I had to take in Sen-Pol on my portable wireless on-the-go, but what a fucking lovely result!

Into the meaningful games already. Still think Russia beat a very poor Saudi Arabia and the scoreline flattered them, Egypt to win tonight.

Okay I just saw that second Senegal goal on replay and deep roffles, that was brilliant.

Cherchesov looking like you just tried to pay a tram fare with a 1000 ruble note after that last bit of defending.

Second Senegal goal was a goalkeeping error tbh

Of course, former Arsenal goalkeeper after all.

Current match is kinda hmm.

Enjoying the extent to which the BBC are blatantly willing Egypt to win this. They're defending quite resolutely but Salah looks like he's playing with one arm.

Own goals are a thing

Roffle. Honestly Russia deserves to progress out of the group at this point.

going to assume based on these results and historical precedent that russia burned down the cities where their opponents were based just prior to the tournament

if Egypt manages to tie this one by some miracle, expect them to try and score 7 goals against SAudi

Never thought I'd say this, like really, never, but Russia up till now are the WCs best playing team. They're actually playing exciting, attacking football. I don't know what took them so long (last time was before the fall of the Soviet empire iirc, EC '88 runners up was a curse, not a blessing or acievement), maybe shame or a false sense of self-worthlessness, but they are showing up right now.

It's more than that Ned! They've been atrocious for decades. This really is something else.
(maybe you are right and it is just that, still though)
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 19:38 (six years ago) link
I think a lot of it is playing with no expectations behind them. The pressure is totally off. Everyone, in Russia and abroad, had written them off as hopeless.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 19:39 (six years ago) link
xpost No I know they've been rotten, but first they got an even rottener team to beat, then they got a side with a recovering star, plus some good luck to start their goal run. It all helps.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 June 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link
You are both otm, Shari Vari and Ned.
Football wise, Russia for me is the surprise of the WC so far. They're really sinking their teeth into this, in an attacking way.

Dzyuba was excellent

If anything is designed to get you supporting Russia...
― We can be herpes (Tom D.), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link
No chance, they'll collapse sooner rather than later. But they *have* been playing the (imo) best, most attacking football. xp
