Day 7: Portugal vs Morocco, Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia and Iran vs Spain
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Actually I have to apologise @FootballHQ when he compared Uruguay with Atletico and I said they had nothing to do with them. Curious to see if they will play their best 11 vs Russia.

Ref will give a foul for anything
god knows. and people were still clamouring for him to play and even come back recently. he's useless.
It's just that I'm currently in Peru 6 hours behind and have very limited internet so have missed every single one. I did search the thread though.It's just that everyone cracked that pun after the first game.
This group is dead. Was pretty meh from the start barring Salah and Egypt's hype.
Like I keep saying... Uruguay is pretty trash. Arent getting further then the ro16. Cavani flops as always, Suarez is nowhere near what he used to be and they rely on 2 (admittedly quality) centerbacks. Really bad play pretty much everywhere else.
He doesn't look much better than any Saudis
Maybe its because he was Fergie's last signing even though Moyes sanctioned it. I once had high hopes for him.
Why the stoppage?
Awful hair on Laxalt
Flat ball I think
Laxalt looks dread-ful with that hairdo.
Apology accepted, another goal off a set piece I see.
Best thing about this game was the Uruguay anthem.
Thanks. That would be fourth one this cup. Adidas, poor job.
The goals from set pieces are the normal trend for this type of competition. How many games have been won by more than 1 goal margin? 2 or 3?Apology accepted, another goal off a set piece I see.

Sanchez
Cavani is absolutely useless. Failing to score against the worst side of the WC has to be the low point of his career.
Depends on the outcome of Spain v Iran. If that doesn’t end up as Spain victory they may be better off losing to Russia and facing Portugal from the first place.
Cavani's a pretty decent crosser. Remember his cross for Suarez's header against England at the last World Cup as well.
So it should be okay because others have used it before?It was used here maybe like 10 times during their first match and I saw it all over Facebook.
And I assume members who made this stupid joke have been warned, I hope.
Uruguay play just like Portugal and United. Only one of them has Ronaldo though.
Who does C. Sanchez play for? He’s shite 
That Sanchez fella has absolutely stunk this game up

When did I say that? Its a shit 'joke'
Don't like the prospect of playing Russia. They look well... lets say fast for this stage of the season. Hopefully not been drinking too much orange juice made by uncle Vladimir.
Alright, Ray Charles.
Not sure why they don't just put Stuani on the wing.
Bentancur and Vecino are good passers but Cristian Rodriguez and Sanchez are just too old to be playing as starting wingers.

Is Stuani supposed to be a fast player? Has he changed since his Espanyol days? He's also pretty old.
However it ends, both Morocco and Saudi Arabia impressed much more in their second outing, and showed they were worthy of WC appearance.
Coming off a good season for Girona and would also offer a bigger goal threat going forward.
This team seems to be relying a lot on Cavani and Suarez linking midfield to attack as well as scoring goals.
Uruguay are going nowhere in this tournament.
This WC shows there has never been so much balance between International teams, only Panama or Saudi Arabia showed a lot of weaknesses.
Such a boring match, lacking quality.
The next match gonna be as boring.
The next match gonna be as boring.
It's far worse than "a shit joke", it reinforces some stupid cultural stereotypes. It's totally unacceptable.
This is pathetic from Uruguay
United legend to come on.
Uruguay's final ball has been shite.
They need to be using Stuani and Maxi Gomez as subs, both had excellent seasons in Spain and with Suarez struggling to get into things, one of those could develop into important player for knock out so vital they get some minutes to try to make an impact.

Neville is such a shit commentator.
I'm probably in minority given he's a ex-United, but bloody hell he doesn't have the knack for it.

I could see them sneaking a 1-0 on Portugal or a PK win. I wouldn't be surprised by that by Spain is a tall order. Godin and Giminez can keep Spain out for a while but tough to see them making it 120 minutes with Spain.
Fairly ugly side but quality at the back and occasional magic up front. Pesky underdog.
