I agree, I’m not sure of the new make up of teams. It could be to appease other federations as Europe already has so many in it?

Well, Saudi Arabia are flipping awful. Somehow keeping lots of possession and giving it away hundreds of times at the same time. Defence is all over the place.

Agreed, but a far better opening game than some we’ve had over the years.
How bad must the team's be in their qualifying group if Saudi got through? 😱😱

Embarrasing number of empty seats at Uruguay v Egypt, should be able to get the locals in for pennies in that situation.
Both half decent sides too.

I agree, you can’t help but notice the amount of empty seats, if they knew the attendance was going to be so low they should have arranged something with schools or something to fill them, but I don’t think Russia thinks like that!

Had exactly the same issue at the World Cup in Japan 2002. I was living in Tokyo at the time, the stadiums had vast expanses of empty seats, there was a hotline to purchase last minute tickets but try as I might, I was unable to get through at any time to purchase any, it was a complete farce.

27,000 at the Egypt game. Where's it being played Siberia. They put two temp stands up. They shouldn't of bothered.
Seen that the American Bid won the World Cup, basically they promised nig on twice as much profit for there bid than the Morocco bid. Nigh on 8 Billion. Yet FIFA still seem fit to charge an extortionate amount for tickets. How much do the greedy bleeders want.

So Egypt lose, Salah doesn't come on...commentators say they feel sorry for Egypt, why? If you don't score or take the chances, you lose, simples! Uruguay were knocking on the door for a while coming to the end of the game, the goal was coming IMO, if there was ever a time to put Salah on, it was with 20 mins to go. Egypt keeper made some fine saves, who does he play for, he might get a call from Klipperty Klopp?

Suarez as got to go down as one of the most dispicable players of all time.

But 99% of people would have him in their team! He is an exceptional player when he drops the stupid behavior!

He has no concept of fair play and in my opinion looks to gain his side an advantage for his side by cheating, pure and simple. That said, when he focuses on his game he's still a devastating player. Sadly you can't have one side of him without the other. Uruguay were the better side and of Egypt wanted anything then you should have played your best chance of getting a goal at some point. Not going to score from the bench

Plenty of empty seats for the Portugal v Spain match as well. One of the best group matches and they can't even fill the stadium for it.
