You can easily tell by the thousands of brightly dressed and noisily cheerful fans that the 2018 World Cup has commenced. This was amidst a swirl of colour, festivity and international goodwill.
Definitely, this was better than Brazil 2014 and South Africa 2010 as supporters in their teams’ colours took over the Streets, singing lustily, banging drums, ribbing their rivals and determined to have a party.
Soccer fans from Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, Kuwait, Nigeria, Australia and Japan could easily be identified.
President Putin was cheered as he addressed the 81,000 crowd inside the stadium. He spoke of showing the world a hospitable Russia and of sport overcoming differences.
In the opening match, Saudi Arabia were put to the sword by hosts Russia. It was a 5 - 0 drubbing. Russia, a team parading a 40-year-old defender, are themselves not expected to go far in the tournament but they were still too good for the Saudis.
