Yeah I think I have to agree, for me what makes a World Cup special is stories like Russia. Coming in as the lowest ranked team at the cup, totally written off at the start of the tournament by many (I know I did), but playing the game with such tremendous spirit and determination. Forgetting the politics of Russia, I think the country can be mightily proud of their team, and the way the supporters have gotten in behind the team.
I'm thinking we'll see a Belgium v England rematch for the final.
