Fully deserve to be 3-0 up here. A really organised hard working team with quality in the final third. a formation of 4-2-3-1, by far the most balanced formation. Really impressed here, how far can they go, all dependant upon knockout round draw but look a really useful outfit. |  |

I'm not convinced. They're doing what they should be doing against a couple of terrible teams. The second they meet a half way decent side I think it'll be bye bye Russia. |  |

They do look good. A lot to be said for home advantage.
I would still be surprised if they went all the way to the final but small margins are often at play in the knock-out stages. |  |

maybe so, maybe. But very organised, very good wide man in cheresyov, Golovin is a magical, and dzyuba up top, big strong but technically very good with his feet. They could be a dark horse. | |

They have yet to play a competitive team.
Egypt are ranked 45 in the world, God knows what ranking the Saudis are. Wonder how Russia got such an easy group?
Will be interesting to see how they do against Uruguay, that will be the only test in the group.
I wouldnt want to play Russia in the tournament... the decisions will all go their way!! |  |

Impossible to tell based on the terrible level of competition.
Let's see the next match v Uruguay. | |

I think I would look magical playing against this lot though. But you're right, it'll be interesting to see how they get on. | |

I thought they were decidedly average up until the own goal.
They're obviously better than most people thought but can't see them going too far. |  | | |

From the BBC's match feed:
Jack Conlon: Cheryshev will be 'the' World Cup player who gets a huge transfer from a panicky club based purely off of the tournament and no other scouting won't he? |  |

Putin said it was OK at 3-0 up.
0-0 mayve been a different story. | |

They look pretty ropey at the back. Last twenty minutes will be interesting. [Post edited 19 Jun 2018 20:30]

Mr VAR referee has just won a lengthy holiday in Siberia. | |

I don't think you can underestimate the effect of playing at home
I know they went into the tournament without a win in seven but presumably they were meaningless friendlies and with no need to qualify I'd imagine it is easy to drop down the rankings?
This where someone jumps in and says they have played at the Confederations Cup? |  |

I was just thinking if they draw now or worse this ref is getting a long delay at the airport isn't he? Definitely gonna hear the snap of latex | |

Think the Egypt player was being a cheat. He was trying to pull the defender down on top of him to make it look like a pen. | |

No chance. What you’ve witnessed is the VAR influenced collapse in the penalty are when you feel an arm on you from a defender.
Expect to see a lot lot more of it. | |

The Uruguay game will tell us all we need to know about Russia and that is that they're riding the wave of being the home nation against two sides that lack any quality at both ends of the pitch.
Dzyuba isn't going to be bullying Godin and Giminez and equally, their 39 year old CB isn't going to handle Suarez and Cavani.
I'll be glad when they lose to Spain or Portugal in the knockouts. |  | | |

How come the on-field referee didn't review it? |  |
