[Kap-the-Head]

That's Russia I know...

 

[King 88]

Ah the russian illusion is dead.

 

[KrejciMVP]

rather lose this game than the next one!

 

[Firsov99]

Smolnikov is no Zhirkov.

 

[Firsov99]

That's Russia I know...

Minus three main squad players though.

 

[TP]

how?

 

[SimplySensational]

Uruguayan players feel a breathing from a Russian and they dive. Yellow card for 2 clear dives, a clear corner not given and then an unearned corner leads to goal against.

 

[Eisen]

how?

Deadly efficiency by Uruguay.

 

[ViD]

All 3 new players are absolute f***ing liabilities

 

[Jussi]

So Russia's keeper has now made his first save of the tournament.

 

[maclean]

Russian defence really not looking great, another couple 100-percent chances there

 

[KrejciMVP]

the turnovers have been bad, but Russia has had some chances. Get 1 this half

 

[Jussi]

Salah has put Egypt ahead.

 

[Firsov99]

Salah has put Egypt ahead.

Amazing. Considering that according to CNN he has quit the team.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Didn't think Russia would be getting smacked this bad.

 

[Firsov99]

Russian defence really not looking great, another couple 100-percent chances there

Two best central defenders are out of the competition with ACL injuries. Russia doesn’t have depth at this position

 

[Firsov99]

Smolnikov at his best.

 

[KrejciMVP]

well then....

 

[maclean]

Ooooch, this could get ugly

 

[Jussi]

Amazing. Considering that according to CNN he has quit the team.

No, he's considering retiring from the national team because he feels he's being used for political purposes (by Kadyrov).

 

[Firsov99]

No, he's considering retiring from the national team because he feels he's being used for political purposes.

According to whom?

 

[ViD]

Well, great choices by Cherchesov, all these new players are completely out of stync and cost us this game

 

[Bondurant]

Laxalt has terrible hair. Despite his hair it's too bad his goal credit was taken away.

 

[Jussi]

According to whom?

Mo Salah considering quitting Egypt national team - CNN

Mo Salah is considering quitting the Egyptian national team due to his unhappiness over what has happened in Chechnya, where the team was based during the World Cup at Russia 2018, a source close to the Liverpool forward has told CNN.

Salah feels exposed by what has happened in Chechnya, the source told CNN. The Liverpool star doesn't wish to engage in topics beyond football or to be used for anyone's political image.

So I guess this would be after the World Cup.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Are Russia certain to face Portugal next?
