How much would Russia have to pay Sean Connery just to stand with the team during the national anthems in uniform? Every time I hear the Russian national anthem I naturally think of Sean Connery.
He wouldn't even have to sing it, just wave his arms encouraging everyone else to sing louder.
It'd be worth it.

Belgium wears Calgary Flames colours. Russia is evil and homophobic... Should be a pretty easy choice for all of us.

Plus the Belgian names are fun to say!
They've got a good deep team, it's not like Vertonghen is hot garbage.

They're a great team to watch, so much talent and youth and inexperience, they willing to take risks which generate a lot of errors, but it's exciting to watch.

Why wouldn't they be? They've got 3 points already, a point for a draw against Russia and then a game against South Korea, they've got an excellent chance to go through regardless.
And the Russians get a point here and likely 3 against Algeria and Russia and Belgium are almost certainly through.
