MOSCOW, KOMPAS – The latest World Cup is not without its share of surprises. The 0–1 loss of defending champion Germany to Mexico was the biggest surprise thus far – just three days after the Tellstar 18 ball was kicked for the first time in the opening match between host Russia and Saudi Arabia on June 14.

The event also allows Russia to open itself and embrace the world. “Russians in general love soccer. We are an open and friendly country, where guests from all over the world can meet new friends,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin at the World Cup opening ceremony.
