A complete annihilation of Saudi Arab by Russians today. Individual brilliance by Denis Cheryshev stood out. 2 excellent goals after coming as sub showed his class. This #Rus team have the ball rolling already. x.com/FIFAWorldCup/s… #RUSVSAU #RUSKSA #RUS #KSA #RUSvKSA
Some very interesting stats from #RUSKSA. For @TeamRussia, there's only one that matters. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ #WorldCup
Great start of FIFA world cup 2018 by Russia with a whooping score of 5-0, bad luck Saudi Arabia #FifaWorldCup2018 #RUSvKSA
The Saudi Arabia team on the way back to their hotel like:
Really thought that Saudi Arabia would have a chance, but Russia sealed the deal with some outrageous goals. Golovin, sheeeesh, what a player. #RUSvKSA
#Russia2018WorldCup #RUSvKSA Russia looked up for and for the most part it looked like Saudi Arabia had 2 in the back
It's high time now, Saudi Arabia should appoint "Admiral General Aladeen" to play from their side if they really want to win the #WorldCup #Rusia2018 #RUSKSA #RUSSAU #RUSvKSA
Golovin is a serious player #RUSvKSA
How did Saudi Arabia make the World Cup, such a pathetic display.... #RUSvKSA #WorldCup2018
Not sure what’s worse. The first 20 mins of the #RUSvKSA game or tonight’s Thameslink service back home. At least with the football I could turn that off and instead opt for something better... 🧐
Russia that’s no way to treat guests. #RUSvKSA
