It's Hierro, who has only coached one season at Oviedo. Looks like Russia might be getting their QF run after all!

Anyone know where to watch full games after they’ve been played? Had a glorious day planned for the Saturday slate but have to travel for work now.

Haven’t been that excited for this but woke up this morning pumped. Tomorrow’s slate is awesome too.

Is Dzyuba starting for Russia? Love that dude.

Fahad Al Muwallad is the only SA player I know. He can fly

Really wish there was a better game to start the tournament. Russia and Saudi Arabia might be the two worst teams in the tournament.

That’s unfair to Russia. They are consistently qualifying out of UEFA. It’s just that no one knows any of the players because they all play in Russia

It would have been unfair to Russia couple of years ago, but this Russia team is real bad.

You are definitely talking out ur ass. They haven’t played a competitive match in a year

Huh? They've been shitty in their friendlies, and they're coming off a 1 point performance in Euro 2016, plus a victory over soccer powerhouse New Zealand in the Confed Cup. What makes you think this team is actually good? If they get out of the group, it'll be because the group is shitty and/or referee shenanigans.

Russia is making Saudi Arabia look halfway competent.

If you're going back far they 3-3'd Spain in a friendly. They aren't Panama tier at all although they are worse now with Dzagoev out

This looks like a bad Pro Clubs match. Neither team can make 3 consecutive passes.

Sweden also got one point in 2016 - are they better? Serbia finished next to last in QUALIFYING for the Euro’s

I actually thought they had an unlucky Confed Cup - dominated NZ and deserved points against Portugal and Mexico.

Even with all that said, they haven’t played a competitive match since then. Their entire team is based in a league you never watch. It’s pretty silly to base anything off these friendlies. France nearly lost to a US under 23 side - how do you rank them?

“Russia might be one of the worst teams here” is a terrible take and deserves to be mocked. If you still feel that way, let’s money mouth and you can join Travis in paying for my son’s wardrobe - I’m thinking a Jozy NT jersey.

That said Russia's old af backline will get torched by even a 50% Salah. They are missing two of their best defenders to injury. Ignashevich looks like he's just going to fall over at some point

Man there's some really weird commercials on this ITV stream.

:laughing: I'm not stupid enough to do that when they're going to get three points against Saudi Arabia.

Who are the teams that are legitimately worse than Russia? Saudi Arabia, clearly. Maybe Panama, Australia, South Korea, Japan? After that, I don't think there's a worse team.

I really don't get why you think Russia is even okay. They had one shot in their last two friendlies, and haven't won in 7 games. Yes, you can't read a ton into friendlies, but that's real bad. They lost 3 starters before the tournament, too. FIFA rankings are bad, but Saudi Arabia and Russia are the two lowest ranked teams by FIFA rankings. It's not an absurd statement to say Russia might be one of the worst teams at the tournament. They've got Golovin, who's probably pretty good, and, uh ... ?
 

doh

or because the host nation has advanced in every single WC except 2010?

Home field advantage + being the 1 seed goes a long way.
