeating, "This is Russia," for half an hour, three times a week.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 THat Czech winger, Pilar, was excellent last night. Can't believe he's gone to Wolfsburg for less than a mill. His former club must be livid with themselves for not waiting till after the tournament, could have definitely made more money off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone actually worked out what they meant by 'this is russia'? It seems to have been swept under the carpet. I presumed it was a reference to Poland being a slave state and a pretty literal claim to the territory - slightly provocative to say the least.

She's unbelievable her. She's got a proper pretend bloke's commentator voice. Like when someone's doing an impression of a commentator, she presents the sports news in that voice.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) BBC streamed both games last night online anyone know if ITV will be doing tonight? Good question. They'll obviously be streaming one of the games as they've been doing all tournament long, and I'd assume they wouldn't want to lag behind the BBC by not streaming both.
