buster. 4,974 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Didn't watch the game but the Russians have started with a bang,.......... interesting ! Always good to see the hosts do well. Good to see my favourite Russian footballer, Cheryshev get a couple. He was the player that Real Madrid played by mistake in a Cup-tie and got booted out, sending my wee Spanish team through, Cadiz. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,027 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Russia were not that great; Saudi Arabia, although starting lively, didn't do anything and were terrible defensively. 5-0 flattered them, I think. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were my exact words. 1st 10 minutes Saudi Arabia were showing some neat 1 touch passes in little triangles. Completely fell apart after the 1st goal and the 2nd goal is the goal that you would constantly show to youngsters when telling them "stay on your feet"..... 5-0 flattered the Russians. The Saudi's were so poor that this result tells us nothing, other than that the Saudi team are there just to make up the numbers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really say much as I didn't see it but 5 goals in a WC match aren't to be dismissed lightly. The least it will give them is confidence, momentum, GD boost and a decent chance of making the next round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,554 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 BTW, within the last 14 days or so, Germany lost at home 2-1 to Austria and won 2-1 against the Saudis, who missed a great chance to equalize late on. Some of the Saudis showed good footwork and ability, the end product was woeful though. Wonder how some of them would fare if tried in a more demanding surrounding. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,264 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The Ruskies did a number on em. Yeah, the win was predictable, the score though, damn son! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a very ordinary side that will most likely get tanked in their next two games ... but Saudi Arabia were just dreadful ... useless ... pathetic ... hopeless ... and probably shouldn't be at a WC finals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,299 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 A run of the mill game with a couple of good goals and easy to see not many have plied their trade in Western Europe.How do I surmise that? look at their arms no mutilated skin 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Ergs 1,513 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I thought it was all a bit predictable, and though it started off well enough , a selfish decision in the middle to do 'Feel' when surely the Take That classic 'Rule the World' would've been more appropriate, ruined it a bit for me. . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
