On June 14 in Moscow, the kick-off will be started from beginning the match between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Both of these teams are in Group A with Egypt and Uruguay. The real battle of this group will be started between Uruguay and Egypt. Uruguay has legendary footballers like Luis Suarez and Kawani, while Egypt has faith in its hero Mohammed Salah. There is no hope of reversal from Russia, Saudi Arabia. In Group A Teams can create a challenge for other top contenders.

Egyptian coach Hector Cooper and Liverpool star player Mohammad Salah are credited for bringing the team to the final 32. His lapse session for Liverpool was pretty well and If his form remains intact, then the picture of Group ‘A’ can be stunned. At the age of 45, Esham al-Hedhi will set a record in goalkeeping.

Uruguay Football team:

At the beginning of the qualification round, defeats rose some question to the strategy of coach Oscar Tabaraj. Then the experienced coach changed his strategy. In the qualifying zone, Uruguay has secured second place after Brazil. The team has an accurate synergy of young and experienced players. Luis Suarez, who smacked for Barcelona, is a well-known footballer. 31-year-old Edison Kawani is also in formidable form, has managed to score ten goals in the qualification round before the World Cup. Two-times World Cup and Copa America winner Uruguay how effectively will perform on Russian soil, time will tell.

Saudi Arabia has made its place in 32 teams for the first time since 2006. In the qualifying round, fans have seen a lot of ups and downs. In the Asian qualifying group ‘B’, the Saudi team secured second place after Japan. This team has failed to make a mark on the international level. In the qualification round the team was in the field with the style of 4-3-3. The performance of the Saudi team is currently mixed up with good and bad. The defeat against Belgium on March 27 has put the team in trouble. Earlier, the team had to face defeat from Iraq.

Russia Football Team:

Russia is the host, and because of this, the team got the chance to play in the World Cup. There has been a lot of change in the Russia team after the poor performance in Euro 2016. Young faces have been given the chance after coach Stanislav Chercheosov take the responsibility. In the team’s attack line-up, Fyodor Smolov and Alexander Cochrane had the potential to score a lot of goals for the team last year. After taking the responsibility of the chief coach, Cherchosov gave a new edge to the team’s defense. However, questions are being raised on excluding some senior players. Russia never emerged as a superpower in world football. If Russia’s team succeeds in leaving the impression of a host and domestic audience, it will be like the communication of new hope for Russia’s football. However, this truth can not be denied that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian team has always looked weak and scattered in the World Cup.
