A student from France wrote in to say that he hopes his team beats mine tonight. I have to wonder what kind of a genius scheduled the Ukrainian team to play at the stadium in the city that is the most hostile to the national team in the entire country. The poor idiots in the Donetsk area have been brainwashed into becoming pathetic Russian wannabes. This is why they hate the Ukrainian team and everything Ukrainian. I have many relatives in that are and I can tell you that it’s a very sad, miserable place.
This is what the commentary on the BBC site says:
There are a lot of empty seats in the Donbass Arena. It has been a sadly familiar sight during this competition.
Rain or no rain, we all knew people were not going to come support the national team in this stupid city. But they support and root for their own hometown team where the billionaire gangster who owns the city bought a bunch of foreign players and staffed the team with them. Idiots.
I still hope we cream those Frenchmen.
P.S. Now the game has been suspended because of the rain.
