Can you imagine if Jozy & Wood could link up the same way as Suarez and Cavani did on that goal?

I have a good imagination, but I imagine I'd need some strong psychedelics to imagine that.

Only US linkup play that good that comes to mind is Landon-Davies vs Brazil...

 

[Slapdash]

Agree with the announcer (Twellman I think?).  That is a foul, but Suarez is milking it.  Reffing is pretty loose right now with a lot of hot-heads on the pitch.

 

[AAABatteries]

Suarez is a gigantic #######.

Last time US was involved with a goal like that

Suarez is a gigantic #######.

For his safety he needs to be in concussion protocol.

Uruguay wearing 4 stars because they won 2 Olympic titles is Alabama/UCF level shtick.

I hope Rafael is left in the locker room with his cleats taken away

Cliff's of 1st half? (stupid kid's birthday parties!!)

WTF, when did they start doing that?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

This is the perfect ref for these two teams.  I expect manslaughter charges to result from the second half.

Wonderful half-pitch, in the air give and go between Suarez and Cavani.  Portugal has a bit more possesion and more chances, but they haven't been dangerous.  Uruguay looks very comfortable in defense and with the ball.  Almost too comfortable...

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Cliff's of 1st half? (stupid kid's birthday parties!!)

Uruguay = good.  Cavani and Suarez link up with a pair of passes that covered 80 yards (combined) for the goal.

Ref not interested in showing any cards.

Suarez would be dead if he'd actually been hit in the head as many times as he's grabbed his head.

 

[AAABatteries]

Portugal has to push forward more from the midfield - Uruguay defense is too comfortable right now.

I remember that goal because our stupid ### team had like 6 guys going forward for a ball in the far corner when all we had to do was bleed off 40 more seconds. 

ThenTHAT happened. I am still pissed about that goal. Thanks a lot.

He was brutal

I don’t know but it’s hilarious.

This dude is not giving a yellow unless somebody loses a limb.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

The ref definitely has the under on cards.

Pepe sees the light

Odds update - Portugal goes from 40-1 to 25-1; Uruguay 14-1 to 20-1

 

[Slapdash]

It had to be friggin Pepe

I’ve nevwr heard of this:

”In addition to having won four World Cups, Uruguay also won a more important competition: the World Champions’ Gold Cup. This tournament was held in 1980 and is celebrated every 50 years, so the next one will be in 2030. To take part in this tournament, all teams must have won at least one World Cup, with the exception of special invitations given to teams with a strong World Cup trajectory in the past 50 years.”

ETA - this has to be a bucket list item for a big soccer fan, no?  Once in a lifetime opportunity- literally

so smooth

 

[AAABatteries]

Wow - you could see that one coming and the keeper had no chance.

Made it look easy.

No keeper in the world could stop that shot.  Perfection

So boring, this game.

Cavani

More looks

 

[TLEF316]

Are they just not capable of designing a shirt that contains cavani's nipples? Do we not have the technology?

Even if we had that technology, why would we use it for evil?

@The Gator - nice cross by Raphael - where the hell did they get this guy?

 

[TripItUp]

such a great event...this WC continues to deliver the goods.

Best event in the world bar none.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Oh man... both teams looking to inflict damage on each other now and ref still not calling anything.  Someone's going to get wrecked.

Not if they can't design shorts to contain CR7's thighs.

I am looking forward to more of our FFA Mensa candidates telling us how the sport is not popular in the US.

Jesus Stop raising your hands asking for a whistle and play the game! Uruguay almost got scored on while four of them stood there in the box whining.
