We’ll not be there – United States and The Netherlands – not by choice but due to poor performance. 😉

However 32 nations from across all continents will meet in the Russian Federation in the Summer of 2018, the world’s greatest sports event. These include Iran and Saudi Arabia … perhaps all sides van lay down their arms before the games begin?

    “I am not able to fully convey my impression
     of this city – it is the incarnation of beauty.”
                                Napoléon

Founded in the 12th century, Moscow is the capital of the Russian Federation and one of the most renowned and fascinating cities in the world. It is a dynamic 21st century metropolis showcasing some of the world’s best shopping, nightlife, restaurants and culture. Moscow welcomes over four million tourists each year.

Home to over 130 nationalities and 12.3 million residents, Moscow is served by three international airports and the world’s second busiest underground system. If one hasn’t visited Moscow lately, one hasn’t visited Moscow.

The city is blessed with beautiful architecture and such renowned cultural landmarks as the Bolshoi Theatre, the Kremlin, the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery, to name but a few. Moscow is also home to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Kremlin and Red Square. The colourful St Basil’s Cathedral on Red Square is the symbol of both Moscow and Russia.

Luzhniki Stadium is located at the centre of Moscow’s 145-hectare Olympic complex, one of the largest sports complexes in the world. Luzhniki Stadium will be the main venue and the heart of the 2018 FIFA World CupTM tournament, used for the Opening Match, a semi-final and the Final. The Luzhniki sports complex stretches along the Moscow River and lies opposite the beautiful Vorob’evy Hills Natural Park. The majestic Moscow State University observation area overlooks the stadium.

Moscow is surrounded by satellite towns and neighbourhoods that comprise Moscow Region. Visitors can travel by bus or train to the small Russian cities as old as Moscow, and bursting with history and charm.

Get a life – the world’s 95% are moving on. People all over the globe are busy every day to make ends meet … Trump’s USA First is not the answer, nor the phony American Exceptionalism, nor the fear and warmongering since 9/11 which has led to right-wing totalitarianism across the Western nations. It’s all so predictable.
