There'll be more when the tournament kicks off.

Almost certainly there will be a large scale incident like Poland vs Russia 2012, England vs Russia in France 2016...

yeah, seems to always be the russians so this year should be even worse.

Russia vs Saudi Arabia tomorrow.

I've got this as a 2-0 win for Russia.

Three games on Friday and then four on Saturday.

Russia. Golovin top player and needed at Arsenal.

My boyyyyyyy

Meh. My lads played okay but were no match for the vodka-drinkers. Allah will punish them!

Decent start to the tournament. Always nice to have an interesting, exciting game (well, first half anyway) to open things up. BBC coverage is shocking this time around. Highlights only?

Egypt vs Uruguay
Morocco vs Iran
Portugal vs Spain

Picks in bold. Morocco vs Iran - draw.

$10 says Portugal win

No chance. Average team, struggled in qualifying and rode their luck two years ago. Spain have a point to prove.

Spain win by two clear goals.
