Why are they not clamping down on all this blatant holding in the box??? 

They give us VAR to tell us the games will be fairer then don't use the fucking things when it matters...

I Also love how at the world cup the tv producers show close ups of all the fittest girls in the crowd supporting any nation apart from England . I guess they just can't find any?

Aren't English girls mostly ugly ?

ANOTHER own goal  

[Azeem]

Another own goal by a North African team. 

[Azeem]

Keeper showd have stopped that

[Azeem]

Egypt's midfield is poo

[Stan]

That's a good goal. No fortune about that.

2-0 to Russia. Cheryshev on the scoresheet again.

[Mel81x+]

Egypt are going home after that there's really no coming back from that and if they do it will be a superb match.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Take Salah off please and don't play him against KSA. Nice try Egypt, but you look pretty shite.

[El Profesor]

Mario Fernandes is playing better than Danilo. 

[Eco]

Russians are thus far the surprise for me in this tournament. Looking like another route is on the way. 

[Stan]

3-0!!! 

[RandoEFC+]

Good goal from Russia and that's surely lights out for Egypt. I feel for them the way things have gone at the tournament so far.

This goes to show what an advantage it is to get a gimme like Saudi Arabia or Panama to settle you into the tournament.

[Eco]

My god 

[RandoEFC+]

And another one!

[...Dan]

I put a fiver on Egypt an hour ago.

[El Profesor]

Dzyuba is a tank. What a goal. 

Russia is the positive surprise in this tournament. 

[Cicero]

And just like that, Salah's chances for the Balon d'Or have greatly diminished. 

[Stan]

So Egypt need Saudi Arabia to do a job on Uruguay tomorrow to have any hope  

Good luck.

Liverpool fans must be delighted Salah comes home early unscathed.

[Bluebird Hewitt]

Has the Russia team changed much from Euro 2016 at all?

I know the Saudi's are wank but I expected a much tighter game against Egypt.

Hmm, doesn't help that Saudi and Egypt have pretty much rolled over for them.

However it does make it better when the host nation qualifies past the group stage. They'll get worked out and done over against much better quality sides.

[RandoEFC+]

Just give Russia the World Cup now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No ninja face down here, I'm being serious.

[Carnivore Chris]

Impressive start to the tournament for Russia.They look on a mission right now and with having the home advantage, that will help them kick on even more.

 

[Marc]

I put money on Egypt too. All the Russian Journos keep saying how shit Russia are and their pre-tournament form was beyond awful, yet they've got a +8 goal difference after 160 mins of football.

Mr obvious here, but Salah nowhere near fit
