Russia v Saudi Arabia


Enigma

Recommended Posts

So, Russia maybe a bit better than expected, or Saudi just really, really shite?
This goal difference might come in handy.
Bit of both I think, getting an early goal gave Russia a bit of confidence.

There's something quite pleasing about a cross coming in and being thunderc**ted into the net by some massive b*****d with his head. Sometimes feel crossing the ball is a dying art.


Dzyuba is a big fucking lump of a boy eh? Definitely would sling any ‘yer maw’ patter his direction!

Did they qualify ahead of the likes of Qatar? 2022 should be a laugh.

There's two final groups of 6 in Asian qualifying. KSA were second in group B; Qatar were bottom of group A.

In fairness, KSA do pretty well at home but don't travel well. Qatar were pish though and got beat at home by China and Uzbekistan.

Indeed. Four points and a decent GD could be enough in this group.

In all seriousness, the inclusion of dross like this Saudi Arabia team undermines the reputation of the World Cup. It is surely in grave danger of being regarded as a diddy tournament. 

The group stage has lacked a bit of drama since they went to 32 teams. It's going to get much worse when they go to 48 teams, in 16 groups of 3, with the top 2 going through. For most it's going to be a game of "beat the shit team (aka Scotland) and you're through."
