REVIVEN ESPÍRITU DEPORTISTA

Se revive el espíritu deportista en Moscú. Tras la victoria rusa ante los Países Bajos más de 200,000 personas se tiraron a las calles a celebrar la victoria. Rusia jugará en la semifinal de la EURO 2008 contra España el 26 de junio.

"More than 200,000 spilled out onto the streets in the city center alone, creating traffic jams everywhere that no one seemed to mind. Drivers and passengers waved Russian flags out of sunroofs and windows while pedestrians danced and sang in the middle of the streets.

Victor Biryukov, the head of the Moscow City Police, said Sunday that there had been no accidents or serious incidents and that 1,500 police officers had been on duty patrolling the streets.

The win seemed to bring everyone together on Tverskaya Ulitsa, as ethnic Tajiks paraded with Russian flags on their cheeks, young people danced to Azeri music, and Mercedes and Zhiguli drivers alike cheered along."
