What do you want from them? They are getting it done without over exerting themselves. It was 32 degrees at kick off…they’ll have bigger tests that will require a lot more energy.

Suarez is finished

I expect them to be less shit,

Uruguay win 1-0 without breaking a sweat and qualify, Saudi restore some pride, everyone’s happy!!

Just looking there… Tomorrow should be a cracking day. Denmark v Oz , Peru v France and Argies v Croatia.

Uruguay have conserved a lot of energy here while Russia are breaking records on ground covered winning their games.

That energy can’t be bought back in the knockout stages.

I think brian Kerr summed Uruguay up by describing them as not easy on the eye

That energy is easier to recover when you’re using PED’s all the same

Rightyo mate, carry on with your jibber jabber, they’ll do nothing.

They never have been. They generally get the job done though, to a certain extent anyway

What they’ll do/ won’t do is a different argument. They just floated around because that’s all they had to do. The Arabs are beyond hopeless.

I’m sure they were intending to be defending corners at 1-0 up in injury time, just for the experience
They should have had those chumps out of sight

Uruguay have been horrible to watch so far. They haven’t even pressed really, which they will have to do against the better teams. They’ve just sat in and basically presumed the opposition aren’t going to be good enough to score.

They would look to be better suited to playing bigger teams alright, but if they actually want to score, they’ll have to play with a bit more energy, in both defence and attack. Suarez & Cavani aren’t blessed with massive pace, so you probably have to play the ball into them around the edge of the box.

Hard to see them not reaching a semi final now with the energy they’ve banked.

is this a reference to something? Odd question if not.
No, by the way. Physically angry?

Those fucking vuvuzelas would do your mallet in

There’s some amount of people caught up in world cup hype who wouldn’t watch a match from one end of the year to the next. Box office.

Only issue is they talk an awful amount of scutter.

Just heard this belter. “Spain need to press harder on the d”. Granted it’s an American chap, but surely he got the innuendo. I said nothing

Iran are right dogged fuckers.

But as George Hamilton might say at some point here, there’s no difference for them between a draw and a defeat.

Spain will be 2-0 before the 70th minute

Had to mute it. Is this the first game those fucking horns have been at?
