Already racked up a hefty fine for wearing the same shirt for three days? Better not get into a dirty car, then! As we said, Russia is determined to clean up its image with the world watching. Dirty cars are banned in cities hosting matches, so please choose your transportation wisely.

To review; always be clean and always ride in a clean car. On the bright side, the fines carry a penalty of 500 rubles, which converts to about eight American dollars. Making a few mistakes aren’t too costly, but it will add up quickly if you can’t make good decisions.
