[ViD]

Russia WOW

Is this real life ?

 

[cgf]

Egyptians just capitulating

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Russia looks really good. Where they supposed to be good?

Russia looks really good. Where they supposed to be good?

They've played Saudi Arabia and a team whose best player is nowhere near fit.

I mean they've played well, but like, look who they've played.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[cgf]

Native American Russian costume? Huh?

My father comes from a weird country...

 

[ViD]

Russia looks really good. Where they supposed to be good?

No, I thought they would finish with 1 point

I am eating the delicious crow

 

[TP]

Wait til Russia plays a good team.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Still, for 70th best World team they don't look that bad.

 

[Shrimper]

Hoping doping control are on standby.

they are playing like the 90's redwings right now

That goal by Dzyuba was elite striker level stuff

Hard to believe

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Russia aren't world beaters, but given how little respect they got ahead of the tournament they've certainly acquitted themselves well so far.

 

[nazartp]

Wait til Russia plays a good team.

Uruguay should be an OK test. In any case, I don't believe they'll pass either Spain or Portugal in the next stage.

And somehow they pulled it off without a single EPLer, to the shock of all!

That's true. They took a lot of flak and deservedly so.

FIFA rankings are garbage. They've played well.

Morocco or Iran will end up winning that group somehow, with spain or Portugal going through in second to join the rest of the contenders on the other side of the bracket from russia...

The only teams I know that came in as good on paper were Portugal, Brazil, and maybe a couple others. Russia is dominating their group, but then maybe they got a fortunate draw.

I just wish it were true...

 

[Live in the Now]

I think Uruguay will wind up experimenting in the last game. Not to prematurely make an excuse, but that's what I would do. There's no difference in playing Spain or Portugal.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Cheryshev is on fire.

 

[KrejciMVP]

come on, no PK

 

[cgf]

I just wish it were true...

If Renard hadn't been such a coward against Iran, it would be a lock.
