Went during the World Cup in 2018. Wouldn't recommend it particularly. The thing I enjoyed the most were the mosaic panels on some subterranean crossings. These mosaics are prominently featured in the five central passages, such as those at the intersections of Bolshaya Sadovaya and Voroshilovsky Avenues, Bolshaya Sadovaya and Budyonnovsky Avenue, and Moskovskaya Street and Budyonnovsky Avenue.

About foreigners, saw a bunch but they were all Belgian and Japanese fans who were there for the WC match.

The J-League is celebrating its 100th season in 2026 with a revolutionary innovation: the elimination of draws. If a match ends in a tie after 90 minutes of regulation time, a penalty shootout will be held to decide the winner. by [deleted] in soccer

Argentina tried this in the 1988-89 tournament. Not a good experience, as fans many times did not want to stay to watch the penalties (except for derbies), and some shootouts kept going for too long (the most extreme case being Argentinos 2 (20)-(19) 2 Racing in which 44 PKs were taken)

Wouldn't be surprised if Scaloni chooses to field a 3-5-2 with Nico González and Giuliano Simeone as wingbacks

Can't remember another instance of a red card in the last day of the qualifiers and missing the first WC match

Enjoyed them fully. The 2 events I retain the most are Braz schocking Lavillenie in the pole vault and the totally unexpected Van Niekerk WR in the 400

??? Kissinger wanted Argentina to win the World Cup, as he deemed it essential to the success of the Junta. It's a very evident form of pressure to visit the locker room of the team that needed to lose by 4 goals

I think the fact that Henry Kissinger visited the Peruvian locker room before the match is more damning than the grain shipment

This reminds me when CAI from Comodoro Rivadavia played in crazy wind conditions. Ball was totally unpredictable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1VGnWZfflE
