The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off in Russia today with the home team facing Saudi Arabia. After 90 minutes of fierce battling, the Russians crushed the Saudi Arabians by hammering in 5 goals. The Middle-Eastern team had no answers for the brutal assault and went down without a fight.

When the match/massacre was complete, the fans nearly went ballistic. The roars could probably be heard from miles away. Here is how Twitter reacted to the opening match of the tournament. The Russians surged ahead, courtesy goals from Yury Gazinsky, Denis Cheryshev, Artem Dzyuba and Aleksandr Golovin.

Well that was a thoroughly enjoyable #WorldCup #RUSvKSA game. Feel for Dzagoev. Probably his tournament done but Russia look pretty good. 82p up on the £10 bet every match game too.

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. https://t.co/ohYJ4X7yPx#RUSVSAU #RUSKSA #RUS #KSA #RUSvKSA— Mohammed Arif Khan (@mdarifkhan87) June 14, 2018

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
— Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrien10) June 14, 2018
Re-watched some of the #RUSvKSA game and Aleksandr Golovin was outstanding. That beautiful free kick goal and 2 assists from crosses, my expectations are tempered because of how poorly #KSA played but this kid seems like the real deal.

How did Saudi Arabia make the World Cup, such a pathetic display…. #RUSvKSA #WorldCup2018
— Datawrite (@datawrite) June 14, 2018
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… 🧐
