British fans are thankful for the FIFA World Cup 2018


16.07.2018

British fans wrote many grateful letters to the Russian Embassy in London, RT reports. 

Russian diplomats note that they've receive “overwhelming” number of thank you letters for the FIFA World Cup 2018. Letters continue coming after the Mundial has finished. British congratulate organisers and share their impressions of the World Cup cities. 

Diplomatic mission representatives have published some of the letters in its Twitter page.

After attending FIFA World Cup 2018 British fans were puzzled for two things. First, why Russia is not the world tourism center yet. And the second, why stereotypical representation of Russia provided by mainstream British media has crumbled like sand castle. Once landed in Russia, many of football fans “got rid of the fairytales” assiduously imposed by British media. 

As we mentioned before, FWC-2018 deserved highest estimation of the top world leaders. Donald Trump called the tournament “amazing,” while the FIFA President Gianni Infantino described the World Cup as “the best in history.”
