“Our president is a strange man. He didn’t come to the two decisive matches of his country’s national team. He refused to support our players with his personal presence, with his emotions. Run there yourself. Whatever they said to justify Putin! A lot of work, preparing for the meeting with Trump, not loves football. All this turned out to be empty. It was not true. At a match between national teams of foreign countries ( Croatia - France ), Putin suddenly showed up,” writes the SerpomPo Telegram channel.
“He sat, freely stretched out, relaxed, without a jacket. In a white shirt, loosening his red tie, cheerful, chatting about something with a tanned, strong man, pleasantly similar to Fantômas. Fun, of course.
In Transbaikalia there is a flood and people abandoned there. Putin did not have time to fly before the meeting with Trump - to listen, reassure, and promise support. Were they there in Transbaikalia watching the game Croatia - France? What do you think, President?
Putin also did not come to the government meeting on increasing the retirement age. Although, according to the Constitution, he has the right to preside there. But he didn't want to. This is not Croatia - France. It's a shame to spend a couple of hours on this. What kind of problem is it to take hundreds of billions from poor people? They will be patient. I have my own problems.
The president owes nothing to the people who indifferently and obediently agreed in March to extend his power. He does what he wants. Accept it as it comes.
The World Cup is a thing of the past.
The spectators dispersed. The stadiums went deaf. The spotlights went out. The fields are empty. Hundreds of billions spent on the fleeting spectacle were burned. The sparks of the July fire were carried away into the high, black, indifferent sky. And they disappeared there.

The awards ceremony for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finalists was a great success. Rain in Luzhniki. Putin under an umbrella, the presidents of Croatia and France, happy, got wet without umbrellas. When everyone got wet, umbrellas appeared above them, but they did not hide under them. Macron kissed Mbappe, who was recognized as the best young player of the World Cup, and Grabar-Kitarovic pressed him to her chest, and then she hugged poor, tired Modric for a long time. When such a beauty hugs you, it probably becomes easier? Modric seemed upset, even though he won the Adidas Ballon d'Or as Russia's best player at the World Cup.
"Emmanuel, the suit has been ruined!" - his wife Brigitte probably told Macron. And for Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, the rain ruined her hair. But both ratings have probably increased!
Only Putin came out unscathed. And what is his rating? The football holiday is over, pension reform is ahead. And angry Russians."
