So ended my first trip to the live football. A trip in 4 days turned into a real adventure with daily impressions, emotions and events. Everything about it I'll tell you in their blog and begin with the main purpose of the visit match teams in football Russia - Finland in Helsinki on June 10.
This was my first game I saw live at the stadium and that you understand the difference in sensation, it is about the same as watching your favorite performance of the rock band at a live concert, or sit at home and watch their music videos on TV. Emotions and energy of the crowd and hit the fountain fills you, you get a spectacle as during a game and before and after. Fans enjoy a true show perfomantsy and tranquil life of the city (in this case, Helsinki) explodes under the pressure of football fans.
Even when crossing the border we were told that the first Murmansk fans were tightened in the direction of the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki for two days before the game t. e. June 8. And when we drove into town, you are literally moving in a dense flow of cars with Russian flags hung.
At the stadium park has not turned out t. to. Free parking was, for some reason closed, and the next is already paid all busy. Park your car just got a couple of quarters. As we walked to the stadium met all of our compatriots and in that time, the beginning of the impression that the Russians would be much longer officially sold three thousand tickets from the Russian Football Union.

Rising in its place in the sector is located, just outside the gates of the Russian team in the first half, we saw that the Russian flags and banners are developed virtually the entire stadium with the exception of the Finnish podium, which was just opposite our. All this gave the feeling of superiority on the number of fans from our team.

By tradition, before the game was filled with the national anthems of both teams. Operatic manner of performance of the Russian national anthem of the Finnish artist, to some extent with the shot down the pace in which we are accustomed to hear the anthem of our country, so the stadium chanting sometimes run ahead of the official performance. At the end of the anthem on the entire length of our platform has been stretched a banner with the image of Russian heroes. More precisely, to see what this time came up with Russian fans we were not able t. to. we were just under the banner of. (remember that game with the Swedish national team during Euro 2008 Russian fans hung a banner depicting a symbolic Peter I).

The game looked the same breath. Every successful operation of our players has caused a flurry of supportive slogans in favor of the judges of our team were welcomed with applause and a few attacks and violations of the Finnish team booed.
It arrived on a live game, I saw a side put the game show - the show fans. The problem, regardless of the size of the stands to be heard and seen by showing visual show with creative posters, flags and costumes fans. And that we were able to. Before the game, I met many interesting findings in terms of stylized outfit from our fans. There were sailors and Panfilov and Hussars, fans dressed in Russian national clothes with slogans in support of our team.

The third goal against the Finnish team delivered me from the intended purpose swim in the cold waters of the Gulf of Bothnia m. to. the day before the game, I made a bet that if our team wins by a margin of at least two goals, be sure to swim in one of the reservoirs in Finland.

After the second goal Kerzhakova I mentally already selected, in what from the reservoirs to arrange a winning swim, but a goal on 72 minutes Zyryanov not only showed that the Finns in this game is to catch nothing, and delivered me from the dubious pleasure. :-).

The game and the result is very pleased and very happy that my first trip to the football stadium, and was marked by a good and productive game of our team. And even cry. ... one of the distressed Finns after the game in our favor, caused only a smile.
The only thing that upset because it is the behavior of some of our fans, who even after several warnings have not abandoned the ignition fireworks, smoke bombs and fireworks.

I still wonder, not so they do not realize that by doing so all over the world form a negative image for all residents of their own country.
Having experienced all the pleasure one experiences while in the stands, supporting their team, I am ready to resign from a comfortable seat in front of TV at home, to once again get the same emotions, but with opposing teams with Wales and Germany in the autumn of this year.
And lastly, take a look at the best moments of the match vs Russia. Finland ( podsmotren movie blog. free football. ), As well as photos with commentary at the end of the link to the whole album to play at the Olympic Stadium June 10, 2009 Mr.. in Helsinki.
