Day 5: Switzerland vs Cameroon | Uruguay vs South Korea | Portugal vs Ghana | Brazil vs Serbia

[Tom Van Persie]

Valverde what a player

He's brilliant.

 

[Vidyoyo]

7 (seven) minutes?

 

[Kaos]

Valverde with an entry for the "we won a throw in, get in!" thread

 

[Pronewbie]

Both teams have lost their composure.

 

[Shane88]

It's 0-0, mate.

 

[prateik]

Who'll be happier with a 0-0?

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Can sense a late winner here.

 

[Tony247]

Do they have wider goalposts in S Korea?

 

[lawliet354]

Valverde have unlimited energy

 

[horsechoker]

Too many nil nils

This world cup is being saved by a few upsets and dominant nations

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

That Valverde passion was orgasmic.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

This hasn't been a bad 0-0 to be fair.

 

[Offside]

Both teams just happy not to lose.

 

[Red Star One]

Uruguay and Atletico Madrid are a match made in heaven.

 

[mitchmouse]

If anyone is going to score it's Cavani but this game has been dull. No one willing to take real risk to try to win it

 

[Nick7]

This tournament is really showing the dearth of top strikers in the game.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

That wasn't a foul.

 

[avgp_1]

It's not been a boring 0-0 at all. Not a lot of quality but great intensity even in the dying minutes. Also the atmosphere helps

 

[Sly]

How the hell is that a foul?

 

[bosnian_red]

Portugal is going to be horrible defending, that lineup has no balance at all. No Leao too, crazy the shit that you do to fit in Ronaldo. Hope Ghana cause an upset

 

[antohan]

So obvious de la Cruz should have started over Suárez. It's fecking criminal.

 

[Gio]

That wasn't a foul.

Indeed. Cracking dive.

 

[Tony247]

That wasn't a foul at all

 

[mitchmouse]

It's not even comparable, Son is so much popular than Park ever was, he's on par with kpop stars, you can't avoid seeing him if you turn on the TV as he's on so many commercials.

Isn't that because he's still playing? Not saying you are wrong

 

[WI_Red]

South Korea can save money next Olympics by having the football team do double duty as the diving team as well.

 

[Sly]

What I liked about this match is that the players gave all

 

[Offside]

Referee giving bullshit fouls when something exciting might happen always ruins these games too

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Another 0-0. Is that now already equal with the entire 2018 World Cup ?

The two upsets with Saudi Arabia and Japan have saved this World Cup so far. Been a dud otherwise.

 

[Tony247]

Fair result

 

[AndyMUFC]

Think both Uruguay and Korea could've played a week without scoring but at least these 0-0s are keeping the groups interesting. We're getting a lot of athletic smaller sides that are lacking end product.

 

[Gasolin]

Indeed. Cracking dive.

The referee is offsetting the fact that he did not whistle on the Korean players right outside the Uruguay box so

 

[pcaming]

Isn't that because he's still playing? Not saying you are wrong

could also be because he looks more like a kpop star than Ji

 

[VorZakone]

This tournament is really showing the dearth of top strikers in the game.

I think I'd struggle to name just 10 top strikers currently active. Or maybe I'm exaggerating...

 

[Swordsman]

south korea need to work on their finishing..

 

[Sly]

Should have bet on the 0-0 but I thought Uruguay would get a slim 1-0 win

 

[Ole90+3]

Both teams just happy not to lose.

Usually the way in the first games.

 

[Nick7]

I think I'd struggle to name just 10 top strikers currently active. Or maybe I'm exaggerating...

Yeah it's shocking.

 

[rollingstoned1]

Nunez playing exactly the way he does for Pool.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Fair result. Neither side deserved the win. Not even a single shot on target in this game.

 

[Ole90+3]

Uruguay full of good players but a bang average team it seems
