It is 13 days before the curtain falls on Russia 2018, and indeed it’s been full of surprises especially in the knockout stage.
Out of the eight countries that have won the World Cup since inception in 1930, seven, made it to Russia. Only Italy failed to make it, the first time they will be missing from the Mundial in 60 years.
Out of the seven that made it, three viz Germany, Argentina and Spain have bowed out leaving Uruguay, France, Brazil and England to try and replicate what they achieved at one time or the other in the past.
While die-hard supporters of the oldies expect one of them to go all the way and clinch the trophy come July 15, those in search of a new winner can hardly wait to see the back of all the oldies.
Like the saying goes, if wishes were horses beggars will ride. 
The fans may wish and dream but the players who are the main actors will determine where the cat will jump.
While the pitch is on fire in the battle of supremacy, tears, anguish, laughter and fun continues to take the centre stage among the fans.
The no dull moment situation in Russia continues, and here are more of the must see sights on the stands .
