#OTD in 2018, Russia defeated Spain on penalties to earn victory after the inaugural shootout of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow into delirium.
🇪🇸 Spain 1-1 Russia 🇷🇺
#FIFAWorldCup #ESPRUS | July 1, 2018
#ESPRUS was painful to watch, but that's what Russians have to endure every time our team plays football... and somehow they managed to win this time!
I can just imagine the phone call if #ESPRUS had gone the other way
"Mr. Putin, sir! I heard you just got beat by a bunch of Spanish speakers. Say the word and I'll deploy ICE in there in a heartbeat"
#ESPRUS if you’re going to win in penalties, make the save any way you can… and in style
#ESP's abysmal record against the host nations...continues! Last time they play a host at the #WorldCup before #RUS...2002 World Cup last 8 against #KOR, also out on penalties then. #ESPRUS
Iago Aspas...denied! #RUS is through, to the last 8!
(But what was that, Aspas...) #ESP #WorldCup #ESPRUS
.@realDonaldTrump DO NOT CONGRATULATE #ESPRUS
Kackspiel #ESPRUS
Putin just KNOWS De Gea won't save half the penalties #sparus #esprus #WorldCup #Mundial2018
Penalty shootout at the Luzhniki! This is almost like the 2008 Champions League final all over again! And it is raining (just like back then!)...
#ESPRUS #ESP #RUS #WorldCup
everyone got their rain/Spain/pain zingers racked up?
#ESPRUS
Free-kick for #ESP...closest to the chance on goal! And now...what? #RUS #ESPRUS #WorldCup
(VAR is looking now.)
Looks like Spain is colluding with Russia RN #ESPRUS
Seriously, the TV transmission here...freezes up at #ESP's best moment on goal! #ESPRUS #WorldCup
(Never mind, there is now a replay. And yet again, Akinfeev to the rescue for #RUS!)
Beep! Half-time of added extra-time. Still 1-1. Both sides, already made their fourth substitution...#ESP #RUS #ESPRUS #WorldCup
In absence of Italy 🇮🇹, #esprus would be the final in the national anthems world cup 🇷🇺🇪🇸
Now #RUS has their fourth substitution! The first time it is happening at this #WorldCup. #ESPRUS #ESP
La prestazione deludente di squadre normalmente forti contro la Russia me la spiego solo con la presenza di cecchini appostati in giro per lo stadio. #ESPRUS
Russia has scored all the goals in this game thus far #ESPRUS #WorldCup2018
