FIFA 2018 World Cup Thread

I read that as beaten by police.

i think Uruguay always were compact, too compact and v egypt couldnt get their full backs forward at all, there was just no width- and no creatvity apart from cavani again and again trying to create openings for suarez
You shut down cavani and they have nothing really, unless they start bringing some width to their game

edit
just saw the goal
that russian keeper ,

Yes - and when they did attack in last two games they left themselves exposed on the break. He’s cut that out.

And again? Seemed slow to react.

OOOOO

GGGGGG

Double deflection

Salah scores

Brilliant from a man on the bench.

A beauty.

Ah that should have been 3. Uruguay look a lot more lively.

Almost 3-0 there. Uruguay cut them apart.

Russia may have already played their World Cup final(s).

The russian hooligans are tooling up i’d say…the party is over.

Uruguay are gone into their nickel / prevent defensive mode now with Suarez gone back into a deeper role and Cavani very much up top on his own.

It’s more of a diamond here from Uruguay actually.

Ref has sent Smolnikov off. They won’t like that.

SmolnikOFF.

The black ref will be found hanging from a tree tonight. The Russians will not like that, at all.

Smolnikov off for a second yellow. He slid in and I think he took the man. He’s claiming he got a Smolnikov the ball though.

Uruguay have arrived at this World Cup today. They are on track to top their group with 9pts and possibly without conceding a goal too and have played within themselves. Not a bad position to be in.
