Some more fun facts about the match KSA-EGY, I stopped to follow it, focusing on URU-RUS match, so back to the game, the Egyptian goal was believe or not, the first non penalty goal of Egypt at the World Cups since 1938 and the match against Hungary they lost 2-4, after this Egypt scored only 2 goals and both from penalties against NED in 1990 and now against Russia :d

 

In other side Saudi Arabia avoided to became the 12th country in history of WC to finish the tournament without scoring a single goal (KSA already managed to do it once in 2002 btw :p) but this time they avoided it. Last time a team that not scored a goal happened in 2010 in South Africa with Honduras and Algeria to reach that anti record

Switzerland players Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Stephan Lichtsteiner escaped bans Monday for celebrating goals with a pro-Kosovo double eagle gesture in their World Cup win over Serbia.

FIFA said Xhaka and Shaqiri would each be fined 10,000 Swiss francs (8,700 euros, $10,000) and Lichtsteiner 5,000 Swiss francs.

 

FIFA rules prohibit political symbols in stadiums and the three players could have been banned.

But FIFA said it was imposing the fines "for unsporting behaviour contrary to the principles of fair-play".

 

BTW they ban FSS with 45,000 chf for racism 

:lol::lol::lol:

 

And another BTW, refree on Switzerland vs Costa Rica match is from France loool

After first two games of Russia I said their results are not so impressive because they played Arabia and Egypt. In that moment somebody of this forum replied me that Russia is really in good shape and I don't know what I'm saying. Well...we've seen today what a great shape they have ;)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal.
