Dr. Gonzo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sadly, I'm not going. Can't be arsed to pay an obscene amount of money to watch England disappoint the shit out of me and then get 7 shades of shit kicked out of me by "football fans" who are stuck in the fucking 80s with their hooliganism.

Hello Nikolay and welcome to the forum Personally I am not going, England's fans reputation across the world of being drunk, anti-social morons unfortunately makes anybody who goes travelling with England in a large group of males a target for violence. I would only consider it if it was through work or if i was with family, but neither of those options are available. I hope you enjoy the World Cup being hosted in your City and that it's an amazing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichao Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Russians reputation is the same, i guess... or maybe even worse Still i hope somebody will come here to support english football team - here will be one play in the group stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy Posted February 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm not going but I'm sure it will be a great experience to have foreign fans in your city. I was working in Cologne during the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and it was amazing to see so many different nationalities united for one event.

The team is too weak.. I saw it's play last summer, on confederation's cup and in contrast with Portugal and Mexico this was clear. But maybe a miracle?

My family is from Russia, Yaroslavl to be exact. Welcome to the forums. We thought we might get some of the WC games but sadly the city of Yaroslavl wasn't chosen otherwise I would have been there all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice surprise anyway, now i like you even more. I love Russian culture and wouldn't mind living there if it wasn't for the extreme climate and language.

Russia's huge, not all of it has extreme climate. Move near the Black Sea (e.g. Sochi), and you'll have nice mild subtropical climate... The language is not that bad, to be honest.

In fact Sochi's climate is not that different from BA's (also humid subtropical). But i'd prefer something more like Rio's, preferably 24-30C thorough all the year. I suppose speaking wouldn't be THAT difficult, but writing and reading in Cyrillic with all those weird letters... that's another level hehe.

Oh I hear you, the climate is one of the reasons I moved down here 24-34C throughout the year, just perfect. Cyrillic only looks challenging, it just takes time getting used to, hehe.

I also love Russian culture, chess, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Swan Lake, and Vodka The whole county doesn't have terrible weather, but Yaroslavl is North enough that they have really bad winters.

Nice, I would like to experiment a Russian Christmas first-hand, 6 straight days of drinking and celebrations, or so i heard. Yeah, that must be tough though.

All apartments have radiators, so if it gets warm during the winter months, those radiators will still be on full blast because they are controlled by the city and not individual user.

Lol, that thing about the rads sounds crazy. It's my preferred heating system along with underfloor heating but not being able to control them myself would be nuts.
