How will Russia fare at the 2018 World Cup?

group stage exit.

 

Quarterfinals is what I predict.

 

I'd say round of 16.

Amazingly some are still talking about moving the tourney to another country, while the qualifiers already started in some places back in September of 2015.

 

Qualifiers for World Cup 2018 started in Asia on March 12, 2015.

 

Shit planning, crumbling infrastructure, food posioning, muggings, maybe a terrorist attack or two. Kinda of like Sochi
As for the pitch - Akinfeev arraigned to be executed for 2 own goals against New Zealand. SLUTski fired, takes job with Tavria Sevastopol. Triumphantly wins third place in the Crimean League. The 7 nuetralized Brazilians are sent back home in shipping container crates. Putin attacks Kazakhstan. Kerzhakov attacks the bottle

If your looking for Russian forum members they're probably masterbating to articles on Russia Today

 

Something like that...
