CFuller Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 3-0 to Uruguay. That's a very conservative prediction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 This is either going to be a boring 2-0 or a trouncing, I will go with the latter and say 4-0 - Cavani x2, Suarez and one of those other fellas to pop up with one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many clear cut chances did Saudis created? 25 minutes ago, ArsenalFan7 said: The odd Copa America match and qualifier but nothing compared to the tedium of this I guess the dark horse tag is a curse. No, they're basically a NT version of Atletico. Struggle against defensive opposition as they have no real creator in midfield, but are really dangerous against stronger teams. Their defense is among the best if we talk national teams only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi's were of course the better side that first half outside the scoreline, they controlled the game and Uruguay looked turgid. They just lead through individual insanity, it is what is, I'm not saying Saudi's should have been 1 up. I'm just disappointed Uruguay can only muster up this pathetic showing vs. this quality opposition. In fairness, I am a bit of broken record in my rants this world cup. Ranting about the poor quality of the bigger teams, games in general and referees. This game has been very apt in that regard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_jagster Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I don't think Saudi Arabia have ever been the better team, it's quite easy to pass the ball round midfield if no-one is pressing, but they haven't created any chances unlike Uruguay.
