Absolute horror. That's them gone. Sickener.

Kind of a crap QF really.

Rodriguez looks more like a prop forward than a footballer

My gf works for Mulberry. You've no idea how many times I utter those words under my breath when she tells me 'about her day'.

Yep. Niggly, off the ball stuff going on. Loads of fouls, poor ref. Not a classic

I hate to typecast  a continent but South Americans are overly dramatic !!

gary neville loves it. 

 

did i imagine after lloris’s save that he said “i think any shot on target should be saved”? sure he did, which is quite possibly the most remarkable statement of all time. 

No you didnt imagine it if every shot on target should be saved we would have a lot of 0-0 draws. In fact we wouldnt have any goals

Uruguay are the Atletico Madrid of international football. Get the right arse when they're losing. Twats.

They certainly like trying to exploit the 'dark arts' of football

I started to type a similar comment about dirty tricks when they are losing then felt vaguely racist and didn't post it.

It does seem to get extremely tetchy once they start losing, more so (in the main) than European games. Maybe that's just my imagination though.

I had second thoughts myself but Colombia is still fresh in my mind

[MC Prussian]

Uruguay missed Cavani to some extent, with Stuani in the team, you're bound to lose. And little impact from central midfield.

 

At 1-0 down, I would've had them down to nick an equalizer, but Muslera.

Has Mbappe got some South American blood in him ...

I've got a little bet on with the wife that this match will finish before Norrie/Clarke's tennis match - I'm hoping they don't add much extra time

It’s not racist to say South American teams are dirty, tetchy, play acting, cheating bastards.

 

More of an accurate generalisation I’d say 

[gurru991]

Gary Neville is on form today !!

[PhillippaT]

5 minutes of extra time - come on Norrie/Clarke - don't let me down!

[Max Wall]

Pretty underwhelming first QF. I expected Uruguay to be much harder to knock out.

 

[Izzy]

Uruguay were my outside tip to win the WC but they’ve been poor today.

That sounds OK.

All we need to do is change our name to AFC Leicester City & we win the league every year. Simples
