Russia - Netherlands 3:1 (or Россия - чемпион)

It's undescribeable feeling.... Emotions are overfilling me...What a country! What a game! What a spirit!!!
Yesterday we went to Beer-House situated straight on Tverskaya...In the Heart of Moscow... In the Heart of Russia...What a unity we had there with all the people who were inside, we had flags, shoutings, all together we have been for Russia... Jumping for 1st goal, being totally broken on the 85thminute and almost (and some people even did) dancing on the table when in the last (4th!!!) time 2 goals followed one by one... Thank you, Gus...People were crying...Thank you, guys, you gave us 1 week of holidays (as after such victory russians for sure can't work)...All the people in the bar were speaking so tender and respectively to our "boys" (soccer players). That is not to compare with Euro-2004 when whole Russia (remembering from Sport Bar) were saying idiots for our players... The times change...
After the match, we, the whole Beer-House jumped out of the Bar and couldnt believe our eyes... The cars were beeping..People were dancing lezginka on the roofs of their cars, the others were dancing striptease in the neighbour car....Rossija! Rossija!!!- was heardable from every little corner...Eliseevskiy where the cheapes russian pro secto (red price 70 roubles) costs 280 roubles were attacked...Hundreds of people were queing in order to buy some drinks...Thanks god we were too fast to buy some champaighn before the que... In 1h the shop was closed "due to technical reasons"... The shop just run out of alcohol ;)
Guys with flags flattering all around...Later on, the street was closed (anyway it was impossible to drive throughh) and the music of opened cars, together with yells of people: rossija-champion, with shaking hands and making fotos with flags continued till 5 am...
This is the national spirit....When we win... It exists...Last year I wrote here about the absence of national idea in Russia... This year we got it...The Victory...
My sister in the deep night (let's say early morning) of Ufa, Lena at daytime in New York, Julia in the evening in Amsterdam and we in the heart of Russia...Everybody united and was happy and proud for our country....This is the national idea...
Emos, glamour people (Centre Tverskaya, Saturday night), usual students, big managers...
Everybody together...Everybody happy...
Returning in the early morning home (or I would say driving through whole Moscow) as Olya's boy-friend couldnt find the way to me home we could see people...Happy people...Many people...Everywhere...People sitting in the windows of driving cars with flags...People staying with beer/champaign/vodka/water whatever and greeting us driving in the car...
Congratulating each other...
This national spirit...Was even more than at New Year...
Hard to believe...Unbelievable to see...
Happy to be russian...
