  1. It's now absolutely bucketing down at the Luzhniki. Lackeys have appeared with umbrellas for the heads of state and FIFA dignitaries. Putin was the first to get his umbrella as Infantino, Macron and the Croatian president got soaked.

    Bucketing down now. They've only brought one umbrella, and it's for Putin. He is NOT sharing it.

  6. What a trouper the Croatian President is. Had to wait the longest time for an umbrella though. Not cool, FIFA/Russia/whoever it was. Amazing.
