Given the scandal free and pure nature of football and WCs in particular, 50/1 on Russia looks an interesting proposition. 
At least to arb out if they get beyond the group stages.

Isn't it some sort of koshi-kuruma? They taught us it at school (9-10 years old)

Ramos knew exactly ... pin the arm! BUT he threw Salah on his face, not his back. ==> dislocated shoulder. I saw a similar accident last Monday by two "doing stupid" judokas (Georgian, actually) who were hell bent on winning during normal sparring.
