Wow huge blow to Russia if Dzagoev is done this WC.

[DireStraits]

Some people thought since they lost 2-1 to Germany they would win Russia with ease.

[Roozbeh-G2006]

what a subpar football

[OFFSIDE_1]

in normal times, this Russian team would be a Pot 3 team.

[Tehranto]

This Russian team is toothless. They still seem jittery despite scoring. Come on lads. Do this for Putin.

Watching KSA play reminds me of some of the ways Iran used to play before CQ, specially defensively but also offensively.

This just makes me wanna keep CQ even more!!!

As appose to before, we could easily beat this KSA if we met them in the AC.

There is always a psychological thing with Saudis, when they play Iran. They are like a persistent fly that when seem like they are easy to swat but it's harder than it looks.

[Roozbeh-G2006]

Ok so no ref advantage established

Even with that in mind, we could still easily beat them now. We don't make the same stupid defensive errors like before and we attack collectively as a team and with an actual plan. That's the biggest difference.

[OFFSIDE_1]

should have been a yellow for the saudi player

[OFFSIDE_1]

oh my god ..... this Russia team sucks. Also having scored a goal so early may not be a great thing for them. Wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis equalize

[Roozbeh-G2006]

Glad our boys can watch two games and see how VAR works

I see more goals in their belly actually

[TM4LIFE]

Russians need to capitalize on their aerial advantage more, these saudis look like a bunch of moorcheh on the field

[kastro]

We definitely have better talent than both these teams even without Salah. Should be 6 points.

Edit: Saudi defence is abysmal.
