There was almost no midfield play today. Saudi Arabia had no midfield. Their defenders looked slow as hell. They have to be the worst team in the tournament.


they are the worst team. Ranked 70th or lower I think. That central defender that played on the right side...stood around the whole game in about a 10ft by 10ft area. Literally standing still for long stretches of time.

Also, I bet that team smells.

They actually shot their wad in the first 5 minutes of the game. They came out on fire and looked to take the game to the Russians. Then they ran out of steam and the game became a rout. By the end of the game, the defenders could hardly move. It makes you wonder about going to 48 teams.

I know Russia's the host nation but the Saudis looked awful out there today. I expect a good game tomorrow between Uruguay/Egypt especially if Salah is back.

My predictions for Friday. Uruguay 2-0 over Egypt. Morocco over Iran 1-0, Spain a 2-2 draw with Portugal.

Morocco is going to crush Iran

I can see a draw with Spain/Portugal

I'm not convinced Salah starts for Egypt...maybe come on as a sub. If he does start, That game might be a draw as well

What are you getting at exactly?

It's a joke that the US isn't in this thing. We should never not be in the WC. Especially when a team as shitty as Saudi Arabia can.

Got you. Thought you were complaining about the qualification system.

Concacaf has a pretty easy route to get in. Once you're in the final round of qualifying, just don't finish in the bottom 2 out of 6 teams. Should be pretty simple when the only other solid teams are usually Mexico and Costa Rica.

I actually think Saudi Arabia plays in a slightly tougher region than we do. The Panama, Honduras, and etc are not usually as good as South Korea, Japan, and Australia

No just about how we choked it away, in concacaf, which is easy, you're right. I get that some good Europe squads can miss, but we never should given we play in concacaf.

As I thought, Salah not in starting lineup.
Egypt GK has like 3 caps. Uruguay should beat the pharaohs easily

I’m agree Uruguay needs to chase that Russia goal differential
I hope Suarez breaks his entire horse tooth face
Yeah he is a fuckface. The fact that he flops cry’s the try’s to bite people. Such a douche.

Dafuq is up with Suarez today. Not to take anything away from Egypt, they are actually playing pretty well without Salah, but Uruguay should be up at least 3-0 now.
