Britain admitted that Russia surpassed Germany in organizing the World Cup
If the level of the current World Cup remains at the same high level as at the group stage, then we can safely say that Russia held the best World Cup in history.
About this in interview Former Liverpool and England national football team player Stan Collymore, who is currently covering the World Cup as a journalist, told Izvestia.
The publication asked the British guest to evaluate the level of organization of the current world football championship, which is taking place in Russia.
“Of all the World Cups I attended, the one that most impressed me in terms of the level of organization was the World Cup in Germany. According to many criteria: accessibility of facilities, free movement of fans, security, assistance from the local population. I was delighted and thought that hardly anyone would reach the level of the Germans. But Russia did it. The 2018 World Cup is in no way inferior to the 2006 World Cup, and in some aspects even surpasses it. I think that if the level of organization of the playoffs and the final match is at the same high level as that of the group stage, then we can safely say that Russia held the best World Cup in history,” Collymore believes.
