Uruguay should piss this group based on that performance. Suarez and Cavani will rip the Saudis to bits.

On the plus side,  Paddy Power are donating £10k to LGBT+ charities for every Russian goal, so thats £50k right away.  Good going Paddy Power.

The same applies to Saudi Arabia- they are not particularly well known for promoting LGBT rights.  Normally the only rights they give is a one way trip off a tall building.

I hope this is the start of a high scoring tournament. Lots of goals plenty of competition with the occasional shock result (down to adventurous attacking play).

For all the Salah hype, Russia have worked out the best way to neutralise him is to starve him of the ball so far

Salah is still not 100% so he's easy to contain.

Spain and Portugal should see off both the Group A winner and runner-up, with ease.

Imho Portugal is too dependant on 1 player so nothing will be easy for them. Any day that Ronaldo struggles Portugal will struggle.

Uruguay are good, I wouldn’t be so confident they’d be walked over.

Salad wasn’t fit at all and it felt like watching England forcing Beckham or Rooney back

Portugal hardly set the world alight against Morocco to be honest John. Apart from Russia, no team has really got out of first gear yet.

What the he'll was the defender doing in the wall. Just cleared the way for Suarez to place it that side.

As soon as Russia face good opposition they collapse despite having a record for their first two games of:
Played: Two: Won Two: Goals Scored Eight: Goals Conceded One: Points Six.

Let's hope England can do better.
