England has made it to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Russia.
Not bad for a team that if Boris Johnson and Theresa May had their way, would have boycotted the entire event (http://theduran.com/blowhard-boris-johnson-want-to-pull-england-out-of-…) over a Skripal poisoning hoax.
TASS News agency reported Thursday that Red Square has gained a new attraction. The 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Football Park opened in Moscow’s Red Square, with a ceremony attended by dignitaries from both the national government and FIFA itself.
TASS reports:
It took 11 minutes for Russia to score the first goal of the 2018 FIFA World Cup to be scored during Thursday’s opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
The host nation got on the scoreboard early with a Yury Gazinsky header, for which the Saudi Arabian goalie simply couldn’t get to it despite a good effort.
It was Gazinsky’s first goal of his international career.
The goal is exactly the start that Russia needed to get the crowd into it at Luznhiki Stadium in Moscow.
Palestinians are celebrating the news that Argentina – and its star Lionel Messi – will not be playing the “friendly” football match that had been set for Jerusalem next weekend.

The Russian free style wrestling team has been refused visa interviews by the US embassy in Moscow. The team was looking forward to competing in the World Cup competition in Iowa City, which is now just days away.
Moscow has been busily preparing its facilities to host the 2018 World Cup games. Not only has Moscow been part of this but so have other places around the Russian Federation. However, there is a push on in the Western nations for the officials of six countries (Poland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Japan) to boycott the event.
That’s fine. Stay home. Russia doesn’t need you here anyway if you don’t want to be here.

Yesterday The Duran reported that the Syrian Arab Army has broken the siege around Deir-ez-Zor according to top Syrian General Yarob Zahreddine.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has shared a video on Facebook of the carnage, destruction, violence and mayhem being caused in Hamburg by anarchists, the far-left, random radicals and members of the group Antifa which is classed as a terrorist organisation in parts of the United States.
In her post Zakharova stated,
The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has issued a report saying that there was nothing untoward about Russia’s ultimately successful bid for the 2018 Football World Cup. Qatar who will host the World Cup in 2022 was also given a clean report, although now Qatar is facing other problems due to the protracted dispute with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the UAE.
However, Britain whose state-owned broadcaster BBC has been relentlessly trying to smear Russia’s hosting of the 2018 World Cup has been slammed in the recent report.
