This has real been quite an ordeal. This has been a real matter of pride and dignity for the Russian people.

The mood here is euphoric.

a very tense process.

The mood here is euphoric ... This is being looked upon as a miracle in this small Russian town,

That game we won last week was for pride, dignity and the city of New Orleans. That's how we have to finish the season, with that same mentality.

We won with pride and dignity on Tuesday and we lost with the same pride and dignity on Friday. You can't ask for more from the team and I congratulate them.
