Russia vs Egypt (Group A) - 19:00 - 19/06/2018

[Badgers]

I will be rooting for Salah Egypt but gotta think Russia will win this?

That said Russia only beat Saudi Arabia and Egypt limited to Uruguay to one goal

 

[The39thStep]

Egypt wont be as open as the Saudis and their attacking speed might cause problems for Russia. However Russia are the host team and host teams always seem to over perform , a Russia win takes them through to the next round.

 

[Badgers]

Salah starting for Egypt

 

[TruXta]

Somehow think this will be a high scoring game.

Now watch it be a dull nil all draw.

 

[blairsh]

I am watching this in the hope t will be exciting

 

[Badgers]

Another own goal

 

[smmudge]

Been some great own goals today!!

Well 2.

So far

 

[blairsh]

That's a disappointing start to the second half.

 

[imposs1904]

Fuck. I wanted Egypt to get something out of this game.

 

[blairsh]

Shit.

 

[Ax^]

Egypt told to play ball or not go home

that or a dodgy white envelope

 

[TruXta]

Seems I was right again. Three for Salah.

 

[passenger]

Give Russia there due totaly in control, nice to see the hosts doing well
really helps the competition.

 

[The Octagon]

I feel for Egypt and Salah, that injury has ruined any chance they had.

They're not good enough as a team, but 3-0 seems harsh.

 

[The Octagon]

Could be more too, fair play to Russia

 

[editor]

Egypt just don't seem to have enough in the tank.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Dzyuba has played well and thoroughly deserved his goal.

Egypt looking increasingly half-arsed, could easily be more in this for Russia.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Fucking Russia

 

[editor]

Penalty. He's going to miss, isn't he?

 

[editor]

Glad to have been proved wrong!

 

[blairsh]

Some consolation at least...

 

[TruXta]

Two to go.

 

[donkyboy]

why do stupid commentators go on about poor salah aand his injury. it would have made no difference. the difference between african football and european is clear to see....the best team in africa. meh.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Gutted for Egypt though. Fuck Russia.

 

[The Octagon]

Actually that would be Tunisia (rankings wise)

 

[TruXta]

Should have had another penalty there.

 

[editor]

I'm willing in another goal for Egypt!

 

[donkyboy]

Actually that would be Tunisia (rankings wise)

7 times african cup of nations winners. Tunisia 1.

 

[Steel Icarus]

7 times african cup of nations winners. Tunisia 1.

You realise this doesn't prove your point?

(For the record, the last time Egypt won the ACON only one player from tonight's lineup started.)

 

[TruXta]

In fairness Russia was in total control throughout. For a team that was foretold to fold meekly they've certainly proven they've got what it takes.
