Hop on hop off and the soccer match starts

Our favourite way to see the highlights of a city is of course the hop on hop off bus. Here as in Finland there are two different Hop On Hop Off companies.  We were in a line of 20 people waiting for the bus. Not sure that we would be able to even get on the bus due to the crowd.  All six of us found seats as half of the people were turned away.  They had tickets for the Hop On Hop Off (other flavor).  We were able to see the port area and multiple outdoor viewing areas.  Lots of people were in yellow and blue rooting on Sweden in the world cup.  After the tour around town we found a basement bar showing the game. We watched the end of the match with beer and wine. The crowd had a restrained whoop session at the end.
