"Russia has opened an information centre at its tourist office in London to help ease England fans' fears about hooligans at the 2018 World Cup." (BBC.com)
When I read this the first time I missed the "in London" part and I imagined English fans in Russia running into a tourist office, instead of a police station, to say they were being chased by a Russian mob. But, ah, the office is in London. So English supporters can go there before they go Russia to ask what they should do if they are being chased by a Russian mob.
And why only London, and only English supporters? I can't really imagine that if any Russian hooligans are looking for a fight they aren't going to share hugs and beers with the Poles, or Croats, or anybody else really. And also why England when they still have their work cut out to guarantee qualification? Malta may have a say on September 1st......
