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

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.

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 (five 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 (five 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 (five 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.

No chance, they'll collapse sooner rather than later. But they *have* been playing the (imo) best, most attacking football. xp

A Brazil 2014 scenario where they get all the way to the semis and then annihilated in front of Putin would be sweet.
― We can be herpes (Tom D.), Tuesday, 19 June 2018 20:03 (five years ago) link

yeah, didn't see today but first game was least convincing 5-0 i can ever remember.

Argentina, Brazil, Ingerland, hell even Belgium all should have 5-0's in their first matches. But they didn't. Lame to discredit Russia bcz "KSA & Egypt" tbh.

argentina couldn't really create any chances against an absurdly densely-packed iceland team, lots of other good teams have dominated possession and squandered lots of chances against better opposition. russia have exceeded extremely low expectations and look to have the best morale in the tournament, but in terms of the football they've played there's no reason to think russia would have done better in any of those games
