Agree with the play acting, but they're not that dirty, they don't need to be as they nearly always have the ball
Extremely gripping first half. Great game.
mate, i'm not talking only about this game, i know chile as much as most south american teams, they give and get at the same rate
south american footbal rivalry is really big
we argies love to beat brazil, uruguay, chile and colombia -in that exact order- then, and oly then comes italy, england and germany
thanks for the data antohan, i was right then
It's been a scrappy yet entertaining affair so far. Uruguay, looking to counter, have been quite poor on the break, but part of that is down to Diaz and co. doing a great job at the back in maintaining their shape and not dragging themselves out of position. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if Chile opens up more during the second half and concede more chances to Uruguay.
What I like is that Tabarez knows that parking the bus against Chile is pointless as Chile will eventually open them up. By pressing on them, they've made it more difficult for Chile to get out, but once Chile reached the final third, they've packed the box with all of their players bar their strikers. The midfielders and wide players have been quite disciplined and have done a good job in not conceding dangerous chances.
However well the Uruguayans have done defensively, Chile's attacking have still been threatening. Valdivia, as usual, has done well to not get closed down and get on the ball, and Chile targeting Fucile is causing Uruguay lots of problems. The fact that Isla is having his best match in the tournament says more about Fucile's lack of match time than it does about Isla. This does mean that Mena has to be more disciplined, though, even though he's excellent going forward.
The fact that the match is still 0-0 makes the match in favour of Uruguay. Chile have always opened up in the second half of every match that they've played, so there's lots of hope for Uruguay to get a goal on the counter and see the match off.

I'll take your word on the first, as I don't see Arevalo at club level.
Valdivia and Cavani, I disagree with, even though Cavani is often clumsy and Valdivia is an artist, the massive discrepancy in production is tough to argue with.
Cavani scored 11 in 21 starts as a wide attacker. I doubt more than 5 players in Europe went 1 in 2 from wide positions, now that I think about it. Messi, Ronaldo, Robben, Sanchez and probably Muller. Even if he's the worst footballer there - and he is - that's pretty elite company.
The beauty of it is they actually have better players but are real hotheads, so we are happy to play along and feed their nasty side.
If they aren't winning soon they will go into meltdown.

Let's hope you are right and Cavani starts being productive.
In fairness to him, his drunk-driving father ran over and killed a cyclist only two days ago. In jail, obviously.
Can only admire his dedication when no one would have questioned him flying back home.
Rolan is stinking up the place. Bring on Jonathan for the counter!
I know but they're tenacious and aggressive nothing wrong with that because they play on the floor where as Uruguay consistently foul against superior teamsmate, i'm not talking only about this game, i know chile as much as most south american teams, they give and get at the same rate

South American teams on the whole all do it, the only bad thing about them.
You sound like Cesc questioning Hughes for not having Blackburn play like Barca.
Bullshit. The ref is a fecking nob
fecking hell Edinson, you walked straight into it.
The worst play acting your gonna see
Honestly that is ridiculous.
Honestly that is ridiculous.
They'll be better off without him.
Didn't see Cavani slap him, I thought Para headbutted Cavani's shoulder. That is so stupid from Cavani.
Nah, only problem I have with that is the ref doing nothing after Jara's slap but being only too happy to card Cavani.
Cavani shit and stupid....
shit and stupid....what what the fecking
Cavani complains once and gets a yellow, Sanchez screams his head off and doesn't.
Oh feck off Jara.
It was nothing just Chile player play acting I dont even think there was any contact. Just ridiculous.
That red card was ridiculous haha
Cavani got booked for squaring up to the linesman and Sanchez is constantly showing dissent to the ref who's not doing anything!
Yeah as I said I didn't see Cavani's slap. I thought Jara had completely falsified the contact, but he's just guilty of horrendous play-acting.
well, europeans team has their history too
or will you defend italy? holland? portugal?
remember italy against maradona? holland against spain? portugal against brazil?
and lets not start talking about some dirty play in the PL, i never ever saw a foul like Keane against Haland
Theatrical from Alexis.
i would love if this ends 0-0 so uruguay wins this on pk s
Did Jara grab Cavani's ass?
Im sorry but how is that not a yellow? Ref clearly playing to the crowd.
Sanchez has been a good addition to the team.
I agree with Europe doing it, except for England where it hardly ever happens.
I just hate play acting on the whole, and stoppages in play cos of persistent fouls, Uruguay did it to Argentina too, ruined the game.
@Eboue is that by Monet?
i knew this was going to hapen, as soon as chile had to face a serious rival, they were going to struggle to score
they thought this was a piece of cake,
idiots!
they thought this was a piece of cake,
idiots!
Uruguay's resilience is ridiculous @antohan
you were talking about play acting? i thought you were talking about dirty playing
yes, we Sout Americans are the lawrence olivier of play acting
No, it's Edvard Munch.
That's your fecking ball Muslera!!!!!
I would scream.
