This game will be the example of two estate agents meeting at a property up for sale without any clients being present. They’ll both speculate and for me the answer will be in who specualtes best. On paper the game will be very tactical with wary football.

The thing is that both teams have plenty of talent at their disposal to provide an amazing game for the neutral. 

You know there are some things for which even Shakespear would slap you :D

I think Uruguay is a way more balanced team. I expect the uruguayans to go through, although I side with Portugal.

I find it hard to compare these 2 teams as they are just about even in every aspect.

Uruguay have better center backs but Portugal has better full backs.

Uruguay has a better duo in striker but Portugal have Ronaldo.

The only ones that are clearly far above and below each other are the keeper and midfield position. I think Uruguay's midfield is much better and Rui Patricio is better than Muslera.

Can see there being a decent scrap in this one, this world cup is missing a good violent conduct dismissal.

Suarez vs Pepe :D

 

I would not mind a Netherlands vs Portugal 2006 reenactment.

I'd say even Patricio and Muslera are fairly similar.

I used to like Muslera a lot but to me he's never really reached his potential. In the past few years I've always seen him as the 3rd weak link in this Uruguay team along with the full backs (and whenever the hell Cebolla Rodriguez plays)

That was the same goal Cavani scored against England in 2014, but from further distance.

Was It Cavani? I thought Suarez got both.

Sorry, that was Suarez. But you get the point, same partnership similar play.
