[RossFC]

Anyone notable from Russia or Saudi Arabia? Akinfeev?

Russian coach sounds like a Mad Dog.

Operation Flashpoint.

Alright, officially checking in for World Cup, 2018. Let's hope we get a good game first up.

Yuri Zhirkov

The Russian players would be shot and executed if they lost this.

Stakes are too high. They need to make an impression in the first game of this world cup on home soil.

Russia 2 - Saudi Arabia 0

Russia totally overrated in this game - Saudi's are trash, but Russia has looked allergic within cooee of oppo's box lately. Draw my tip, unless Putin comes on as a late sub (in that case 33-0 to Russia).

I thought that flog who spat on Spiranovic in the AFC Champions League final was playing for the Saudis but he didn't make the final squad.

Var room,can see some controversies coming from that room.

 

[Wolfs]

Ooft. I'm not going to be used to the ticker being at the bottom.

Let's go Russki's

Russia 2 - Saudi Arabia 0

Yep, this would be their easiest game too. Egypt and Uruguay for mine will be favourites in Russias other 2 games.

Come on Saudi’s I’ll ride you to the trophy.

Ignashevich is 39, that's a damn good effort

 

[jarrod_island_doggies]

Interesting non-call maybe?

 

[ioppolo]

Saudis at least showing intent. They also look cleaner than Russia in possesion.

 

[Temploar]

Saudis look good with the ball at their feet.

Saudis at least showing intent. They also look cleaner than Russia in possesion.

Look like they could get shaky transitioning through right back though

 

[Temploar]

That crowd is electric.

 

[Temploar]

Shocking corner kick.

 

[Coasters7]

If these two are the worst two in the entire cup I think the Socceroos are in for a tough ride. Saudis looking very clean and more creative than I’ve ever seen us play.

 

[Hawks1994]

Saudis aren't without a chance. Both are fairly rubbish so should be more evenly matched than most are predicting

Lowest combined ranking of an opening world cup game ever?

 

[jarrod_island_doggies]

Great ball in

 

[smasha]

Gooooooooaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll

Russia

Sweet goal
