I haven’t watched this game but both teams have very unlikeable players in their teams. Happy Portugal is out, unhappy that Uruguay progressed.

Agreed. But the quality of Uruguay's goals tipped the balance for me. Never unhappy to see Ronny and Pepe looking miserable either...

But they both have fantastic players as well, so frustrating watching their gamesmanship rather than their skill.
 
Kind of nice the Messi v Ronaldo sideshow is now irrelevant. Delighted to see back of Ronaldo, football is a team game, maybe someone should tell him. 1 goal in 46 free kick attempts is it, not a great return but never mind just give the ball to Ronaldo😂
 
Wow, you're going to have a nightmare tonight with Portugal and Uruguay, both teams stuffed full of cheating divers and practitioners of the dark arts.
Who do you want to lose this one?
portugal the worst team in the world for diving ,cheating and moaning at the ref.
Sick of the Messi Ronaldo debate.

Saurez is a real cheating p&#%+ But you would you have him in your team .?
 
Don't get the dislike for Uruguay, fantastic pair of strikers and a top defence conceding only 1 goal in 4 games. They thumped the hosts too.

That first goal was a thing of beauty, the passes and crosses were fab. Second goal was pretty sublime finish too.

Only a wee country of <4 million people so punch above their weight, something my country used to do back in the 60s and 70s but no longer.

Hope they do well. Suarez is a chancer but some player too. Uruguay seem very focussed, fit and have a clear strategy.

Any news on Cavani 'injury'? They really need him.

No issue with Uruguay as team, just getting annoyed at the best in the world rolling around, Suarez, Neymar, Ronaldo etc.
The Uruguay goals were superb, they don’t need to cheat.
 
Your predictability really knows no bounds. :rolleyes:

A touch pot kettle there don’t you think - it’s no surprise that you are critical of Messi then quiet when Ronaldo has a stinker

We had people turn up last night and so I didn't actually watch the game, hence my apparent quietness.
Sorry, but it'd be wrong of me to comment on something I knew nothing about!
 
Just seen some ‘highlights’ of Otamendi. Makes me feel happy that Argentina is out. Him and Pepe would make some fine duo. Yuk.
 
I'm admiring the doggedness of the Russians but if this is all they have then it is time to go. The Spanish look blunt and one dimensional. Their possession stats will look great but I reckon I could have played in goal for Russia today and the score would be no different.

Not the most exciting of games, but intriguing never-the-less.
I fear Spain will nick one at the death.
