Group A Thread - Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Egypt.

[Leopard]

^ yes, agree.
What Russians had was intelligence. They played smart.

[Arshia42]

I don't know about you guys but this is sort of annoying at the same time. If Saudi were in group B instead of us they would lose each game by 8 goals minimum. We seriously got shafted with this miserable group, so frustrating.

Also they made all of AFC look like shit... but there is a chance tomorrow to remind everyone that there exists strength in Asia.

[Leopard]

Actually we are lucky to be in the tough group. what is the point to go to next round and then fail badly against strong teams. There is only some extra FIFA money for going to the next round. That does not matter. Let's win two matches and then go to next round. This is the way to have glory. We have beaten many teams like Korea Australia and others many times. The time has come to take a bigger step. With CQ we can do it. One team at a time starting tonight....

By the way I heard a British team being interested in JB. I would say the same think I said about Dej. He should not go there,

[Keano]

This just shows how pathetic our league is. We lose to these scum all the time in the ACL.

Nope, we lost to their great foreign players. Take them out of their teams, and see how we'll spank them hard!

The bigger picture is that thr 5-0 loss is bad for AFC.

Correct, that is the only negative outcome of this match

It still doesn't make sense to me why Russia can have a 38 old defender (Who was playing solid), but we can't have the heart of our defense a 36 Hosseini for our Morocco match...

If you don't want to play him against Spain or Portugal fair, that doesn't mean he can't/won't be used if injuries/fitness issues occur.

Hirad jaan, joone Margot joon bee khiyaal dige, seriously nemoodi hamaro with dragging this whole thing. Now that the WC has started at least try to be positive and stop knocking!

You know you’re a lousy team when one of the highlights of your game is to get a corner kick

[Sam van Dam]

before our game vs morocco we will have a moment of silence for saudis 5-0 loss. maybe they'll participate this time!

[Persian-Pride87]

LOL! LOL! LOL! 5-0 against this mediocre Russian team facing injuries to its key players is arguably more embarassing for these losers than their 8-0 against Germany. I never thought the 8-0ers could out do their 8-0 but here we are

I swear to god they should not allow 8-0ers into another WC ever again. They always just end up embarassing the continent.

[Persian-Pride87]

Haha that is an epic double burn comment against the 8-0ers/ 5-0ers!!
Damet garm.

before our game vs morocco we will have a moment of silence for saudis 5-0 loss. maybe they'll participate this time!

[Z Joon]

Saudis performed admirably vs Germany, they play exciting football. They are dark horses of this world cup

[BacheLot]

In Saudi Arabia's last 11 World Cup matches, they have been outscored 34-5 (9 losses, 2 draws)

lol

they are simply a huge source of embarrassment for the whole continent & need to be prevented from further participation in WCs. ..!

I told you guys these pansy asses are gonna be getting manhandled & routed tonight by Russians ..!

[Roozbeh-G2006]

It is really hard to tell what will happen in this group. Anything is possible. Personally I don't trust neither Russia nor SA as the officials of both of these countries are corrupt.

World Cup 2018: Russia thrash substandard Saudi Arabia in opener

"What followed was, all told, a match of low quality between one mediocre team and another that was so bad it was tempting to check Asian qualifying to try to figure how on earth they made it this far. Saudi Arabia were poor, conceding two in injury time added on at the end of the game, and the second post-match question to Pizzi was whether he was likely to be sacked before the next game against Uruguay."

[OFFSIDE_1]

These bumbling fools should have grassrolled from the first minute :-)

[Bessos]

For tomorrow's match I am cheering for Uruguay but I hope that Egypt wins.
