Of course I'll be there .... just hoping my nation - that has guaranteed 2nd place in the qualifying group ... (we could win if we beat ze Germans in Belfast and they lost their other game ........ OK ..stop dreaming ... )

FIFA rated England only a few places higher in the world rankings than wee N. Ireland ;)

It's true !

All 'booked' or daft prices .... in Sochi

Expect to see prices fall, when those who thought they'd block book realise they've been a little TOO greedy

The Russians are scared that adverse publicity ( esp in the UK press)  re violence will keep the fans away - lest some IDIOT thinks this is me being a russophobe - it came from the mouth of an assistant to the Mayor, in Sochi - who have Germany, Peru, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Australia playing here in the opening rounds..

Have to wonder if a beautiful referee would be a slight  distraction for the  players? She  definitely  is beautiful.

I bet the mainstream are absolutely gutted. The World Cup shambles and all the violence hasn't happened, in fact Russia looks quite appealing from what I've seen.  tiphat

I just feel sorry for plebs like Labours Stephen Kinnock, who thinks we should protest against it because it's a massive propaganda coup.....

100% correct... I have a friend in UK who is  flying over on 8th he was worried about all the shit in the press.. but today said F*** it I'm on my way.. its clearly the place to be!

Meanwhile in Sweden 3 Swedish fans were shot dead whilst celebrating , some muppet just drove past and shot them..

What a joke!

Men: 65 years, Women: 63 years. and thats AFTER the increase, before it was 60 and 55.

Gee, now, what was the pension-age in netherlands? 67/67 , or UK ? 65/65 , or Germany? 67/67.

Oh so Russia seems to follow western Europe in its opinion of lifespan of humans.

Great.... thanks for the non-news.

This is a necessary move but the current announcement is just the start of a negotiation process between the state and citizens.

Of course it is a problem because, as currently structured, it will mess with people's lives in a way that is hard to manage. My guess is that the  final plan will be to delay the onset a little to give folks time to adjust their lives and get used to the idea. Also, the ages will change a little too. In the end though the retirement age will increase significantly, it has to.

I also think that this move will kick start the private pension business in the RF so that those who wish can plan their own retirement finances.

Since the “Russia is an evil sh*thole” narrative isn’t panning out, I think it’ll be necessary to pin this story on Russia somehow. )
