Moscow In the penalty shootout against host Russia's Croatia, losing the Football World Cup quarter-final match on Saturday, the enthusiasm of "Ross-si-or" was stopped on the streets and the tears in the stadium ceased.
With the loss of the match, performance in the tournament was far better than expected and the emotional end of the Russian journey reached the last eight. With this, his hopes of reaching the semi-finals for the first time since 1966 were shattered. Penalty shootout was played after the match was equal to 2-2 in the regular and extra time, after which the host team lost to 3-4.
Russia's team wrote on twitter: "We are tears in the eyes but we are getting out of the tournament by taking our heads with pride." Russia has the fullest reason to feel proud. With the start of the World Cup, the media felt that the lowest ranking team in the tournament would win luck only with luck. But Russia proved everyone wrong.
Russia also tried to give the best on their side in Saturday's match but this time luck was not with him and he might have lost the match but succeeded in winning the hearts of millions of football lovers of the country and the world. While greeting the game of Russia, a popular local newspaper wrote in the title of his news, "The winner of our hearts." The newspaper praised it after writing that Russia knows how to play football.
Thanks everyone
