December 2, 20223 yr Gorgeous volley from uru. Being able to put those on goal is huge. So many get launched high.

Yeah they're playing tough. Always interesting to see what teams do in these situations. I think a lot of managers have the mindset that you want to keep up your momentum and go in to the knock outs playing your best ball. But they could turn it down a bit in the 2nd half. We'll see.

December 2, 20223 yr why the fuck is CR7 literally lollygagging offsides on almost every single ball played into the BTS quarter of the field
December 2, 20223 yr The one thing that never gets brought up in the Suarez/Ghana 2010 discusión is the absolute Superman dive the Ghanaian player took to set up the set piece the play came from. It should have ended up in penalties anyway with Suarez available against the Netherlands. Uruguay is the one who should be pissed. Also, fuck the Ghanaian national team.
December 2, 20223 yr BTW - have you guys heard that FIFA is talking about doing away with same time final day play and playing the final day like other days? I'd welcome that. It's stupid having to watch 2 games at the same time. Yeah - and it's not like they can't figure out what's going on in the other game. I like the way it is done now. It leads to the bat-shit craziness that happened yesterday afternoon. Besides, if you play the final day group matches separately, you invite fuckery such as this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gijón
December 2, 20223 yr 26 minutes ago, Longboard Horn said: Suarez bite anybody yet? Relajate, amigo. El Vampiro still has a second half in which to feed. Still one of the funniest things I've ever seen is Suárez holding his teeth as if they were injured after biting Chiellini. Soccer shithousery at its finest. That said, he's a legend in my book and his handball versus Ghana was brilliant.

And therein is the problem. Playing them concurrently allows for you to let them develop together. And you end up with moments where Spain and Germany are out with Japan and CR moving on - if even for just 3 minutes.

It doesn't mater what he did in the past, right now the guy doesn't defend. And frankly as much as he walks out there, he is almost better as the super sub.
December 2, 20223 yr Cool we're gonna get to see Uruguay players roll around on the ground for the next 45 minutes.

Also, the English still have an issue with the Hand of God. Why is he wearing Uruguayan kit in these videos? 😉
December 2, 20223 yr We might have 25 mins of added time with the amount of flopping and rolling around by Uruguay right now
December 2, 20223 yr Portugal just booting it around now. It's in front of SK if they want it. 4 minutes ago, C-Man said: Suarez might be the cuntiest cunt who ever cunted on the pitch? Yay or nay? He's a cunt but that's a competitive field we're talking about.

He’s on the short list of course. I would add Vinnie Jones (before he started acting) Pepe Joey Barton And he really isn’t even the worst Uruguayan footballer. I’m pretty sure their proctology practices against Scotland in 86 have to count for some cuntiness points. Edited December 2, 20223 yr by Kringelbert Fishtybuns
