Heartwork Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Kick off in 55 minutes. Salah will feature for Egypt who desparately need a win after their disappointing opening round defeat against Uruguay late on in the game. Russia will be on a high after their resounding 5-0 win over Saudi Arabia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Egypt are winning this. Is Dzagoev out for the whole tournament for Russia? Looked pretty terminal when he wobbled off last week holding his hamstring but I've not seen anyone confirm that he's out altogether for the whole thing.

Rob1981 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Reading loads of comments saying Russia are through if they win: they aren't.

If they lose, they'll have played two of three games with 0 points. If they beat Saudi Arabia they'll get 3 points. Where will the other 3 come from?

Rob1981 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Russia bt Egypt tonight Saudi bt Uruguay Uruguay bt Russia, Saudi bt Egypt Would have Egypt on 0 and everyone else on 6. So even if they win tonight, Russia would be not be through until tomorrow and only then if Uruguay avoid defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Yeah, just annoys me when people trot out this lazy "two wins means you're through" logic. This only works once one of the other games in the group has been drawn. Equally two defeats doesn't mean you're out unless there has been a draw in the group... without a draw elsewhere the teams can finish 9-3-3-3. If you remember back to 2014 England weren't 100% out after their second defeat, we had to wait until the following day to see if Costa Rica dropped points before we knew.

I honestly don't think they've had a good intro (or at least a better one than ITV) since 2006. ITV's titles make you feel like you're witnessing a Russian World Cup. The BBC's make you feel like you're watching the Confederations Cup on CBBC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
