Meanwhile in the World of crazy: UNBELIEVEABLE!!!LOPETEGUI IS FIREDSPAIN - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?????— 101 Great Goals (@101greatgoals) June 13, 2018 Kind of bizarre all round though, apparently the manager agreed a contract extension last month and then yesterday announced he’s off to Real Madrid so can understand the anger but still with two days before the World Cup starts is all a bit chaotic.
After that display from Robbie Williams it’s going to be hard for East 17 to put on a better show at Qatar 2022.
Nearly a goal for the Saudis. Have a feeling like Russia will fluff their lines and Saudi Arabia will get one back.
Looks like Dzagoev has done his hammy. That'd be a shame. He and Golovin have been Russia's best players.
Pretty much thought how it would go. Saudi Arabia keep turning the ball over and Russia have a couple of players with quality to open things up.
My legs got a little wobbly grabbing this video from Row 50, Seat 42, where one fan will have this interesting view on Friday: pic.twitter.com/1A8OZiDF6p— Andrew Keh (@andrewkeh) June 13, 2018
Brilliant goal from the sub Cheryshev. Outside of the left foot. Unbelievable. Saudi Arabia have to be one of the worst teams in World Cup history.
Saudi Arabia were dreadful, but to be fair, Russia were also better than I'd expected. They took their chances very well.
