Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea

Suarez aside, I always hope Uruguay - the original football super-power - does well in the Copa America and World Cup.

I love their passion, which topples over into gamesmanship and violence sometimes.

I agree, tiny, overshadowed but always competitive. Nothing but respect.

The shot of Suarez crying.......made my week! LOL

….he cries because the game matters to him, incredible really but nice to see redemption for the cheating. Uruguay poorly managed that final 30mins. Cheats don’t prosper for once.

How was that not a pen on cavani?

Because it wasn't a foul?

Contact does not equal a foul.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

come on USA!

Nooooo

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Argentina and Uruguay and Germany are my 3 favourite national football teams.

And Senegal, surely?

 

[Jimishorts]

Yes, cry Luis, cry!!!

….its important that football matters to players but in their case it borders on mattering too much as it gets in the way of managing the game.

I thought they should have had two - they didn't even look at one of them.

Honestly, I have no idea how VAR works anymore. This whole World Cup seems utterly artificial to me. I suspect VAR will have a huge say in who actually wins it from here.

Did you ever stay into allowing personal feelings or emotions into derailing your game?

But got what they deserved. Just like mexico. Tried to kill games with a negative approach. Only turned up when staring down the barrel. If both these sides hadnt been so negative in the other games they would both possibly be through.

That cavani wasn't even close to a pen imo

I understand not thinking it was a penalty but it’s definitely not one that you can say “wasn’t even close”

Always remember a WC when every game was carnage, until they had to win the last game,they played great flowing football, but never won the game.
They do have it,but the dark arts always appear.

It doesn't border on it, it goes way over. We are talking about a player who racially abused an opponent to gain an edge
