Thank fuck for that. Can't stand Portugal. An abundance of talent shoehorned into a Shitcoat-like ethos of preening egotism, doing-the-bare-minimum tactics and shithouse antics. They won't be missed.

 

Two cracking goals by Cavani, and some typically diligent and tactically intelligent defending by the Uruguayans. If they actually ended up winning the thing, I'd love to see coach Tabarez do this in the middle of the Luzhniki:

I think Uruguay & Portugal are as bad as each other tactically & shithouse-y , but Uruguay have two world class attackers to Portugal's one. Love Luis, but would be disappointed to see another negative team win a major international trophy after Portugal in the Euros.

No Ronaldo. No Pepe. No contest.

Don't get me wrong JS I dislike Portugal intensely on a personal level & am really pleased that Uruguay won , but when I look at Godin / Gimenez , a decent youthful midfield & Suarez/Cavani i  think the attitude of ' just doing enough ' is disappointing from them. Once Cavani scored they went more & more defensive until they conceded , but when they needed a goal it took them about two minutes to find one.

I'd love to see them win it.

That Cavani is made of steel. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays some part against France. I doubt there are many outfield players who play League and European football plus internationals who have a better injury record.

He'd better be, Denny , I have a tenner on him as top scorer.

Down hold ankls, win the ball back jump up

 

Diabolical intent

Ha ha diabolical intent. That brings back memories of the Suarez thread in world cup 14. Pictures of him being responsible for the Malaysian airlines disappearance etc. Very funny.

Uraguay a great team playing good, old traditional but effective football. But I'm afraid they have little chance against the pace and power of France.

By not bothering to defend like professional footballers, Argentina made France look a lot better than they are.
