Well we had a game on for ten minutes... back to the same as before now can't see Uruguay conceding again unless it's a Ronaldo screamer out of nowhere0

Still not sure who I want to win this.0

Great finish but goalie surely gotta be disappointed with that0

Uruguay are playing a real team game with their two world class forwards defending for dear life and throwing their bodies in the wayaliwibble said:Still not sure who I want to win this.

Not after the Lord mayor's show at all. Good game between top teams.1

I have no idea how nobody has been booked yet in this game I've seen at least 3 yellow card challenges.0

Its a great day for women in Football
First Katrien scores for Argentina then Amelie Mauresmo gets two tonight2 -
Quite refreshing as it's not a dirty game. Cavani's tackle was a mistimed striker's tackle rather than malicious albeit a booking by today's standards so pleasing to see the ref let the game flow.Manicmania said:I have no idea how nobody has been booked yet in this game I've seen at least 3 yellow card challenges.
Hopefully ref won't be penalised for it.0 -
Collina is the chief Ref so be surprised if he is penalisedRodneyCharltonTrotta said:

Ref is losing control of this match.0

Its hard to tell with the histrionics sometimes but i'm pretty sure at least 2 players have been absolutely poleaxed. Not sure I agree that's a good thing but maybe the players are just fooling me and not the ref! (they haven't really shown any replays so i'm judging on real time what I've seen - did anyone see the challenge by the Uruguayan that led up to the goalkeeper error chance? Looked incredibly nasty to me)1

William Carvalho amazing how he always seems to have plenty of time. Saw him play for Sporting this season and he was the same. Can only think it is his sheer size.0

Absolutely embarrasing refereeing0
-
Poor ref for me - but I don't think it's his fault - think he's been briefed about the over-dramatics from both sides pregame and isn't prepared to give anything.0

Fair result again. Ronaldo very disappointing0

U could see Ronaldo trying to hold in the tears haha2

The better team got the result.0

Unfair on Ronaldo.philcafc said:Fair result again. Ronaldo very disappointing
Uruguay made one defensive mistake in 96 minutes.
Godin is the best no nonsense defender in the world who demands high standards from those around him.

France v Uruguay... wow.3

Glad to be on the opposite side of the draw to Uruguay5

Both Uruguay and France looked decent today2

It's a myth that it was a mistake of Sir Alf. Bobby Charlton himself has said he couldn't continue in that game, as the heat had gotten too much for him, & sapped all his strength.soapboxsam said:Lesson one for all coaches at this world cup.
Don't take your star young players off even if there's only minutes to go.
Ramsey made that mistake in 70 with Bobby Charlton when England were 2 nil up.

Just looked at some of the quality in this World Cup....... if we manage to get through to the semi finals by landing say Colombia and Switzerland it would be a once in a lifetime stroke of luck. There is so much quality around this tournament that would chew us up and spit us out in a flash.0

It's turning into a humdinger this World Cup.1

Tend to agree with this. I think with this young England team, the further we progress the better as they will gain experience, but winning it is an expectation too far. I'm pretty happy we're on this side of the draw. Four years time will be a different matter. Though the French would worry me on today's showing.DamoNorthStand said:Just looked at some of the quality in this World Cup....... if we manage to get through to the semi finals by landing say Colombia and Switzerland it would be a once in a lifetime stroke of luck.
