Suggy33 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Bit of tension surrounding this one. Russia apparently using the same team that played vs England which is disappointing. Golovin should have been benched. Also just read that the main entrance of stadium has been closed due to suspect package? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 From the first round of matches I suspect that despite the results Slovakia are better than Russia. Still didn't have enough confidence to put my money on Slovakia in the office betting pool, and went for a 1-1 draw instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Not hugely excited for this game really. In terms of benefiting England we could probably do with a draw here I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suggy33 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Russia: Akinfeev, Smolnikov, Schennikov, Ignashevich, V. Berezutski, Neustädter, Golovin, Kokorin, Shatov, Smolov, Dzyuba Slovakia: Kozáčik, Pekarík, Škrtel, Ďurica, Hubočan, Pečovský, Kucka, Hamšík, Mak, Weiss, Duda Looks like Duda and Pecovsky are changes for Slovakia? Russia unchanged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I guess from an England perspective (probably Wales too) we should want a draw, means Russia go into final game vs Wales with lots to play for so if we fail to beat them it still leaves the group up in the air Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggy33 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Slovakia were being exposed on the wings vs Wales so I'd have played a proper winger in Samedov and moved Kokorin behind Dzyuba, with Shatov playing left. Durica and Hubocan both played in RPL for a while now, Skrtel was of course there at one stage also. They Russian attackers should hopefully be familiar with how to beat them.

Heartwork Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Starting to think now that, if Russia's fans kick off again today and they get disqualified, then depending on how results go in the rest of the Round 2 games UEFA might be best off just giving Wales a w/o win in the final round to ensure Russia finish bottom, because if Wales lost to England and Slovakia and England draw, then with Russia bottom with just the one point then Slovakia with 4 points should have enough to progress. Expunging the Russia results could royally screw them over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggy33 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Smolnikov definitely caught out for first, and then he and Ignashevich both sold by the cut inside. 2nd was just poor marking/closing in general.
