Before the start of the World Cup in Russia there are less than three months left. Our team began to intensively prepare for the main tournament.

On Friday, March 23, the Russian national team at the stadium "Luzhniki" met in a friendly match with Brazil. The arena was filled with numerous fans with the flags of the national team. Fans expected to see a spectacular fight, but the players disappointed them. The first time, Russia held in its half of the field, only occasionally attacking the gate of opponents. The Brazilians pushed and had many moments to open the account already at the beginning of the meeting. Team as always at the right time helped the goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev. The first time with a big advantage left for Brazil. For the second half of the match, the Russians came out more confidently. They began to hold the ball more and tried to score, but the superiority of the players of the other team was noticeable. As a result, the Brazilians squeezed and opened an account. After 15 minutes they scored two more goals.

Our players have rushed to recoup, but already forces on it were not, and Brazilians had time to snap back. The match ended with a score of 0-3, and many fans did not wait until the end and left the stands in advance. This meeting was called one of the main rehearsals for the upcoming World Cup, but at the moment the team's game looks very dull.

If nothing changes, then in the tournament fans are only disappointed. The next friendly match Russia will hold with France at the stadium "St. Petersburg Arena" on March 27.
