Russia beat Egypt tonight in St. Petersburg and all the goals came in the second half.
After it was over, you could hear the roar in the stadium and President Putin made.a surprise phone call.
Russia only needs to beat Uruguay to make to the Round Of 16.
It beat two weak opponents in Group A so now its final opponent is a storied South American team with two World Cups under its belt.’
Will be fascinating to watch how that turns out.
Russia in all likelihood is already in the round of 16. I see no viable way for either Egypt or Saudi Arabia to get to six points and even if they do, Russia has an overwhelming goal differential of seven at this point.
