The opening match is behind us - the goals were even nice. Unfortunately, the sports level of the match was far from the level that should be presented by the teams at the world championships.
Russia - I am sure that if it was not an organizer it would not qualify for such a tournament.
Saudi Arabia - if this team was one of the best from the Asian zone, I don't want to know what other teams present there.
Of course, Saudi Arabia will not leave the group and Russia - if it succeeds - it will lose in the knockout stage.
Unfortunately, we have good and "second" teams at such championships. For a real fan who wants to watch a beautiful football, the tournament will start after the group stage. The exceptions will be limited matches such as Spain-Portugal, Germany-Mexico, France-Denmark, Argentina-Croatia, Poland-Colombia or England-Belgium. So it's really 6 matches that we should enjoy watching.
Are you proposing something else to watch in the group stage?
