Got 11/11 right. Looks strong
First time this season?Of course. He is/was very popular everywere except USA. Tried to make it there,but failed. He was constantly mistaken for Robin Williams.
Day 1: Opening Ceremony and Russia vs Saudi Arabia (Kick-off: 16h00 BST)
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
First time this season?Saudi’s look decent.
As someone with an Ukrainian grandfather, I consider all Russians to be Zhirkovs.
Russia look shite.
Saudi Arabia appealing for a penalty. Not realising that the ref won't give them one for anything short of a decapitation and even then there is a 50% chance he winds up in the Volga.
Atmosphere sounds great, awesome. This is one of the worst matches of the tournament.
Saudi's look a nicer team to watch at this point. Might not be great but they put some nice passing combo's together.
Hopefully a 0-0
Saudi look decent actually. Nimble, technical players.
Yurinsane!!! *I'll get my coat*
"Stalin had a proper tashe"
Fcuking hell.
Fcuking hell.
Russia have been poor so far, making their opposition look better than they are.
Some of the Russian players are skinny. They need to bulk up.
Thought Denis Cheryshev would be starting this. He's a decent enough player in La Liga.
Saudi keeper with some funny kicking
In General I'd put Saudi as marginally better team anyway tbf
Good game.
I'm quite surprised, I last saw a Saudi team maybe a decade ago, and they were very different in style.
Saudi looks decent, but Russia must take this right?
Saudi surprising me with the way they knock the ball about when they get chance. My own ignorance made me think they'd be a massively defensive team playing route one.
I reckon we'll have a gulag reference by the 20th minute"Stalin had a proper tashe"
Fcuking hell.
Zhirkov still playing? He is,what, 50?
Saudi defence looks hopeless anytime Russia run at them.
Russia 1-0
Very nice.
Straightforward enough.
There u go baby!
There it is!
Great cross to be fair. Shite defending.
Bollocks.
FIRST BLOOD
Told ya, Saudi have same defence they had in 2002 by look of it.
Definitely felt like that was coming ,
Lovely header
Not been a bad game this.

Clear foul ?
Picture has frozen but I hear Russians cheering. Have they scored or have they purged some more homosexuals?
Keeper had lead in his boots then.
Russia slowly grew into the game despite KSA dominating at first.
Good goal, decent world cup opener so far.
Good goal, decent world cup opener so far.
Nice to see 2hirkov still playing.
Nice ball from golovin that. Saudi's dont look great
Looks like the worst Saudi player is their keeper
