RE: The World Cup Has Begun! My Thoughts!
"host has the privilege to play the first game" - It wasn't always like this, earlier in the years the first game was determined by lottery.
Russia now has a problem, they feel comfortable with 3 points already in the bag, but the reality is that every team in their group has those 3 points, Saudi Arabia just doesn't have football enough to beat any of those teams. In my opinion, Uruguay and Egypt are in the best spot to go through, and I´m saying this after the result: Egypt 0-1 Uruguay. Egypt without Salah and I liked what they were showing...
Yes, there you're right but I find it in that way better. This helps the atmosphere from the very first day of the competition. If they would feel comfortable now than they are living beyond reality. This is the World Cup. Major Teams are present and its tough enough to reach the knockout stage and then to survive there borders on a miracle.
It was very important for Russia to win, even better 5-0, because they passed hard times lately in terms of national team.
Btw, who are you rooting for later? Portugal or Spain?
Definitely Spain :)
