Calendar 14. 06 Russia - Saudi Arabia 15. 06 Egypt - Uruguay 19. 06 Russia - Egypt 20. 06 Uruguay - Saudi Arabia 25. 06 Uruguay - Russia 25. 06 Saudi Arabia - Egypt Status: Luck smiles to the hosts Immediately after the draw, regular conversations began about the heated balls. Let's leave insinuations aside, we simply state the fact: the group seems easy and completely passable for the hosts of the tournament. Uruguay - a favorite, but Russia and Egypt must compete for an exit from the second place. It is not a fact that this confrontation would have ended in favor of the Europeans right now, considering in what phenomenal form is now Mohamed Salah. But the summer is still far away ... It is worth noting that the calendar for our neighbors is quite successful: a meeting with Uruguay, which on paper seems the strongest member of this group - only in the third round. It is likely that South Americans by that time already guarantee themselves a place in the playoffs and will provide rest to their leaders.
Starring Fyodor Smolov Little is known about the ups and downs of Russian football recently, but this guy now and again breaks into our info space. Fedor has long ceased to be an object for ridicule and it seems that he is the next one who will leave the Russian championship for the sake of playing in the top league. Turkish clubs in the calculation do not take, but West Ham - quite a working option for Smolov. There is still a rumor about the interest of Napoli, but who will be able to press the phenomenal Dris Mertens?.
Mohamad Al-Salawi Al-Nasra striker is a true hero of his country. In the selection for the World Cup 2018, the striker scored 16 goals - maybe, such a forward was not enough for the national team of Ukraine?.
Mohamed Salah Winger of Liverpool - a deity in his homeland. It is worth Mohamed to score in the Champions League - everything, in fan polls on the UEFA site, he is the best player of the tour, and it is absolutely not important what other players did. However, to condemn the Egyptians for such worship of Salah is not necessary - remember how all of Ukraine once worried about Andrei Shevchenko. Right now, Mohamed leads the Premier League bomber race, ahead of such recognized snipers as Harry Kane, Romel Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and many others. There is no doubt that he can shoulder his team at least in the playoffs.
Edinson Cavani For many years, the main Uruguayan football striker was Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani was only number two. Right now the situation is different: Cavani continues to blossom after the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from PSG and gives away goals in batches. Even despite the sensational conflicts with Neimar due to a penalty. You can expect from El Matador goals from 5 already in the group stage and a serious struggle for the title of the best scorer World Cup 2018.
