Russian team is well done! She's already exactly 32 years out of the World Cup group stage in the next stage of the tournament, and she became the best in history among all the teams of the World Cup owners not only by the number of points (which is understandable, because always 2 points were always given for the victory), but also by difference goals scored and missed 8: 1. In the 30s, this was the case with the Italians, but then after 2 victorious matches they had a difference of 8: 2.
But now the question arises: what tactic should we choose for the match with Uruguay? The fact is that in 1/8, we are most likely (if Iran does not make a sensation) have to play either against the ex-world champions and Europe - the Spaniards, whom we even lost in the best years with coach Guus Hidding and Arshavin 4: 1 and 3: 0, or with the current champion of Europe - Portugal.
Portugal - we won in qualifying tournaments - at home, but at the Fed Cup - just recently - lost. Yes, they have Ronaldo, but if you neutralize it, do not foul in the vicinity of your penalty box + our fans - there are chances!
With the total Spanish football - it seems that we have no chances at all. Again - the team of Spain before the championship itself has changed the coach (who, incidentally, did not lose a single match with his team and yet was withdrawn), and the match with Portugal showed that without Xavi and the aged Iniesta, this is not the supermachine as it was before . Again, we do not know to what stage of the championship physiotherapists lead the Spaniards to the peak of the form.
But that's not the point! You know, many husbands thought that they had found their wives! And it turned out that they were correctly picked up by their future wives!
And now: Russia will play its final game with Uruguay much earlier than our potential rivals, and they can choose - that they prefer the hosts of the championship or the Uruguayan team, which is much higher in rating.
Probably, our common fight with South Americans and tell the Portuguese and the Spaniards - what tactics to choose.
But, I emphasize, I still do not know how the Spaniards will play with Iran!
To us in any case - it is necessary to gain points and please the fans!
