    Was this projected on to a giant screen (or some such thing)? Or, were they putting this together for Russian television? The accompanying commentary is odd – makes me think they were still working on it.

    The dramatic ending to the first movement of Tchaik’s “Manfred” would be suitable for Mexico’s stunning upset over Germany.
