everybody starting to watch they've tipped into the young star so i think on the whole i'm going to go for sabers well switzerland been particularly solid zebras had i mean i doubt that the brazilians particularly keen on that one they were crying foul but the swiss they tend to defy the odds their unbeaten in seven that's pretty high up in the in the world rankings that one can never really is seen with any of those so i think yes i think is going to be close but i'm good for serbia as well we'll see what will find up or just when we got to take a quick look at the swiss team during the world cup in two thousand and ten switzerland did get the better of the european champions and eventual winners and that woke up to spain and rome my ears and they've made an impressive start in this year's tournament against brazil as we said anyone self actually well as the serbia it's only their second appearance at the world cup as an independent nation in the first game that he costa rica and now occupy second place in group b. the game will take place at the most westerly stadium in russia the beautiful stadium in kaliningrad build especially for the world cup.

well no games i should jewel to here in moscow for today but you wouldn't know that moving around the city center here is the famous nichol sky a street just off red square behind us now i'm job the streets of light and atmosphere there right now. i'm. really just fans have been warming up their voices before their big game against belgium on saturday which i will be going to and while the argentinian contingent

in the russian capital have seemingly put their crushing defeat against grey she has stayed behind them they're offering time to go classless to where everyone believe it or not a few players may have to brush up on the footwork before the next game as well. when the goals go straight was earlier taken over by the icelandic viking so you have their own special way of inspiring the team as he goes down often finding out . the brand themselves vikings and they've invaded the russian capital in full force iceland deployed almost ten percent of the population to support the team at the first world cup. in the game against the mighty argentina that ended up in a big upset for leo messi and the rest of the nation the blue shirts shouted themselves hoarse it was time when i joined them.

i. was. i was i was. i. was. christian and cove felt right at home in a city with roughly forty times the population of the entire country with no place to take here it is like nothing we've ever seen because the snow has a gauge it's of all. it's all it's own admission the old against the russians while you're on the will come later you knew the time i've spent with iceland's chanting cool one thing is obvious qualifying from one of the groups of death doesn't faze the vikings and even if they don't win the cup they've already one everyone's

hearts done of oxy. has a big fan as a big fan of interacting with fans i have to say impressed by years of work there fantastic stuff as speaking of iceland the score update now the second half is underway and it's nil now actually just scored as i was saying that i can't take discuss just scored so we see the live pictures and we see that nigeria scored and it looks like a beautiful go right yes it is a beautiful goal now is going to have certain ramifications for the table as well as the score stays the way it is so i believe i didn't get that now sorry. i can't say there's a sigh of relief going on because when azeris is not excellent so we see those pictures coming up later meanwhile with the world cup as you can imagine getting a boston out of attention on social media one british peer has found himself in hot water i think his comments on twitter no doubt show who's also the star to hit b.b.c. show the apprentice and the former football club chairman of tottenham hotspur was

forced to. after posting the following tweet with reference to the cynical squad the offensive tweet showed the team with photoshop bags and sunglasses and shook it making reference to the cellist after the backlash he took the tweet down but said he still thought it was funny eventually apologized saying he had no intention of offending anyone d.c. has issued a statement pointing out that alan sugar has apologized and saying it's right he has done so but many people including some senegalese officials are demanding the b.b.c. to sack him the minister counselor from the senegalese embassy in moscow told me the world cup should be a time for promoting unity not spreading offensive racial stereotypes. we were already checked and we were very surprised that india's twenty first century such ideas can be expressed in that he can apologize but i think. he's such a things that we don't have to we don't have to joke it's a very important particularly after

a nice result of some of these team. the world cup easy. for people to leave each other to make peace. but not to make these kind of jokes. whether it's celebrating a stunning victory or coming to terms with a place to defeat a glass of beer is often part of the picture but in moscow and a number of other host cities demand has been so high the boss are running dry although supply is operating to live as best they can and that's perhaps the only real hitch that many fans have encountered the tournament so far well the fact so far this world cup has been hailed as a major success and with festivities in full swing long held perceptions of the host country and its people are beginning to change now sound western reporters are even realizing that you know russians can actually smile and sky news has been openly shocked by this kind of hospitality but there are obviously others as. my

friend moraga steve explains we have wanted to spoil the party from the start. there is nothing quite like the world cup the scope of it the everything. they. have found in it for the football but before the bulls even been kicked others are already in the second half of a very different game here because there's no value in human life it will rob you and you. believe you because with the world cup looming rates are carried out on a regular basis just minutes from iconic beaches shanty town called for a village it's always been like this headlines exposing the evils of the host country grab readers' attention and the eyes of fans but this time some say it's worse soccer associations have threatened to boycott the next men's world cup in

russia diplomatic we caught a potential world cup boycott by england the royal family will boycott the soccer world cup in russia this summer great britain and its media lead the eleventh hour charge to try and shrimp russia of this tournament after the field poisoning of the next double agent in solsbury case muddled with inconsistency zend in which the actual perpetrators haven't yet been identified it has soured relations between russia and britain but one might ask what does that have to do with football well it turns out it doesn't matter it's highly likely russia did it q now see references yes i think the comparison with one hundred thirty six is is only right another political clash first. over syria and vala giant

billboards across london urging world cup boycott governments should strengthen the also return and she whiston part of the russian president but the twenty eight hundred fifty world cup in russia and of politics isn't enough try recycling every other old argument and leave the football itself on the bench from homophobia to raise his them from corruption to terrorism every grievance you can think of gets put on the pitch why even risk coming to russia shady types everywhere men with tattoos suggs that is exactly what life is like here in russia two men share a cigarette of a beer in broad daylight gosh that could never happen in britain could

it the photographer himself says that his mission was to show the darker aspects of city life everywhere from tokyo to new york but who cares there is an agenda here i think even if. it is going to look darker look i trusted this. article will be iran might. be anything like this pussy riot the shock feminist performers who rose to the top of russia's protest movement years ago and have now largely been forgotten they're back again no relation to football they just don't like putin so that makes them relevant again the more you read the more outlandish the pundits get beyond this media circus serious and legitimate issues. a lost
