There will be few English fans at the tribunes during the match between the UK and Columbia to be held on July 3. The capacity of the Spartak stadium is 45 000 people, while the English fans occupy 3 percent of the tribunes only. The Times newspaper wrote an article that there would be few English fans at the match. The Russian Embassy in London reacted on the article by a sarcastic Twitter post that it is not surprising at all, because the newspaper have been persuading the fans for months not to go to Russia, RIA Novosti informs.

The Times’ article is titled the English fans appeared to be in the minority in Moscow. Only 1500 English fans will watch the game in Moscow. The fans from the UK take risks to break down under the emotional charge of the Columbian supporters. At this, a month ago, the Times have published articles on Russian hooligans and the journalists warned about racist behavior of the Russians with amazing regularity. However, when the FIFA World Cup started, the UK police had to admit that the concerns were vain.

Those who did not take pranks of the Times regarding the FIFA World Cup seriously and came to Russia are content about everything apart from the propaganda of their own mass media.
