Representatives of a number of television companies with anger deny this information!
That supposedly sports commentators have already centralized such citations.

During the broadcast of the 2018 World Cup football matches with the participation of our national team, you can broadcast the following justifications for a bad game:
All teams passed through the hole of the selection matches.
The age of many players.
- Not all footballers are accustomed to the "autumn-spring" mode, which was recently adopted in Russia during the championship draw.
Many athletes from the opponent team play in the same club. They are better than Russian footballers.
A very cold summer (as in early June 2017) affected the schedule of preparation of our national team.
Young players are losing in the game against the world football.
Very high quality grass cover. Not all footballers are used to playing in this arena.
“At this world championship, the football ball "Chebour" is very uncomfortable for the goalkeepers. The trajectories of his flight are almost unpredictable".
