Engraving. The sun of Samara is a handful of pins on the arms, it stings, burns and almost hurts. It is thanks to the breeze, still strong, that the temperature barely reaches 28 degrees. Otherwise, it would be difficult to breathe.
But the heat was still an ally of Colombia. We will suffer in Barranquilla, but it is here that we have been happiest. It is this yellow sun, like the shirt we wear in Samara, which is a motor for those traveling here, full of illusions, as in Saransk and Kazan.
They arrive first, around noon, as if they promised, endure the heat with stoicism: "Does the monkey hit you hard?" I asked them. Hard? I was fond

And they were wrapped, covered, could we say, everyone in his flag. Here, there are small curtains, like scarves, that do not take up much space in the suitcase. There are giants who have the ability to surround dozens of thousands of nationals who are strolling these days on Russian streets. There are layers, which cover from behind to the feet.
There are others that serve to cover the head, others who take the opportunity to humorously take the absolute tension of being forced to win at Samara: "You do not know who I am?" Says the manizaleño of the entrance. And no, we did not know.
Of others give the geographical location: "From Pereira with love", "Envigado Antioquia", "We are from Tunja", until "Villeta Cundinamarca", it is reported.
There are those who are housed as scarves, as balacas, those who serve as skirts, those who have the form of a shirt and those who head their heads, as well as that of the barranquilla that the Russians continued to take pictures with their coastal costume, during the carnival

In them the flags are different, more alive, more beautiful. The colors now accompany the pace and optimism of the thousands of women who have long since ceased to be out of the game and now go to court, with the euphoria that seems to them to be outlawed .
At the flag, the national army is being organized. How many Russian people are taught to shout Colombia, Colombia, Colombia & nbsp; they dance to the accordion lords who cross the stadium to infect the authentic Russian rhythm; the rows are invented to take pictures with the background of & # 39; Samara 2018 & # 39; and in those same quarters they go to non-alcoholic beer – only allowed in sports venues – to convince the head that it is the refreshment that the body needs
They walk slowly, with time , with confidence, with the certainty that we would all feel the anguish of the final against Senegal
They meet in the shade of trees and shots in the back. pbad the good vibrations. I join, I feel a little calmer. And a few hours before the whistle meet again, now with more nerves but without hesitation a second or that James, Falcao, Cuadrado, Mina and company will make it still valid.
[19659020] It is Samara and now it is the capital of faith, which is now covered with only one flag. "Tonight, do not wait in the house!" Said the one from Los Caleños, tied to the trees. It was our night and it was our flag. It was time to go to battle!
