If you've got a photo like Francis does you'll walk straight over there.

Russian taxis are almost as thrilling as the second Russia win.

You meet another of the Green and Gold Army, a model plane obsession surfaces and we think Tony is coming home with some cash for Thorpie.

19 years a tour manager, Martin Denyer says every day's a Saturday for him.

He travels a lot with Australians, about 50% of his time. And plenty of that's cricket.

And then there's the run-ins with the rich and famous.

A huge Australian contingent travelled to Kazan making it feel like a home game for the Socceroos.

There's anticipation around the ground fueled by days of travel and the once in a lifetime experience.

Tony gets a little lost, new lyrics for a team song, first world cup for 90 year old John and that feeling of walking into the stadium. Take a moment.

It's on the buses to see the sights while there's time - Red Square, Bunker 42, Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill with its huge obelisk and Gorky Park (ssshhhhhh!).

Who needs the historical sights though when the action on and next to the buses are just as memorable!

"That is the stuff!"

Van drivers like strikers, choirs like armies and we're slipping some Beatles inbetween.
