The most beautiful fan was a 28-year-old Muscovite. At the opening of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the blonde came in a kokoshnik. The photo of the girl conquered many media outlets and the pictures immediately spread across all social networks.
A little later, it turned out that the most beautiful fan of the 2018 World Cup starred in porn films and there is an intimate photo of her on the network. It is also known that in 2007 the girl won the Miss Moscow contest.
The most beautiful fan of the 2018 World Cup, Natalya Nemchinova, said in an interview that she was not really a porn star. Whether this is true or not remains a mystery.
How the stars cheered for the Russian national team
Celebrities also cheered for the Russian team. Some of them were at the stadium, while others were watching the live broadcast of the World Cup.
Irina Shayk, Natalia Vodianova and Natasha Poly decided to support our team in an original way. In their Instagram accounts, they published a photo where they were naked. The only clothes they wore were scarves.
During the match, Polina Gagarina was in Turkey, but also supported the Russian team. She published on her social network a photo in which she repeats the gesture of Artem Dziuba. By the way, the picture was taken for the flash mob "Mustache of Hope".

How do the wives of the football players of the Russian national team and other countries dress?
Throughout the championship, the teams were supported by the players' wives and girlfriends. Let's see how these 2018 World Cup fans dress up and what can we learn from them?
Georgina Rodriguez
Beloved Cristiano Ronaldo supported the groom in the stands and shone with a ring, which was discussed by the media for a very long time. Rumor has it that Ronaldo is finally getting married.
Georgina Rodriguez prefers minimalism and elegance in her clothes. Too naked images are not about her. The girl chooses clothes that cover the body, such as men's style shirts or jeans.
The bride of Cristiano Ronaldo dresses stylishly and concisely. We believe that she should be an example for those girls who prefer a minimalist style of clothing.
Bruna Marchesini
Neymar's girlfriend works as a model and is quite often filmed for advertising underwear. IN Everyday life Bruna prefers tight and sexy things. Her style is the exact opposite of Georgina Rodriguez.
Bruna Marchesini prefers bandage dresses and pencil skirts for social events.
Edurne
The bride of David De Gea is an example for girls who strive to look like true ladies.
She prefers modest clothes, and emphasizes sexuality very carefully. The main rule in the style of this girl is to combine simple things and dilute them with bright accessories. For example, at one press event, she appeared in a modest shirt dress in a noble shade and diluted the image with yellow sandals.
Veronica Erokhina
The wives of Russian football players are in no way inferior to the beloved foreign players. Veronika supports her husband Alexander Erokhin in all matches.
The girl's style is concise and elegant. First of all, convenience is important to her. For example, she came to one of the 2018 World Cup matches in a red dress and white sneakers.

Denis Cheryshev, who replaced the injured Alan Zagoev, doubled the score. Artem Dzyuba, 89 seconds after entering the field, closed the pass of Vladimir Golovin. Cheryshev at the end of the match sent the ball into the far corner of the opponent's goal, and Golovin accurately hit during a free kick.
Second day:
Egypt 0-1 Uruguay
The main intrigue of this match was the question of the appearance on the field of Mohammed Salah, who received a shoulder injury. A couple of days before the game, the striker himself promised that he would have time to recover, but the Egyptian fans were disappointed.
The victory was given to the national team of Uruguay is not easy, although Egypt can not be called a serious opponent. The meeting turned out to be not too spectacular: two misses from the Uruguayans, a sharp catch-up from the Egyptians, and a goal in the 90th minute of the match from Jose Maria Jimenez.
Morocco 0-1 Iran
The Iranian national team won the meeting with the Moroccans. In the 95th minute of the game, Moroccan striker Aziz Buhadduz, who came on as a substitute, sent the ball into his own net with his head.
It's funny that the Iranian mentor Carlos Queiroz said before the game that he hoped for the help of the football gods, and the higher powers seem to have heard the coach.
Portugal – Spain 3:3
The match Portugal - Spain, held in Sochi, already claims to the title of the best confrontation of the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal striker, scored a hat-trick and helped his team avoid defeat.
For Spain, striker Diego Costa and defender Nacho Fernandez scored twice.

In this meeting, for the first time in the championship, after a video replay, a penalty was awarded, which was converted by Antoine Griezmann. The Australians also responded with an aimed shot from the “point” (Mile Edinak), but the victory for the French was brought by an accurate shot by Paul Pogba.
Argentina - Iceland 1:1
In group "D" there was a sensation: the Icelandic team played a draw with Argentina - 1:1. If the Argentines count on the championship, the Scandinavians are satisfied with participation in the tournament.
