2018 FIFA World Cup: Group A (Russia/Saudi Arabia/Egypt/Uruguay)

[CalamityX12]

Got the pts we needed but not the display I wished... I knew Egypt was going D it up so it was expected but even so...

perhaps a more open attacking team in Russia will be better to view in the final gm.

Congrats Russia

Got this one as 4-0 to Uruguay, 1-0 so far after about half an hour

Saudi defence is really something else

[CalamityX12]

Personally want to see the Uruguay offense score more but as long as we get the 3 pts then I'm good....

The changes in the lineup were expected... hopefully my young sons see some time in the 2nd half, got to build their confidence up.

Saudi playing much better but that's because Uruguay plays more of a patient attack than aggressive.

Wait, I thought you were Colombian like our boy J-Mezz? I was confused earlier when you referred to Uruguay as we. Dual nationality?

Uruguay are incredibly dull, though. But they don't need to be good to beat Saudis and Egypt. They have the talent to step up when it counts.

exactly, even at 1-0.... i'm like you need to find more goals... Saudi needs you to mess up once to tie the game...

[CalamityX12]

Cavani!!! damn great effort he created for himself...

he's a guy who needs a goal badly... many times he be the one to come all so close....

disaster for Russia. Down 2-0 and now a red card, still first half

[magik9113]

Another soft yellow given after VAR review. Call it a penalty, sure, but jeeez what’s with these yellows

[CalamityX12]

Uruguay more aggressive this time and I'm not surprised due to my anticipation that both Egypt and Saudi were much more firm to the defensive hold than Russia. Thus leaving Russia open for the counters etc...

Sucks to get the two yellows for that player, misses next gm. I'm not 100% on Russian players so I hope he wasn't a very good player for them or at least not replaceable.

Russia is pushing back

[sovietchild]

Has Egypt ever won a game in world cup?

[Dr_Heat]

Wow Saudi Arabia

It looks like Egypt never won a game in world cup.

[sovietchild]

What were they thinking of partying with the Chechens? Did Egypt got a free ticket to Chechnya?

[AK47MVP]
