This might be the worst game of the World Cup so far.

Zero real attacking chances at this point. Keepers could have taken the 1st 30 minutes off.

Second half has been good, but needs a goal

After Ochoa had the best game of his life, Akinfeev is probably having the worst right now.

Now he waits and watches helplessly, hoping his offense does something that would get him off the hook

Both keepers have been unreliable in this match, it was only a matter of time before someone screwed up.

Russia can't afford to lose. The mob already took Akinfeev's thumbs.

Koreans aren't a threat in the air and yet the Russians keep leaving the middle of the pitch open for them.

I didn't expect a tie. Hopefully Korea can beat Algeria. I don't expect that either.
