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

KSA deserved that. Egypt looks awful without Salah's influence and he can't make any difference whatsoever playing with these mugs. This ain't Liverpool!

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 ;)

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
