You don't want it, but FIFA sees $$$. FIFA Is a business, at the end of the day. If they had the will power, they would probably change it to a 64 team format and get India and China automatically qualified.

Saudis just keep giving the ball away. I have no idea why they insist on playing out the back, it's not like Russia has any imposing defenders. Just launch it long and hope someone can get on to it.

Jeez I completely over estimated Saudi. Figured Russia would win but thought it’d be a 1-0 squeaker

Saudi Arabia's passing is a joke. Either right to Russians or out of bounds. How the heck they even qualified?

Had 2-0 since Russia isn't that good offensively.
They're going to get murdered by Uruguay.

AFC is a poor confederation.

Great goal, that.

How do they plan to defend against Suarez or Salah? This is ridiculous. :lol:

What a performance by Saudi Arabia. Holy ****, that was horrible. Gave up completely in the end, too.

That was a pretty good match. Russia looked pretty good. Let's see them do that again vs Spain or Germany.

Man, the Saudis looked like they walked across the desert all the way to Russia instead of flying there. That was embarrassing.

Gotta ride with the Egyptian King!

Thought Russia was given little credit over the time leading to the Cup. Not surprised they beat Saudi Arabia nor the score really. That's more on SA than Russia IMO.

Lets go Uruguay, get that W vs Egypt.

That one was always gonna be close.

Suarez looked a little off the pace. Lucky for them they have Saudi Arabia next.
