Poland played Russia today in Warsaw. There was a fairly charged Russia Day march to the stadium that drew some protests and led to some injuries and arrests. Apparently, there is still quite a bit of bad blood between Poles and Russians.
The game was a pretty good 1-1 draw.
They showed an aerial shot of the stadium in Warsaw during halftime- it's right on the Vistula. My PbP had an episode there where my players lauched a rescue mission to free a group of civilian hostages being held in the stadium by the Black Baron's men. The Baron was using de facto slave labor to build a fort there, on the ruins of the old stadium. Anyway, it was kind of trippy seeing the area on TV.
