GROUP A - Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay

[Nymzee]

Godin is hands down worlds best CB. Still.

 

[Eggs]

Torreira is like a much better Gana isn’t he.

..he’s terrific, my son tells me he’s a converted forward. Disciplined to sit in, more Makelele given that position but I like him lots.

I’d very much spend the £30m or whatever they wanted for him.

The little fella is the one we were linked to that’s going to Arsenal.

..yep, linked with Vecino as well.

The LB is Laxalt. I can’t think if we’ve been linked but I popped his name up as one to watch for us.

..funny enough, looked at him myself for the same reason. Again, good size about him, he looked comfortable covering centrally when the ball is on the other side.

The Wendell links might be jarg, but £32m for a LB that isn’t in his country’s World Cup squad and doesn’t have an international cap makes me think there must be quality value elsewhere.

There definitely is value elsewhere I don't know where these sums come from. He had an OK game yesterday but as an example that Sane starting CB for Senegal yesterday just moved for £8m.

Salah's Egypt beaten by Saudia Arabia with the last kick of the game.

Disgraceful really, they should have let him win after all that's happened to him

Saudia Arabia let him score an easy goal to be fair, just to spare his feelings

 

[daza_1973]

Wonder how Egypt fared in the alternative world cup ?
Can just picture those 40 year old virgins sat in their mothers box rooms crunching the numbers right now...

Hahaha the world's best player part of the only team so far to lose every group game

Hes up there with Ronaldo and Messi apparently yet can't help his team defeat Saudi Arabia!!!

To be fair he's only human, how can he hope to compete with those World beaters