Icelanders responded to Sergio Aguero's goal by Argentina with Alfred Finnbogason's accurate kick. According to FIFA, this moment was the best for the third game day.
The hero of the match was the well-known director in Iceland, Hannes Halldoursson, who is the goalkeeper of the national team, who reflected the penalty kick performed by Lionel Messi.

The match between these teams turned out to be quite interesting, despite the fact that the outsiders of group “E” played in it. In the 56th minute of the match, Aleksandar Kolarov masterfully took a free kick. Keylor Navas, although he tried to save the Costa Rica team from a missed goal, could not reach the ball. The Costa Ricans tried to recapture one ball to the end, but they failed to do so.
Germany 0-1 Mexico
Absolutely everyone was sure that the Germans in the game with the Mexicans would definitely win. However, everything did not turn out the way fans and experts expected. The favorite of the fight was from the first minutes under the powerful pressure of the Mexicans. And for a long time the defense of the Germans repulsed attacks. On 35 minutes, the Germans missed a lightning-fast counterattack, which ended with a goal against Manuel Noer.
In the second half of the game, the Germans went ahead with great forces, while the Mexicans built their game on counterattacks. At the end of the match, the German team staged a real assault on the Mexicans' goal, but they failed to score at least one goal.
Brazil - Switzerland 1:1
Switzerland shocked the favorites of the championship in the first round of the World Cup: in the first minutes, the Tite team could not even go to someone else's half of the field. But soon the Brazilians still managed to take control of the game and score a goal in the 20th minute of the meeting.
In the 50th minute of the game, Shaqiri took a corner from the right, Allison did not go for an interception and was forced to watch Tsuber shoot his goal from the goalkeeper's head - 1:1.
The Brazilian national team immediately rushed to the attack, but the numerous blows of Firmino, Neymar and other Brazilian attack leaders were unsuccessful. The Swiss kept a draw. We can assume that the second sensation of the 2018 World Cup took place.
Pinnacle has prepared the TOP 10 moments of the last 20 World Cups for its 20th anniversary. Short story for every episode and video!
The 1974 World Cup marked a leap forward in tactical football. The Dutch national team in this tournament gave the world the term "total football". The basis for “total football” was laid even before the Dutch specialists by the coach of the “golden team of Hungary”. The Dutch squad for this tournament was arguably the best ever
It was the third game in the group stage, the Dutch team played against Sweden. Participation in this match cemented the name of Johan Cruyff in world football.
Controlling the ball close to Swedish defender Jan Olson, Cruyff fumbles the ball to disguise his special feint. He "wraps" his leg around the ball and cuts it in the opposite direction, leaving Olson out. Thus was born the "Cruyff turn"
Brazil 2014: Germany 7-1 Brazil
Houses and walls help. We can recall the victories of the host countries of the tournament. Uruguay in 1930, Italy in 1934, England in 1966, West Germany in 1974, Argentina in 1978, France in 1998.
But in 2014, things did not go according to plan for the Brazilian national team. In seven minutes in the first half, the German national team buried the hopes of the Brazilians, scoring 4 goals when they were already leading 1-0. The Brazilians, without their mascot Neymar, looked lost and could not oppose the German machine.
The game ended with a score of 7-1. This match was the most devastating in the history of the semi-finals. Head coach German national team Joachim Loew admitted that he asked his players to take pity on the Brazilians during the break.
Switzerland 1954: The Miracle of Bern
In the final match of the 1954 World Cup, West Germany played Hungary. Hungary has been unbeatable for the last 4 years and in final game took a 2-0 lead by 10 minutes. What happened in the next 80 minutes has gone down in football history as the Miracle of Bern.
The West German national team became the World Champion, having managed to win a strong-willed victory with a score of 2-3.
Mexico 1986: Diego Maradona vs. England
"God's hand"
Maradona's second goal
In this game against England, Diego Maradona scored perhaps the most famous goals in football history.
Maradona scored the first goal by beating English goalkeeper Peter Shilton in the air. At first glance, it was an example of the athleticism and speed of a football player. But upon closer inspection, it is clear that the goal was scored by hand.
The second goal has entered the history of football and is one of the most famous goals in history. Maradona beat 6 England players and the goalkeeper, after which he drove the ball into the net.
Chile 1962: Battle of Santiago
The meeting between the national teams of Chile and Italy at the 1962 World Cup was recognized as the craziest match not only in the history of the World Cup, but also in the history of football.
