2018 FIFA World Cup Prediction Contest

It's not surprising, considering they probably kept the fast for a month. Vasily Utkin even talked about it (about the month of Ramadan, for those who don't know), and I still consider him the only competent analyst and expert in football...

Pure nonsense and absolute incompetence in matters of fasting. Utkin himself could benefit from fasting, instead of talking nonsense. If you approach food correctly, there will be no loss of strength or endurance. I have fasted many times myself, and weeks on liquid food are especially effective; there is so much energy and endurance that you don't know where to put it. Today, the average person eats four times more food than they need, and then spends a large portion of that energy digesting it.

The Saudis are not footballers in the first place; it's not their thing. The way they moved, the way they worked with the ball – it was very amusing, as if they were aliens.
