and he is the Saudi center defender and Captain. I can't wait to see Salah up against that guy.

Artem Dzyuba, at 6 foot 5 inches, looked like a giant when he substituted on in the second half. It is going to be fun watching some of these match-ups with opposing defenders.

Denis Cheryshev, subbed on when Dzagoev went down with a hamstring injury was a revelation, scoring two very nice looking goals.He has played in Spain his whole career (100 games with Real Madrid's Castilla B team). He is one of only two players playing outside of Russia. The other is the back-up goalie. How was he not a starter? Did they assume they were going to win anyway and were saving his legs? Is Russia making a statement about how it sees the future for players that leave the domestic league?
