Poland – Russia a 1:1 tie. Hopefully a peaceful night in Poland. I witnessed my first skirmishes between fans and fan zone security today – nothing major. Between the language barrier and culturally different management styles/police tactics, I’m still kind of wondering what happened and why. 🙁 I was so hoping for a win tonight.
A day off from the fan zone tomorrow – maybe some lounging in the steam room.
I'm happy with the draw. Russians seem to be a good team in this year. What were the police tactics you wrote about?
