Watch the Uruguayan just over the touchline where the ball lands

Missed that... Good to see that some Uruguayans have proper footy skills and don't need to resort to biting and calling players of African decent the 'N' word...

Despite a certain 'lot' of footy fans trying to convince everyone that it's a term of endearment in Uruguay. 🤣
 
I was seeing England odds of 10/1 the day before it started.

1 win and the odds are slashed.

Personally I thinks England chances are good to make the final (50/50 maybe) but not sure how well they'll be able to defend against the flair of France or even Ireland or the grind of the Saffers (who probably have the deepest squad depth)
I’ve seen teams play their way into form over a tournament previously and I think they’re capable of beating anyone on a 1 off occasion if they do. I also think some of the more fancied northern hemisphere teams have an Everton style history of always being nearly men and failing when it matters. England general seem to turn up in world cups apart from the recent World Cup at home.

England certainly have some very good players as well still and in recent World Cup knock out games it’s quite common to see the fancied team lose unexpectedly.

I also think the tough games in the other side of the draw means England could be a lot fresher when we get to the latter stages.
 
The All Blacks have already scored.

I don't know if I want to watch the match TBH. It's going to be brutal. Like watching a snuff film.

Game of the tournament for me so far was easily Wales V Fiji as it wasn’t super one-sided
I think at the time of that game the World rankings had Fiji at 7 , Australia 8 , Wales 9 so on paper these games are likely to be close . Georgia , also in the Group, were about 12 th I think . They certainly make for more interesting and entertaining games if the sides are closely matched.
 
A valiant effort from Chile, but Samoa far to strong. This'll open up now and the score will stretch as Chilean heads drop alongside their full match fitness.

Heavy going.

That pack is heavy and mobile.
