I never count S.Korea out. They have energy. They chase and they've got some very decent players. This will be a good match

[Stan]

The cheers from the crowd are like what you hear at a charity game 

[Stan]

Shocking pass from Oliveira for Nunez 

[Stan]

And that should have been the opener for South Korea. Poor finish. 

[6666]

SK should've taken the lead there. Chance was well made.

[El Profesor]

I'm impressed by the number of korean fans in the stadium. The atmosphere is pretty cool.

[Stan]

Godin header hits the post! Unlucky not to score.

[6666]

Danny Murphy talking shit about how hitting the post should be seen as hitting the target. This man needs binning.

[Rick]

Suarez is finished.

Has Nunez played LW for Liverpool? Feel like he's wasted there just to accommodate Suarez which in turn is detrimental to Uruguay. Even if Nunez is used as an inverted forward. 

Play Nunez up front and have a more mobile and agile player. 

Gotta admit S. Korea have been very organised and made it very hard for Uruguay to create attacks anyway.

Should have been finished after the 3rd bite.

I would replace Suárez with De Arrascaeta and then put Darwin in his original position.

Uruguay needs criativity and Arrascaeta is that traditional type of attacking midfielder. Really gifted player, very creative.

[Stan]

Game has gone quite scrappy. 

[Mel81x+]

Brazil will eat both these teams alive.

[Stan]

Wow. Valverde smashes the post from about 30 yards out.

He's the kind of guy who thinks he's the funniest person in the room with lots of 'banter' but in reality he's just dull and annoying. 

[Stan]

Says it all

 

 

[Waylander]

With Cavani coming on late at 0-0 I wondered if they would produce something at the last minute.

Not today. 

[Lucas]

Uruguay were massively disappointing given the quality they have. Zero shots on target is a shambles and there's no getting away from that.

Has he finished biting people yet?

Once they have tasted footballer they can't be trusted after that, better to have him put down, safer for everyone in my opinion

Some ya win. Some ya draw.

Well, this was another 0-0 draw, the 4th 0-0 draw in the 1st round of matches at the group stage. To be fair, Uruguay should have won. They had more of the play, and they hit the post twice through a header by Godin and a long range shot by Valverde. South Korea had one very dangerous chance through Hwang. But his shot in the penalty area, from a cross, went narrowly over the bar. I still think that Uruguay will qualify from this group, by finishing 2nd behind Portugal.
