I have a feeling in my water that it might be closer than a lot of people may think, 2-1 to the bully boys of Europe.

Re: Russia v Saudi
I would laugh my socks off if there was an upset.
Unfortunately I think it will be a boring 1-0.
I can't remember when I have been least excited about an opening game.
In fact, all the first three games.......zzzzzzzzz

The Russians aren't any good lately, so I say 3-1 for them, or perhaps only 2-1.

The saudis will permit women to drive cars now. Maybe in 100 years more they will have democratic elections.

Re: Russia v Saudi
The corrupt FIFA goons sure gave the Russkies the easiest group in the history of group play to get through.
Uruguay- 17th
Egypt-46th
Russia-66th
Saudi- 67th
Compare to Brazil-2nd, Switz- 6th. Costa Rica at 25th got shafted.
Or Belgium- 3rd, England 13th, Tunisia 14th
One would think those crooked clowns would know how to seed a tournament by now.

I am intrigued to see what that megalomaniac Putin has planned for the opening ceremony.
A staged reenactment of Stalingrad?
Does it really gave to be so early?

That's actually pretty good. Like the cowboy scene in Dr Strangelove.
I think he will actually be a real sweetie and on full charm offensive.
And the FSB/KGB have already done door to door to tell the "hooligans" to step down. If they don't want to get conscripted to serve in Chechnya.

Re: Russia v Saudi
I think Russia will win, but it won't be a great game. In terms of the time, I believe it's 7pm over there, so it's actually quite late for the first game to kick off. Is it the norm to only have one game on the opening day? I thought there was normally one late afternoon / teatime and another at 7pm /8pm.

I always remembered it as one game on opening night, but that was always on a Friday?
I take your point about time difference, but Moscow is GMT+2
That means, by their time, the opening ceremony and opening game will be over by 8pm.

Fair enough. I thought they were 3hrs ahead. When I was in St Petersburg I'm sure it was GMT +3 or even 4. I know on the last day I miscalculated how it worked and ended up being awake for more almost 24hrs, including the drive from Manchester back to Norfuck.

Maybe they don't put the clocks forward in March.
I had a look on the googlings and definitely 2 hours ahead now in Moscow.

No, almost this time of year, funnily enough. We got married on mid summers day in The Lakes and flew out from Manc Land a couple of days later. White Nights, so it never got dark. Loved the place.

I did not know you are 70 something years old.
As I have mentioned here, more than once, FIFA had a giant wake-up in 2002 when a Eurp-free final was in the cards. It won't happen again.
