1601: Not sure why, but there's a slight delay to kick off in the Luzhniki Stadium - neither team in any particular Russia (ahem) - but we're moments away from the start now...

Good to see they decided to delay the start so i could finish watching Raw

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin shot from distance, Given saves well.

Arshavin hasn't completely lost his shooting abilities. Though granted he was in a very central position for that one.

You probably could've guessed the finish tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arshavin nearly assisted the assister. Semshov decided to blast it across goal for some reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Given saves from Semshov, Hollywood save?

Ireland are getting pummeled at the moment.

[Cripps_orig]

Looked a hollywood save to me. Expect a top quality keeper to grab hold of that
