Yeah the rankings are not worth looking at for a team who had no qualifiers and played friendlies against decent teams . No wonder their rankings went to sh*t.  Just like Wales and Switzerland avoided friendlies and their rankings went up as a result .

This Russian side isn't a good side at all, aside from Chershev and Afkinfeev you'd struggle to find a good player in the rest of the 21 man list.
They looked better than they actually are against a side who quite frankly reminded me of Gibraltar - They want to play football, but they just simply can't.

I expected alot better from Saudi, this is afterall the same team who beat the Japs so I was expecting mediocre football at best not horrifically terrible

Golovin is a really good player and will probably move to a top league in the next few months, not to mention Alan Dzagoev who could definitely operate in a far better league.

The likes of Zhirkov and Ignashevish etc to their credit have had good careers, but age has caught up with them.

This fella seems to never age, he's been around forever LOL

I bet his birth certificate is in roman numerals he's been around for that long.

I hope he is fit to at least start at least one game.
It would be a terrible shame after the brilliant season he’s had.
