MOSCOW (Reuters) - Soccer fans planning to watch Russia take on Uruguay in the World Cup on giant outdoor screens in Moscow on Monday should consider watching the game in bars and restaurants rather than at the official FIFA fan zone, local officials said on Saturday.
Russia's surprise success at the World Cup, going through to the final-16 for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union, has energised thousands of soccer fans across the country and the Russian side is due to take on Uruguay in the city of Samara on Monday evening.
