Russia might end up winning this group.
They look the only team that has any attacking plan tbf. Even if the opposition wasnt great, they knew where to go and how to create space. Was probably the biggest question mark group as not many had any clue for any of the teams.... I'd say Russia and Egypt if Salah is fit enough to start the other 2 games

probably. Although on paper they are even worse than Egypt from what I've seen.
Egypt draw changes dynamics.

Draw v Russia would be enough if they beat Saudi and Uruguay beat Russia.

Well played Egyptian keeper just now.

Egypt got to be careful in these final minutes. A point against the best team in the group would be huge for them.

Yeah! and only 20 yrs old. Always seen him play in an advanced role through the middle or the right. but hes all over the pitch today. looks like a special player.

This game has actually opened up a little but there’s so much donkey play.

That Sanchez chap is putting together a display to be remembered.

Granted, hes shit, and it'll be remembered for the wrong reasons. His passing is some of the worst I've ever seen.

aye, looked straight forward group, especially with that Russia win yesterday. If it ends like this Egypt has a very good chance of going forward, especially with Salah also coming on.

We could potentially see all 3 teams with 4 pts. Russia scoring 5 goals yesterday could be crucial.

I predicted Egypt would be poor, but Uruguay have been even worse. Impossible to call this group right now.

Egypt would have won this game easily (they may still do) if Salah was playing. No doubt.
