The first game was the host team, Russia, which started very well by scoring nothing more than 5 goals to a modest Saudi Arabia, this gives the host country a lot of hope that they can go further if they continue with that great pace, although Russia despite being the host is not the favorite, there are better teams and teams with more name in this type of tournament but with the support of its people, all that animistic envion can be helpful and join that select club of countries who have won the cup as hosts.
