2018 World Cup Day 2, Group stage: Match thread and discussion

Russia lit some fireworks yesterday in the opening match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, dispatching Saudi Arabia 5-0. Today, we get to have some superb matchups with three matches to get you through the day.

First off, it’s Egypt taking on Uruguay in what, on paper, is the two class teams of Group A. Will Mohamed Salah be healthy enough to carry The Pharoahs through to victory, or will Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani be too much offense to overcome? Egypt will only go as far as Salah’s goalscoring can take them, and with the phenomenal year he’s had, he has a chance to really solidify himself as one of the best players in the world with a great tournament.
