England are playing Russia in a Euro qualifier in Moscow today. In fact, they have just this minute kicked off. If England win they are qualified for next year's European Championships. A lot of debate has been spent on the fact that they have to play on a plastic pitch, doubtless an advantage to the home side.
There was a news item about some England fans being attacked in Moscow city centre. With football it seems there always has to be some nonsense like that surrounding the actual event.
I'm listening to the radio as Sky television has this match and so people who don't subscribe to that channel can't watch this vital match. This means that I am now listening to two commentators relating the match proceedings on mobile telephones back to the Radio Five Live studio in England. Not very high-tech but it's sort of exciting and atmospheric.
