If Russia wins the World Cup I bet the

team gets an invite from Comrade Drumpt to the White House.

1. Well sure

They're the new America's Team.

[nevergiveup]

2. Odds of Russia winning the the World Cup are

close to zero.....won't happen. Having said this, I thought the odds of Trump winning were also close to zero.

3. They won against Spain on penalty cards, that sounds like something straight out of Putin's ...

... deck right there.

4. Cards?

Surely you meant kicks.

5. Just started into soccer due to kids, I was thinking only the red cards get kicks but if the score..

... is tied the the team with the most yellow and red card loses.

I was thinking that was the rules .. most likely wrong

6. At the end of regulation time

There are two 15 minute halves and if still tied they go to a penalty shootout. Each team gets 5 shots, or till one team wins. The Russian keeper made two good saves and they scored all their tries. Russia won the shootout 4-3, no need for them to take their 5th shot.

8. Ah, ok ... thx for this

7. they won't

they're dogged and skilled but lack a certain x-factor
