Been really impressed by Russia these last two games. Considering that they're the lowest ranked team, they certainly don't play like it. Saudia Arabia, Panama and Tunisia just to name a few are way worse.
Russia media say this is one of the weakest Russia teams in history

Neymar played his first game since Feb I was told, didn't stop him from being ridiculed.
Where did you get that first game since Feb? He was fit since May, only the brazilian doctor ruled him out until the start of the preparation to not risk injuring himself in meaningless games for PSG. He played 2 friendlies for Brazil before the WC.

FFS these 2 on BBC love Salah , one going on about how long he has been out for !!
Be fair, he hasn't played since the Champions League final. I bet the others have played a lot of league games since in top divisions.
lol

I think he's great and can understand why people want to see him do well after the year he's had, but yeah, the love-in's gotten a bit much at times. Can tell the presents are fairly limited in who they're knowledgeable about when it comes to smaller teams.:lol:

I usually want the hosts to do well cause it's good for the tournament but.. Russia.. c'mon.
What's wrong with Russia? Why shouldn't they do well as the hosts? They are playing with pride and passion. Let them have their moment.

Not sure why. Dzyuba is decent and scores goals in the Europa league all the time. Golovin is good, cheryshev is good, mario Fernandes is good.... on paper they arent bad at all.

Remind me the never support you guys at a major tournament.

Shocking. Just shocking.
It's getting comical at the moment. I'm not even sad. Just laughing.

Rubbish players and rubbish coach.

Russia have been very impressive so far. With the results in other groups going their way, they could potentially face Croatia in quarters and then who knows what can happen if they continue playing like that.
