Google rushes to Russia World Cup results... congratulate and offended Russians

Google is known for his passion to various doodles to celebrate tons of global and local events - quite often the company changes its logo on the pages of all local domains or only specific ones depending on the event of the day. As some of you know Russia decided yesterday over a significant reason to celebrate as FIFA, to keep the World Cup in 2018 in Russia - for the first time in Eastern Europe.


Russian football fans and pretty much everyone else are of course very pleased with the opportunity and celebrate. The celebration to support, Google offered a new Doodle for the Russian domain with the Russian flag and soccer balls.


This special attention to our seemingly local celebration of the international Internet giant is certainly nice if not for a fact: someone in the Office Google made a mistake in the colours of the flag so it was white-blue red white red blue instead of the right.


Russian users online discussing which were news, despite the late hour of the night (it was after 1: 00 in Moscow) quickly noticed the error, and someone must have it reported to Google. This led to the Doodle total closer until 2 am and then restore it with the correct flag show.


Google's Russian Office was contacted for clarification and offered: you say someone made a mistake and used the wrong colors. Obviously, they offered an apology for the country and Internet users that are now apparently offended with the error.


Not to complicate things further, here I only uploaded the correct version of the Doodle with the Russian flag (I know, it is to remember the simplest), but for those of you who demonstrate some evidence that the whole situation existed, here is the link to Russian it happened, no matter how crazy it may sound.