BBC commentator David Coleman did not hold back when replays of the game were shown for a week. "The game you are about to see is the most stupid, disgusting and shameful in the history of football"
The first eight games that were played during the first two days of the tournament included four red cards, three broken legs, a cracked ankle, and a cracked rib.
The Italians played very dangerously in their first game, but now they have faced the hosts of the tournament and stepped up their aggression.
The Chilean players were fueled by the support of the fans, the Italians then wrote about the support of the fans "this is pure madness, Santiago is terrible."
The first foul in the match was recorded already at 12 seconds. The first removal followed four minutes later. Italian football player Giorgio Ferrini refused to leave the field and it took 10 minutes for armed police to force him to leave.
Chilean Leonel Sanchez broke the nose of the captain of Italy, but did not receive any punishment for it. He later repeated this with Mario Davide, who was sent off for backlash.
The game quickly turned into anarchy. In the second half, the police were forced to enter the field twice. The judge stated that he "did not judge Soccer game, but performed in military maneuvers. This game became a black mark in the history of football.
Germany 2006: Zidane vs. Materazzi
This should have been the perfect goodbye. Legendary French midfielder Zinedine Zidane will carry the World Cup and then retire from football. But in the final everything went differently.
Zidane dragged the French national team to the final, knocking out the Brazilians from the tournament. Many consider Zidane's performance in this championship to be the best performance by a single player.
In the 110th minute of the final, as Italy faced France head on, Marco Materazzi said something to the French captain. Zidane was involved in a short dispute.
After Zidane began to leave, but turned around and hit Materazzi with his head in the chest. Zidane received a red card. At that moment, one of the most iconic shots of the World Cup was taken: Zidane last time walked past the World Cup into the locker room.
Italy won the championship on penalties. And Zinedine Zidane has retired from football.
France 1998: will Ronaldo play?
What happened before the 1998 World Cup final?
Why was Ronaldo so lethargic in the 1998 World Cup final in France? What made him sick a few hours before the game? Who and why allowed him to enter the field, despite the illness? All this is one of the biggest mysteries in the history of football and the eternal pain of all of Brazil. Her brightest star, the best young player on the planet and just a killer forward at the decisive moment became helpless and soft.
What happened to Ronaldo? What caused the illness before the final? This remains one of the conspiracy themes for all the media.
Spain 1982: Shame in Gijón
The football match between the national teams of Germany and Austria in 1982 is a notorious football meeting that took place as part of the group stage of the 1982 World Cup in the Spanish city of Gijón. The national teams of Germany and Austria played the last match of the third round of the group stage at the stadium "El Molinon" (another meeting of the third round of the group stage between the national teams of Algeria and Chile took place the day before the match of Germany and Austria). The match ended with the victory of the West Germans with a score of 1: 0, the only goal was scored already in the 10th minute by Horst Hrubesch. Both teams ended the match in next stage, leaving behind the debutants of the world championships from Algeria, who sensationally beat West Germany with a score of 2:1.
The match became infamous in the history of the World Cup: most of the playing time that passed after the German goal, both teams frankly killed time. They did not even try to attack the enemy's goal, since the 1:0 score suited both the West Germans and the Austrians. This fact caused great outrage among football fans both at the stadium and around the world.
This meeting was one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of the 1982 World Cup.
Mexico 1970: Gordon Banks save after Pelé's hit
The most famous goalkeeping feat in World Cup history is Gordan Banks' save at the 1970 World Cup against Brazil. In this episode, Pele did everything so that the goalkeeper could not help his team - the blow was strong, the ball flew into grinding with the bar, and even with a rebound from the ground. Banks did it, making history forever
Gordon Banks is confident Jairzinho will hit the penalty area. He is ready to start from the near post. But the ball flies further - to the far corner of the goalkeeper's area. Succeed from one bar to the opposite. The ball flies to Pele for two seconds. From him - another second. Step. Another one. Throw. The gloved hand reaches out for the ball. It is impossible to catch such a ball. He's almost behind him. Flip - up only
Uruguay 1930: First World Cup
The dream of FIFA President Jules Rimet has been realized. In 1930, Uruguay hosted the first World Cup, paving the way for the next 20 tournaments.
Only 12 teams took part. It was the only championship where there was no qualification for the tournament.
Instead, countries that were members of FIFA were invited to the tournament, of which seven South American countries participated.
European teams were hard to convince to enter the tournament, and clubs refused to let players go. Some players refused a long trip to the championship. Only 4 European teams took part.
Uruguay became the first World Cup winner. In the final, he defeated Argentina 4-2.
