Uruguay should win this handy enough without Suarez. 4-0.

He's on the bench if needed.

Can't see Costa Rica getting a result but would love to see Joel Campbell have a good tournament.

Kirby

Godin is decent enough but overall that Uruguay defence isn't great. Caceres and Lugano aren't international level.

Their Forwards are damned good but there is weakness in that team.

I've Cavani to score first and 3-0 at 20/1. And Cavani to score first and 4-0 at 42/1.
Not a lot of goals in that Uruguayan midfield. Think that is a big weakness...

Lugano might be the slowest starting center back in the tournament.

Really looking forward to seen Cavani play. Think he could be the striker of the tournament

Neeson

Hopefully kenny gets a run out.

Awww, the cute little girl looking up at the big goalkeeper..

GreNoLi

Can't see Uruguay pipping England to qualification.

Francie Barrett

Bryan Ruiz captain, there's an absolute battler who will never let his team down :pac:

Seems to be a lot of empty seats in the stands

Mertesacker.

Mertesacker is actually a good defender mind...

I think you will be wrong. Italy & Uruguay to qualify.

Francie Barrett

Did anyone just see that Uruguay throw in? First time I have ever seen someone take a throw in that was higher than it was long in a competitive match.

New tactical innovation, the Garryowen throw in...

CountyHurler

These Costa Ricans are a lot better than people give them credit for ... lot of zippy, skillful players..

Oat23

Howler.

LightningBlue

Woeful finish by Cavani. No composure.

Nuri Sahin

Pathetic volley.

Neeson

Fair play to Brian Kerr. He travelled over 2000Km since the Aussie match last night to get to Fortaleza.

Mantis Toboggan

Loads of empty seats again!

FourFourRED

"They should call him Mini really" - shocking.

LightningBlue

Costa Rica the better team so far. Uruguay very disjointed.

CountyHurler

Jaysus he's a lucky boy... He could have gone off for that...

keith16

Penalty?

LightningBlue

That looked like a Uruguayan hand.

Will I Amnt

F*cking joke!!

Edit: maybe not , thought he gave it for the handball.

CurryFlavoured

Peno, I need to see a replay.

Brian Kerr is annoying. Rambles on too much.

Mars Bar

what was he thinking? good call ref

Nuri Sahin

Wow..

CurryFlavoured

Yeah, that's a pen. He was behind his man so he decided to take him out.

Hammer Archer

Good call.

CountyHurler

Good call by the ref in fairness... Everybody thought he'd got it completely wrong..

efb

Foul. Penalty.

Insane Rambling

Correct decision! Well taken peno.

Mars Bar

great penalty

Panthro

Hate the way they surround the ref.
Cavaniiiiii!!!

Lucas Hood

Pulled him to the ground clear penalty but you don't always see them given.

I actually enjoy him, discusses the tactics well.

Nuri Sahin

Great call.

Cavani, 1-0!

LightningBlue

Great spot by the ref. Credit where its due.

Good penalty by Cavani.

Lugano attempting the Jones face at any given chance.
