burrito Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Good evening, From the bottom of Russia’s vast heartland, we offer a heartfelt thanks for taking a chance on an unknown candidate and forwarding us onto the second round. Great care and humility has been shown with our candidacy thus far – traits that will continue unabated until the final tally is released. It has been a long hard road – since the late 1980’s and the ‘opening’ of Russia to the world – to today. We can now proudly open our borders to the world and show them the wonders contained within. Amongst these wonders is the sporting prowess of this giant land. Football is a passion here – not the sole passion – but one that has traditionally unified a split and ethnically diverse nation. Through football we have taken great steps at societal integration and sport is playing a real vital role in raising the self esteem of our youth. A World Cup in 2018 can only forward this progress. Through the celebration of sport Russia can again welcome those who would normally turn a blind eye. We will not hide the issues that face the average Russian – instead we will let you see what we can do when we work together and share a momentous occasion – which is what the 2018 World Cup will be. Our motto is “Bring On The World” – and we stand behind that motto wholeheartedly. Come to Russia. Play in Russia. Enjoy a whole world you may never have thought existed. From the massive expanse of Siberia including the decidedly Asian feel of the major centres to the East – to the European grandeur of St Petersburg – the 2018 World Cup will present a side of Russia that will amaze you all. For the votes previously cast – we thank you. For your future support – we hope to welcome you to Russia 2018! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
