#1 Russia 5-0 Saudi Arabia ~ Group A
Or Leeds Utd v Wigan
Russia, just like Leeds, are always under pressure from a huge fanbase to perform, but unlikely to be anywhere near the silverware, whereas Saudi Arabia are playing the role of an FA Cup giant killer in that nobody expects them to win a game here

I'm enjoying your comparisons to club teams Puff
On paper, one of the 'worst' opening games ever, will probbaly end up a classic as both teams will see this as their easiest match.

It’s a shame they changed it from the holders playing the opening match of the tournament. At least you were guaranteed at least one decent side in the game.

Robbie F***ing Williams.
Another reason, if needed, to swerve the opening ceremony.
Perhaps he'll eat some nuclear sushi..

Nice to see Super Slav in the ITV studio. He’s looking a lot better than the last time we saw him at “our” place.

Russia got most of he ball but Saudi bless them are still in it playing some quick footed football , Saudi's naivety may do for them over the 90 minutes , their defender just now tried dribbling out of defence and was tackled by a Russian forward inside the penalty area .
Good game to be fair - Russia just scored as I type .
