GROUP A - Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay

[KaiserEFC]

The commentators here seem amazed that a country from outside of Europe and South America know how to play football. Hoddle had probably never heard of Saudi Arabia before this game though

Steve Walsh would have signed 3 of these lads by now.

Not a left back in the world available he said.

Not seen this Saudi lad I take it.

 

[4737carlin]

Finding it hard to spot the Saudi players playing in green on the green pitch

Steve Walsh would have signed 3 of these lads by now.

One of whom would have been Dzagoev.

Dreadful game this. If this is the cream of saudi and russian players....well its clearly off.

That was their plan to beat the Russians, unfortunately they can’t see each other either

 

[navidson]

2-0

Quality finish that

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

One of whom would have been Dzagoev.

And probably most of the Saudi defence.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Saudi Arabia regretting hiring Ashley Williams as temporary defensive coach in preparation for the tournament.
