Group A Thread - Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Egypt.
The Egyptian goalkeeper, Mohamed El-Shenawy, refused his Man of the match award since it is sponsored by an Alcohol Company.
In addition to the alcohol issue, should an Iranian player be man of the match - Budweiser won't award the prize as it will be a violation of US sanctions.

If Salah plays and Egypt defend the way they did against Uruguay than there's no way Russia should be getting three points here.
I think they have a midfield that looks a bit neutered because they had no outlets on either side. For the most part when they tried to create something the front-men were not able to hold the ball long enough for help to arrive. That will change if Salah comes on because they can then start playing longer balls out from the back since they have someone with speed to pick them up further up the pitch.
