Putin would not miss a Russian triumph. For example the Winter Olympics in Sochi was won against the odds because Putin turned up and spoke. Sochi is actually a pleasant warm seaside resort! That was a superb achievement. I've been out there and seen the Olympic stadium which is being built as a football stadium not a winter Olympics venue. Until his stay away I was convinced Russia had it. They aren't building 9 out of 13 new stadia for a laugh!
Russian journos have said that he won't be associated with failure and if he doesn't come that's a sign, if he did turn up then it was in the bag for them. his comments about smear campaigns and taking the moral high ground against the BBC etc. means he has probably failed to get enough in the back pocket! Putin has got the right hump! Hence I think Spain will get it From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Leslie Sent: 02 December 2010 12:49 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] C'mon England! Russia will win. Putin hasn't turned up because he doesn't need to; smug.
