Everything goes away, but in memory there are always bright events, recalling what we associate with this or that period of your life. Hike to the stadium, victorious emotions, and even goals. Not necessarily very beautiful, but necessary for team success. Kyiv supports Blokhin, Poltava supports Shariy.
