RUSSIA sent their fans into World Cup heaven with that 5-0 drubbing of Saudi Arabia in last week's opening match.

Victory by such a wide margin gives them a real chance of qualifying from the group stage.

Egypt, who left talisman Mo Salah on the bench, lost to Uruguay in their first game. The Liverpool hitman is crucial to their hopes of making the knockout stage.
