We have more than 50 000 british soccer fans now in Moscow because they want to see the UEFA Champions League Cup Final. It will be played tonight between Chelsea and Manchester United. This time it has been quite easy for them to get a visa because of the special agreement made by president Medvedev – their ticket to the stadium will automatically work as three day tourist visa too. However, the security control was much heavier than normally, you have to pass the control point if you want to go to the Red Square and so on... I am not so big fan of soccer fans myself but one of my colleagues had been talking with some football fans and it's amazing really what people can do because of this. In order to get the cheapest flight from London to Moscow, some people had been flying through at least seven cities, including New York! Another guy wanted to see the game despite of the fact that because of his illness he has to for example visit a toilet at least every half an hour... Because of these sacrifices I am not at all surprised if someone tells me that football is more important to them than sex – of course it is =) British soccer fans are probably very happy to buy some matrjoska dolls with their favorite players on them to take home as souvenirs.
