Ramos might be whatever you want to call him but there was nothing wrong with his tackle on Salah, you've seen the images, if you still think there is then imo it's just your anti-Madrid/Ramos bias. If it was Pique would you still be going on about it?


i'd be saying its a shame we were deprived of seeing mo saleh at his best form in the ucl and world cup b/c of a khunt/bush league move by pique

Egypt are done. Really sad for Salah. It's gone all wrong for him since the UCL Final. :( Hope he can return to his best.

Now, Uruguay will need to put quite a few past the Saudis. The final game of Group A is between Russia and Uruguay. That'll most likely end up in a draw, so GD will matter at the end.

Although, it won't matter much in the grand scheme of things as I feel Spain will finish 2nd in their group.

Feel for Egypt. Could've had a point against Uruguay and still with a chance to go through against Saudi Arabia.

But wtf Russia? The boost from being World Cup host is real.

South Africa is literally the only host country in World Cup history to not advance to the next round. Although, I guess Qatar will join them in 2022.

Russia has already scored more goals in two games than Spain did in the entirety of 2010 World Cup.

Well, Spain is the most boring World Champion of my lifetime, so not surprised I guess.

And we were only knocked out on goal difference by Mexico, who are perennial knockout qualifiers
