Guest Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Like I mentioned, everything points to France winning and Mbappe being like Ronaldo and Pele when they were young. Even if the former didn't really "win" the world cup by himself in 1994. I really want Uruguay to win it and I think it can go either way, but if Mbappe performs I think Los Charruas might struggle.

Should be a good game between two teams deliberately giving the ball away just to win it back They would make an interesting side to face in the final before it comes home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Cavani reportedly out of the game. Stuani is rumored to be his replacement. Big loss for Uruguay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulh_85 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 if thats true then a huge blow. Uruguay surely wont give mbappe the space that the argies did, was slightly siding with the south americans in this one, but if theres no cavani i might have to change my mind.

Godin himself won't let Mbappe do what he did. Uruguay's defence is markedly better than the Argentinian shit-show so I expect this to be a tighter game. Reckon Uruguay might still do it without Cavani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 once everyone in the team has taken one it stops. First decider is discipline. record next is cumulative distance traveled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Uruguay have the meanest CB partnership in the tournament in Godin and Gimenez...literally Atletico Madrid. Maybe they can park that bus and hope for a set piece win or in penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that Griezmann does a hell of a lot of work in midfield and is extremely difficult to track by opponents by pulling them out of position and giving space to quick players. It's one of the main reasons Simeone loves him so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, watching you guys play I've seen him playing in the same tactical fashion as he does for Atleti, but maybe I'm wrong mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Rooting for France in this one, mostly because of N'Golo but wouldn't mind Uruguay in the semi's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Interesting fact Uruguay has played four World Cup games without either of Suarez or Cavani (ever since they have joined the NT) and they haven't won none of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
