Russia for Sam.
More chance of Russia winning it than Roscommon

Are Laois still in the championship? Seriously, though, I don't take any notice of them at all. I hope the 50 of ye that care about football are doing well.

Why are the VAR refs wearing a full kit? Is John Terry the head of the Referees committee?
That was never a square ball!!

Russia are officially the lowest ranked team in the tournament but because they didn't have to qualify they have only played friendlies for the last two years which keeps their rating down.

Liverpool were the lowest ranked team in the 2005 CL cos they were utter dog-shit.    Half a dozen perfected Stevie Me UDA-loving dives later and they win the thing.  Never say never.

Plus they've had 2 years to perfect their juicing program

The Russian team have collectively run further in their 2 matches than any other team in the competition has done in any other game. . .

If they were juiced, do you think they are the only ones on it?

That's not remotely the issue . . . they've run further than any other team in the competition by a good way and as Dinny says they probability is that other teams are juicing as well. Not that the World Cup needs to be any more farcical but this adds to it!
