Ouch.
I mean, they have a home advantage, but they might be the worst team in the tournament. Hope you've got a nice meal planned.

I‘m smart...I already lowered her expectations to the point of „be glad if you dont die when I cook“. So I can only impress

Did they just pipe in applause for Putin through the sound system?
Guess not. That sounded wonky though.

Russia ranks low in FIFA rankings because they didn’t have to qualify so they were just playing friendlies, but they’re definitely much better than Saudi Arabia. Their players are worth 10x as much by transfermarkt. It will be a huge disappointment if they fail to win.

True, but they're missing quite a few key players through injury, mostly in defence. Kokorin too.

I had this one as a 1-1 draw, refusing to stick my neck out for either team.
Now I kinda hope the Saudis win so that Foye has to show off his culinary skills for a lady.

2-0, this one looks done. Saudi defence is horrific.

I'm in for a boring second half.

Boring start even with 2:0... This is why im against expanding WC to 48 teams. I don't want to watch these bad teams like Saudi Arabia, with all due respect.
