Uruguay and Russia are scheduled to play their World Cup Group A match on 6/25/18 at 10:00am EST. FIFA's lowest ranked team in the tournament Russia has run over the competition outscoring their opponents 8-1 over two games. Russia's tide is high but can they walk over a Uruguay team that has won their last 5 games in a row? The result will not determine eliminations as both teams have already qualified for the 2nd round, but it will decide who plays Spain, Portugal, or Iran in their next match.
