Egypt is a bit in trouble imo...even tho Russia is kinda ass, it will be basically an away game for Egypt in St Petersburg, which they basically must win. Will be Salah's first action after injury so his form might be an issue. If they draw with Russia, Uruguay will likely not be motivated against Russians in the last group match
Agree that Egypt is in trouble, but disagree with Russia being ass. They may not be a footballing superpower, but they have plenty of talent that plays on respectable teams around the world... they just tend not to show on the big stage. 5-0 is what happens when you have a decent footballing talent producing country vs a oil money nation. Saudi Arabia had 0 chance and anyone who seriously watches soccer would know that was going to happen.
I think Uruguay will cruise now and will probably rest starters in the final group match, if not, the next game because that's how lopsided the talent level is in this group(and in almost all the groups).
ETA: Uruguay vs Russia will be a better match. Russia could beat Uruguay... Unless the real Luis Suarez and Edson Cavani show up.
