[Live in the Now]

Not bothering with the teams again, no offense.

Result depends whether Salah plays or not here.

One of those games where a draw will most likely be enough for Russia. I hope they don't have that mindset and go for the win.

Is Salah playing?

 

[Tuggy]

Looks like a draw here to me. 1-1

Is Salah playing?

99%

I'd like Egypt to win to make the group interesting

 

[Eye of Ra]

imagine if egypt had zidan, zaki and mido upfront with saleh...

Russia win makes it very interesting for me

I want to say africa goes 2-for-2 today, but Russia are the hosts, and they need at least a draw out of this before that Uruguay match to finish this group

Saw that the Golovin to the Juve transfer as not been completed and Arsenal is trying to move in. I will be glued to the lad yet again this game

 

[robertmac43]

With a win Russia advances out for the group stage for the first time

With a win Russia advances out for the group stage for the first time

Yup, the fix is in.

As long as Egypt gives Salah the ball they'll be fine.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Crowd looks excited

 

[ViD]

Refs just missed a corner for Russia

 

[Live in the Now]

That was close.

 

[sansabri]

Egypt making too many rookie mistakes. Pace is great, though.

 

[KrejciMVP]

turnover almost hurt Russia there

 

[KJS14]

I don't think it's likely Egypt scores if the Russians keep playing the 'make someone besides Salah beat you' game.

[ViD]

Egyptian kit makes it look like we’re playing Germany

 

[Live in the Now]

Russia's stopping Salah strategy is starting to have downsides. Other players are starting to get more room.

 

[Shrimper]

This is a dull game compared to the others.

 

[Dr Pepper]

^Sure seems that way. 23 GDT posts at the half? Dullsville.

 

[Alklha]

Almost everything Russia do defensively seems somewhat panicked.
