Hello everyone,
The first World Cup game is starting in a few hours and I decided to make a preview and try to predict the winner of the first match.
Russia
Pros: Host, Solid goalkeeper
Cons: Didn't play the qualifiers, lack of quality players, unknown coach
Saudi Arabia
Pros: Unkown team that can surprise
Cons: Bad against European teams, finished second in weak Asian qualifiers group, lack of quality players
Summary
Two pretty sad teams face each other in the first match. I'll give the win to Russia because SA don't even have one player that's actualy playing in a serious football league.
Prediction
Russia to win (2:0)
