ljkeane Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 So, Russia really aren't very good but apparently Saudi Arabia are worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm watching on my phone, even though all the games are recording on my DVR. Saudi Arabia is bad. I don't see Russia losing this game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan La Cabra Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Two assists and a peach of a free kick goal. There’s a place at Chelski for you, Golovin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iskaral Pust Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 No surprise that the Saudis were ineffectual. 1994 was their only decent showing ever, and they've otherwise been whipping boys each time when they even managed to qualify. Giving up 5-0 is worse than expected because Russia are no great shakes lately, but are at least pretty motivated as hosts. And a couple of those goals were in garbage time. The uncertain result today is what level of oil production was agreed during half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation of Putin, overheard before kickoff on the phone (we only know his side of the conversation): PUTIN: Sultan, it's Putin. (reply) PUTIN: Of course I have your number. (reply) PUTIN: I also have a certain tape of a certain Muslim visiting a certain place of leisure activities. (reply) PUTIN: Simple, we win by two goals. (reply) PUTIN: You dare negotiate? Now it's three goals for your insolence. (reply) PUTIN: Make it four goals. (reply) PUTIN: We're finally learning. Good. Also I want one of those big ice creams in a tall glass with the cherry on it. (reply) PUTIN: Five goals. (reply) PUTIN: Chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uncertain result today is what level of oil production was agreed during half time. There's a morbid humour about Saudi Arabia being whipping boys. Also useless trivia - the first time New Zealand qualified, in 1982, they had to beat Saudi Arabia by six clear goals away in order to qualify. They ended up winning 5-0, to force a play-off with Bahrain. So beating Saudi Arabia 5-0 is a time-honoured tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I just saw the highlights. I thought it was in slow motion, but then realized that was just the Saudi keeper. I can’t decide if his efforts were pathetic or apathetic. Not that his defenders were much better. They made Cheryshev look like Luis Suarez.
