   The twelfth player.
   Before game.
   The FIRST match for a Russian national team in the present World championship
Passed on a handsome man stadium-sorokatysjachnike "п п п?пЁ" in
City of Kobe.
   As heads of the press centre, this arena have told to me
It has been opened in the end of last year and intended for
Carrying out of matches of world superiority. Its further destiny
Still up to the end it is not defined. The matter is that a number of stadiums
After the championship termination it will be reconstructed under the baseball
Arenas. However, it does not mean, that Kobe will lose
Football stadium. All will be solved by the special commission,
Which will be going to in August.
   Group of support at "Eagles from Carthago" it is insignificant
Surpasses the Russian. Japanese actively convoked on football.
On a city cars with loudspeakers drove about,
Inviting to buy the ticket for a match and to receive symbolics or
Russian, or the Tunisian command. As has told the press attache
Our command Alexander Lvov, the national team management has presented
500 tickets to small town Simidzu where there is its base, in
Sign on gratitude for warm reception and attention to Russians.
   For two hours prior to the beginning of a match before stadium there was an active
Exchange of souvenirs - badges, caps, booklets with colour
Photos. At me one of our fans, groaning
Teeth after more than ten-minute arrangement,
Has exchanged a vest of a Russian national team with the Roadway surname on two T-shorts
The Tunisian command, convincing in broken English
The African in authenticity of the game form. The happy Tunisian
Has left. After that our fan has cleaned trophies in a bag and has pulled out
Therefrom precisely same vest also has continued to stand invocatory
On the area, expecting the next naive African.
   Agiotage with tickets was not. As well as speculators, as
Their services on similar matches do not use popularity,
And the police very attentively looks that
Occurs near to arena.
   In group of support of Russians Vladimir has been noticed
Zhirinovsky. It, certainly, has found some minutes to communicate
With our fans, loudly calling them to be ill
"In Russian". Zhirinovsky five-minute "report" has finished all about
Volume, that nobody will stop us and that to Tunisians is better not
To leave in the field...
   During game
   To choral execution of the Russian hymn on tribunes could
To envy and hvalenye English fans. At fans
It turned out harmoniously and loudly enough. It was, so
To tell, a prelude to a match where our football players played "more loudly" and
More brightly the opponents from Tunis.
   Occurrence in the field and actions Semshova has called the present dispute
On tribunes, Igor's invitation has been how much justified in
National team. Fans that to the command is more have converged
Experience of the captain "Alanii" Omari Tetradze was useful.
   Under rare blows of small drums by which were reserved
The Tunisian fans, commands tried to be accustomed to game
Each other. By the way, fans of Tunis have amazed me with the
Passivity (four years ago in France this "torsida" was
One of the loudest): first they though somehow
Designated support of the command, and then and have at all drooped, only
Occasionally blowing up when our defence supposed the unpleasant
And, alas, frequent errors.
   Our fans have proved very brightly and looked
Fans-masters: colourfully dressed, with flags, pipes...
Periodically they tried to get stadium, arranging "wave" and
Scanning "Forward, Russia!". One of the most desperate
Admirers tried to light a smoke candle, but has accurately worked
Local police, which in the name of two guards of an order
It is underlined politely has asked to give them a dangerous subject. Remains
Riddle as the fan could carry by on stadium this most
Draught...
   After game.
   After a final whistle all our command has run to
To the "Russian" tribune also has thanked for support, including
"Financially" - the T-shorts, which steels for successful and
The quickest fans the present gift.
   Leaving from the stadium, many fans have gone on a train,
Faster to reach the hotels though were and
Such who has decided to note to begin with a victory in the local
Small restaurants. So Kobe yesterday till the late night listened
Russian songs...
   Paul Zarudnyj, Kobe.
