Spanish-Portuguese passions run high In St. Petersburg

What could be better than completing a working week in a good company for viewing and discussing the best in the world (in what are all those who found themselves on Friday evening in Konyushennaya Square sure) of the game? Only the match Portugal-Spain, which ended the second day of the World Cup

At the FIFA Fan Festival™, closer to the beginning of the game it became clear who was the host of the tournament.  Mostly Russian speech was heard around, and there were not less guests on the site than on the day of the game of the Russian national team.

Fans' sympathies were divided approximately equally - some were waiting for Portugal's victory, others hoped that the Spaniards would win. True, the question "Who will win?" our respondents most often answered - Ronaldo, Iniesta, Ramos. One could just look at aquagrimm (it, by the way, can be applied for free at the Festival).

The only, that was unclear - a company of young people whose hair was painted in the colors of the Portuguese flag, and on the cheeks the flag of Spain was depicted.

- We are for beautiful football! - One of them laughs.

- And a little for Ronaldo! - Adds another one.

- Yes, in general for the movement, - the third is wedged into the maturing dispute. - It's cool, I like it!

In the break of the match, "Portugueses" look at the "Spaniards" a little patronizingly; Ronaldo and his team finished the first half with an advantage of one goal. But, strangely enough, in the "lobby" of the Festival no one particularly discusses the game. They say more about the atmosphere on the Konyushennaya Street - nobody seemed to expect that it would be so fun.

"I've been here during the Confederations Cup last year, but then it was boring. And this time is amazing! Will I come again? Why not? If the weather is good, be sure! - Michael promises.

The second half begins and it's time to rejoice in those who support Spain. The Spaniards first equal the score, and then go ahead.

- Did you notice that there was not a single draw at the Championship yet? - journalists are talking. And at that moment the Konushennaya Square rejoices - Ronaldo draws up the first hat-trick at the tournament.

Draw. All are happy. And you can dance a little more during a white night in St. Petersburg, because tomorrow is a day off. Let’s meet at Konyushennaya Street!
