Their coach signed a contract to manage Real Madrid after the world cup. The Spanish FA president felt he went behind their back and wasn't honest so he felt there was no trust anymore and decided to sack him. Bit of a stupid decision considering its 1 day till the world cup starts.

Apparently cause he agreed on becoming Real Madrid's coach after the WC, behind the back of the national team's managers or whatever. I still don't understand that and think it's a dumb move.

What a match! What a surprise! What a Golovin! What a Cherychev! Wonderful goals!

What is noticeable, is the efficiency of the Russians, often dangerous when attacking, and Arabians trying to play like big teams with a pleasant playstyle but inefficient

:hmm: you misunderstand, let me explain then:
First, 5 goals on 13 attempts is what I call efficiency
Second, if you read my comment again you see that I said "Arabians trying to play like big teams". try is the key word here, I never said Arabia played well. I however meant that their playstyle was more based on possession and passes.

Thats not efficiency thats normal vs such a week team, efficiency would be like 5 shots 3 goals but its debatable . i Don't know where u saw their playstyle beeing based on possession when they couldn't cross the halfway line with build up play the only thing they could do was break aways because they had 2 players with decent pace .

Creating many chances is normal vs a weak team. Scoring a high percentage of them is still pretty efficient.

The Arabs looked decent in the first 10 minutes, after that they got tamed by the Russian bear!

One of the better openers IMO.

yup thats efficiency they were playing vs a very strong side and had 5 total shots and 2 goals, when your playing a very weak side like arabia u shoot 13 times u score 5 goals thats called beeing superior to your oponent .
