The_jagster Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Could be feisty, could be very defensive, could be both. Sort out your graphic design, Uruguay, far too busy. Their results so far: Urguay drew 0-0 with Korea, Portugal beat Ghana. The consequences? Portugal are through if they win. Uruguay would need to beat Ghana if they don't win today, and could still qualify if they lose, but are relying on Portugal getting a result on matchday 3 as well. History at the World Cup? Uruguay won it twice in 1930 and 1950, and after a fairly barren spell have done better in the past 20 years, finishing 4th in 2010. Portugal finished 4th in 1966 with Eusebio, despite being 3-0 down to North Korea in the quarters. After being pretty useless they are now considered a big side but have still only got past the last 16 once since qualifying for every 21st century world cup, finishing 4th in 2006. Past meetings? Uruguay knocked out Portugal in the last 16 in Russia with a 2-1 win Culture? I am not familiar with any musicians from either country and I don't need to hear Portugal the Man again. You could read some Eduardo Galleano if you like left wing politics, the Uruguayan even wrote a book on football.

CFuller Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Going for Portugal to win 2-1. On red cards. And Ronaldo to have a hissy fit when Suárez mistakes his shoulder for a meal at full-time. Also, if football does occasionally break out at any point, I'm going for Uruguay to grind out a win. If this doesn't turn into a Wikipedia article titled "Battle of Lusail", I'll be very disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_jagster Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 This is going to be very boring and Ronaldo will blast one in from 25 yards, it would be very satisfying to see Portugal lose. Mexico-Argentina was hard fought but still a rubbish game on the whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, we all said this before the R16 meeting in 2018. And it ended up 2-1 with only one yellow card I think probably a Portugal win puts the most jeopardy onto the Ghana v Uruguay decider. Does it? You basically want a situation where they both have to play for the win but one of them is definitely going home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
