I am not a huge fan of soccer or football or whatever it is called, but I am eagerly looking forward to watching the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It is anyone's guess which country will ultimately win the championship.
Posted by dule-vu: pajalnick I think you are right,that russia dont have some play and that probably they wouldnt even be at world cup,if they are not hosts!but I wish luck to our brother country and hope that you will get out of group at least! hope that whole world cup will be interesting for watching!
the chances of getting out of the group are of course .... even with such a weak team as now ... the first match will decide a lot ... Saudi Arabia I hope Russia will win .... with Uruguay no chance ... and the most important match with Egypt ... awful Salah can bury Russia ... but he's there alone there is a superstar ... it will be interesting

Salah still has to play one important game against Sergio Ramos flying tackle circus. Don't expect him to be a threat to the opposing teams for the month that follow this encounter, and this include the World Cup

Shokaku, I hope that Mohamed Salah to make a big match in the Champions League Final and Liverpool to win. I hate Real Madrid for a long time, many years and duel of which you speak with Salah vs Sergio Ramos you can see in this final. Ramos is a odious footballer. If he was driving the car as football plays would spend many years in prison. To the world cup is hard to meet because Egipt is not in the group with Spain. It's hard for Egypt to go through groups.

I also hope that Liverpool wins the Champions League, although the favorite is Real Madrid. In addition to that Liverpool has to make 3 goals or more, because the referees are ultimately in favor of Madrid. And in the way that Salah was injured so that he does not face Uruguay in the World Cup haha. He is really a great player, but in Egypt he is quite alone. The games that I saw the Egyptians playing were not a big deal. I see Russia stronger

Klopps style is to hit them on the break, so a lot of attacks are made against a defence that may not be properly organized for the moment. Ideal for a mobile striker. On top of this, there are two more threats the defence must handle in Firminho and Mane. So Salahs run would stop the minute he would join a club managed by a guy like Mourinho.

Yes Ligador, I hope this team Real Madrid to catch a very bad day and not to play anything and Liverpool to win. I would also like this World Cup in Russia to be won by a country who does not have this trophy but this is harder. I hope that this World Cup will be beautiful football and teams will not play with fear.

I would also very much like Liverpool to win the Champions League ..... and here are a few reasons ... the first and most important reason is that Real Madrid referees help ... maybe unconsciously but help .... it's unsportsmanlike ... .a second reason is that if Salah wins the Champions League will spend a lot of emotions and maybe not very well will play at the World Cup

I do not think we're interested in how it will play Mohamed Salah to the World Cup. I'm not an Egyptian fan and you i think the same. I would love to guess the betting results and to win some money and to see beautiful matches. About Real Madrid with the referees is true. Perez's money speak...

Come on guys. If the ability to fund possible bribes for the referees would be the measuring stick, the final in the Champions League would be played between PSG and Manchester City. But it isn't.

It's not just for money, which Real Madrid does not stay behind. and it is normal for referees to make mistakes but the odd thing is that these errors are always in favor of Madrid. because for example vs Bayern there is a clear hand of Marcelo and the 3 referees did not say anything (and could see it clearly). a penalty on the hour vs Juventus (if it was Liverpool I do not think they would have charged the penalty but since it was the Real, it was charged). It's all weird.
I do not claim that Real bribes the judges so that they make decisions in their favor .... I'm talking about the fact that purely psychologically the judges are influenced by this big name ... and therefore in the subconscious they have strange decisions .... absolutely unbiased judge does not exist

I think i personally wait most for important games like semi final or final and games in group stage is sometimes not very interesting because nit so big teams play and results can be not important in one game
