Long Live Putin!!

People strongly underestimated Costa Rica last time.

i root for egypt tomorrow against Uruguay, just because i respect eddary al sayed, and i find salah a fab player

Had expected this to be more competitive. Great result for Russia but Saudi have been so bad that I wouldn't get too excited about it

It was more than just the back that was their problem.:laugh:

They've got two games to turn it around at least, even if it's unlikely.

5-0 win for Russia is the final score. Saudi Arabia completely defeated.

God forbid what Uruguay is going to do to them.

Golovin's goal at the end of the game was just :clap1:

Saudi Arabia's weak performance was kind of expected, I'm more curious about how will Egypt do tomorrow.

i think Saudi's can now play more open, more relaxed now they really got nothing to lose anymore

i hope they can show their true good game

egypt - Uruguay so far 0-0

Egypt squad: El-Shenawy, Ahmed Fathi, Gabr, Hegazy, Abdel-Shafy, Warda, Elneny, Said, Hamed, Trezeguet, Mohsen

Uruguay squad: Muslera, Varela, Gimenez, Godin, Cáceres, Nandez, Bentancur, Vecino, De Arrascaeta, Luis Suarez, Cavani

referee now is Bjorn Kuipers

nice attempt by Vecino

shots at goal so far: 2 for egypt, 5 for uruguay

free kick for Uruguay from Suarez, in the wall :facepalm:


and Trezeguet appears to be slightly injured

egypt trying to break through uruguay's defence to create a chance at goal


so far both their defences are very solid

Uruguay creating more free space now, mostly because egypt started to play more offensive


but no real trouble for egypt's goalkeeper

GODIN :sad: shame the ball went too fast for him


so far i can see this being a 0-0 match, or a late goal by egypt, but it is a exciting match from both sides good quality football

:bawling: Egypt almost a bicycle kick goal for them, shame it didn't go as planned

yep we're nearing half time with 0-0

egypt's players are already physically exhausted D:

our dutch world cup analist for this match is Pierre Van Hooijdonk :love:

:love:

yes wig, Pi-Air :flutter: he was our penalty specialist of the dutch national team

Uruguay have played like ****

nah, they had their chances as well, but egypt's defence was good


egypt was just playing really strong this first half, but they were really exhausted after the first half
