World Cup Road Trip

While Francis pushes on in St Petersburg Tony is celebrating with Brazil then off the airport to come home.

It's a hour-plus taxi to the airport but the driver Victor has a lead foot, minimal English and a brash disregard for the German soccer team.

Rate and review where you're listening, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the World Cup Road Trip.

The Russians are noticeably unhappy about the result against Uruguay. And as Australians we have some insight here.

Every episode Dean sends Tony a text with a suggested headline for the episodes, we did use "Seven Pelmeni Army" but others have been left off. Not for lack of talent, moreso practical reasons with the editor back in Australia.

Examples from Dean this episode (listen for context)

- Sterling misfires by Kane is able

- The little P breaches the DMZ 

- New balls please!

- Old Honda accorded too much space as Japan salvage a point

- Shakira danced around the Poles

 

And the article Tony mentions about Uruguay - Oi! Oi! Oi! (or, how I lost my pizza in Uruguay)

At 10:36 PM Tony's picking cucumbers for dinner in Jenya's Sochi garden after buying him around at the pub.

Home brew whiskey and Google Translate go some way to filling the gaps.

It's a sing-off!

Australia excels comparitively in almost anything to do with sport except songs. Barmy Army's got us beat at the cricket and the Russians hold an upper hand, on home soil, at the Cup.

And Tony gets out and about in the "closed city" to take in a space museum.

Nigeria bested the sparcely populated but closely related Iceland 2 - 0.

Time to draw some Lionel Messi comparisons to the star of the game, Ahmed Musa, and think about the significance of this tournament for the great Messi.
