Administrator Stan Posted June 16, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 16, 2021 Superb goal from Miranchuk. Floated in. Nice link-up with Dyzuba.

It's been intense, much better than Spain vs Sweden Yes, it’s end to end with nearly zero quality other than the goal. Mis-hit passes everywhere, dribbling into opposition players needlessly, Russia’s CF just standing there. Quality of the game has been terrible even if it has been end to end
Eco Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Good half from Russia. Obviously a must win if they are going to proceed, and so far they are looking decent enough to be ahead.

Other than that they hadn't done much and were lucky Finland haven't been better to capitalise on the sloppiness and mistakes in defence.

Yesterday we had two teams with players of high quality yet the match was average. The quality might be low here but at least its entertaining

Dzyuba is great on his day, but he doesn't create. Not a lot of true play makers for Russia right now, so really if the game is closed off, games tend to be boring. No joke, Arshavin was the greatest Russian playmaker over a couple of generations, but since those days, there has been good games by players, but no one player has had the ability to skillfully take over the game time and time again.

Golovin isn't bad but he comes across a one man band in a team full of average players.

Cheryshev had a decent WC2018 if I remember correctly. Golovin was meant to be the 'next best' for Russia but even his good performances at Monaco seems to have fizzled out (injury-impacted, so can give him the benefit of the doubt).

Eco Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Great save there from the Fin keeper, and would likely have been a goal had it been slightly deflected from those two defenders.

Eco Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 That was sweet there from Sobolov, but Golovin skies it.

Eco Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Just now, Danny said: European Championships Again, this isn't the worst game played, but on the lower end when it comes to talent available between the two sides. It's like being mad that you're watching a boring EPL match, but not taking into effect that you're also watching Norwich and West Brom.

No, this is a European Championship and there shouldn’t be a number of teams not normally good enough to be here just because UEFA want more TV money. The quality overall has been so bad in this game, and I’m not complaining, just pointing out a fact. Baffled as to why people are upset over reading a fact I am also aware both teams finished 2nd in qualifying, but still it was a very poor game
