World Cup: Group A: Russia vs. Egypt, 6/19/2018

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.

They did luck into that group. Not to make the second stage would be a complete disgrace for the team.

Good decision from the VAR crew

 

[Shrimper]

Glad Mo has a goal.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wow, looks like it'll be an early flight home for Egypt. If Uruguay tops Saudia Arabia that pretty much wraps up Group A, no?

 

[KrejciMVP]

getting those 3 goals really helps now

 

[Live in the Now]

Good job son. You deserve it.

 

[TP]

Nice penalty.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Russia has already scored much more goals than I thought they would..

Yep. Will just be 1/2 seeding.

Yep, a Uruguay win tomorrow would put them and Russia through to the knockouts, obviously as long as Russia hangs on for the win here.

Wait, the Russian player pretty much took the Egyption player down and it wasn't a penalty? Bad non-call.

 

[Live in the Now]

Um that was a penalty too.

 

[TP]

The color guy "They were tugging each other, good non call" Is he on drugs?

 

[Evilo]

No, Egypt player actually tied the defenseman's shirt first.

In any case, Russia might face weak teams on paper, but so have plenty of favourites who have struggled.
Kudos to them to getting the job done and doing it in style.

Russia seems to be the better team, why the need to dive on the yellow card and that tackle in the box not called by the refs.

Nah, Uruguay has to top the group to make sure they're on the same side of the bracket as us, France, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Colombia & Spain/Portugal.

 

[Evilo]

Golovin botched that counter. Nice pass to set him up.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

If this was Hockey, Russia is doing a ton of clutching and grabbing.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Zhirkov really sounds like Jerk off too much.

 

[Savi]

I've never heard of Russia's #11 but I think he played really well today.

 

[Sol]

Russia shouldn't be sitting back so much

 

[cgf]

I've never heard of Russia's #11 but I think he played really well today.

Zobnin, he's one on the right side of 25 as well.

 

[KrejciMVP]

inspiring effort from Russia to get into the next round. They play a very good unselfish team game. Good test vs Uruguay and not needing any points is good.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Russia will win the World Cup.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Russia will win the World Cup.

that home crowd!
