WorldCup2018; Russia came and came prepared

The first game of the competition gave fans, viewers and competitors a lot more than they bargained for.

Russia completely destroyed Saudi Arabia in todays game with the first goal coming in just 12 minutes after start time. 

After a disastrous first half for the Saudi team, the Saudis came back with vengeance in the 2nd half. They clearly did the very best they could but they were simply no match for the highly skilled Russian squad. The game ended five goas to nil; first 2 goals came at the first half,  1 more gaol came at the 2nd half and the last two goals came during the 5 minutes extra time of the second half.

Those who counted Russia out now have a lot of thinking to do.
