peabutler

Russia 2-1 would be very very nice please

murpho999

Love to see Russia to get stuffed.

Purely for political reasons.

mikeym

Not a lot of people are talking about Russia and that should suit them.

Russia to squeeze this one.

Johner

Russia to win by a couple.

retalivity

Daehan minguk!!!

Korea to get a draw.
I have son heung-min to be top korean scorer at 8/1 so here's hoping he gets off the mark tonighy

Lostman1990

I just don't understand Dzagoev on the bench...

Seaneh

Kokorin hattrick.

Nerdlingr

Come on Korea! Soft spot for Hong myung bo since his goal against the Germans in 94.

tony1kenobi

Is Rambo playing for Russia or Korea?

Lennonist

Russia should win but they never seem to do well when they get to big tournaments. Wouldn't trust them enough to back them, wouldn't be surprised if South Korea made a game of this one.

wonga77

No idea what to think about this one, I've watched every late game so far but this one doesn't appeal to me, might give it a skip

breffni bogballer

might be quite an open game, russia 3-2

Kylo Ren

Does anyone know who takes penalties for South Korea? Is it Son?

Nolars

Apparently Iran beat these guys at home and away in qualifying... 5-0 Russia.

retalivity

"I dont know anything about these guys so im going to through out some stereotypes"

Mantis Toboggan

Can't see anything other than a Russian win.


Should be an open and attractive game.

GreNoLi

Very hot in the RTE studio pantry according to Collins.

ician

jaysus the ref is a beast

blueser

BBC1 actually.

Lennonist

The ref is a former actor? Didn't think there was such a thing, once an actor always an actor he'd say, I'm sure.

He's only pretending he's no longer an actor. What a pro.

Lovin' his comb over.

Soups123

Very unusual that Brazil and Mexico got two games in before these guys even got started

Think temperature had something to do with it?

Still very warm apparently in cuiaba so put it on last

razorblunt

Number one tip to not get booked don't mention or look at the refs hair.

Lennonist

Tralee Dynamos were the first team in Ireland to use the Dynamo name for a 'ball team according to Brian. I think it's going to be one of those games.

ician

This ref gave out 138 yellows in 26 games this season in Argentina as well as 24 yellows in 4 world cup qualifying games.

Edit: It's his birthday today!

Lets hope he gets more cards than he gives!

Nuri Sahin

Dive.

ician

yellow number 1! NO NONSENSE APPROACH.

LightningBlue

That's an awful decision by the ref. Russian player made a meal of it.

derm0j073

That was a bit harsh, wasn't a whole lot in it , didn't deserve a booking .

Pudsy33

I'm calling this now, this will be worse then the Nigerian game.

keano_afc

Epic combover on the ref.

Impossible.

I've kinda enjoyed this so far...

wonga77

Said I'd watch a bit of it but this is dire. Time to switch off, goodnight to all the brave souls who stay up to watch this

ician

Postman Pat has no chance of communicating with his players

I'm giving it until 30 mins...

vidor

Dire enough game. I'm blaming Russia entirely, just playing a horrible game at the moment.

~Rebel~

Some power in that strike!

Really? I'd say the opposite...the koreans just kill the tempo most of the time they have the ball. It's the Russians who are actually trying to be direct.

LightningBlue

It's livening up now. Game desperately needs a goal though.

ician

ah what a waste

vidor

Haha, wild!

dahat

Fu-kin sh1t finish....

Nuri Sahin

If Russia were wearing black and yellow like that of Dortmund, Son would have found the top corner. No doubt about it.

derm0j073

Man , he did the hard bit , nice control making some space and boots it into the stand .

tyrion1234

That may be the worst shot iv ever seen
