    Also, have you seen that M&S is reporting a waistcoat sales spike of 35%, possibly because England boss Gareth Southgate has been looking so dapper.

    Firstly, take a look at this...

    Fancy lighting, immaculate flooring and stunning architecture - not a five-star hotel, but Moscow's impressive underground system.

    Thousands of fans have been using it to get to games at this World Cup.

    Slightly more stylish than having to trudge through an industrial estate without a pub in sight.

    Now, this is the point where I would usually invite you to get involved.

    But, before I do that, there's a couple of things I'd like to bring to your attention...

    I've tried it. It's the future. It's how our parents must have felt when they saw colour TV for the first time.

    Welcome. How's your Sunday going? I think the temperature is hitting something near gas mark one in some parts of the UK.

    Are you out about, soaking in the rays? Having to visit the in-laws? Being dragged around a garden centre? Sunning it in the garden?

    Whatever you're doing, we've got this one covered...

    Except, Spain haven't looked quite so mighty.

    The 3-3 draw with Portugal was perhaps the match of the tournament so far, but then they had to squeak past Iran and score late to earn a draw with Morocco.

    It's not as if the Spanish are there for the taking, but Russia have a sniff.

    Just imagine the party in Moscow if the hosts pull this one off...

    And so to the Luzhniki Stadium, and a knockout tie that even Russia fans weren't sure that their side would make. Before the tournament began, there were some calling this team Russia's "worst ever".

    However, a 5-0 win over Saudi Arabia started the World Cup with a bang and a further victory over Mo Salah's Egypt sealed a place in the last 16.

    Now, it's the might of the 2010 world champions.

    Now, this story probably has absolutely no bearing on the Spain v Russia World Cup last-16 tie being played in front of 80,000 baying home fans in Moscow today.

    But it was put to Cherchesov yesterday. The manager's response?

    "Anyone can be a god if he tries."

    Deep.

    The Russians went behind after 10 minutes but, inspired by two goals from Dmitri Radchenko, won 3-1 to pull off a major upset.

    In goal that day for Spartak was current Russia manager Stanislav Cherchesov. In the Real side was Spain's emergency boss Fernando Hierro.

    In March 1991, Spartak Moscow traveled to Spain to meet the might of Real Madrid in the second leg of the European Cup.

    After drawing the first leg 0-0 at home, Spartak weren't fancied.
