Hello everyone,
Yesterday Russia proved that Saudi Arabia is probably the worst team of the competition by steamrolling over them 5:0 and my prediction was correct although I didn't guess the score (but who did, right?)
The second match of group A is today and it's the only day in which there are 4 World Cup games. Real football fan holiday. Really excited about the first match where we will see Mo Salah and his defense minded team and one of the best attacking (Cavani, Suarez) and worst defending team in the world.
Egypt
Pros: Solid defence, coach Tabarez, Mo Salah as one of the best players in the world
Cons: Depend too much on Salah, lack of quality
Uruguay
Pros: Amazing forwards that can decide the game in seconds, individual quality, wining mentality(garra)
Cons: Weak defense
Summary
Two very different teams meet each other. Uruguay will try to attack and score as soon as possible while Egypt will try to defend and score through Mo Salah who is fit to play after the shoulder injury (caused by a biggest dickhead in the game).
I don't believe Egypt has the quality to win this game but it could happen if they manage to not concede a goal and Uruguay gets nervous. As that is highely unlikely to happen, I expect Cavani and Suarez to have a great game.
Prediction
Uruguay to win (3:1)
