Gallese
Advincula - Rodriguez - Ramos - Trauco
Tapia - Yotun
Carrillo - Cueva - Flores
Farfan
That's the rumoured lineup for today. Odd not to see Paolo Guerrero but if he's not match fit enough then fair enough.
Keep in mind Uruguay are slow tournament starters.
2016 Copa America - 1-3 loss vs Mexico
2015 Copa America - 1-0 win vs Jamaica
2014 World Cup - 1-3 loss vs Costa Rica
2013 Confederations Cup - 1-2 loss vs Spain
2011 Copa America - 1-1 draw vs Peru
2010 World Cup - 0-0 draw vs France
2007 Copa...
Its just as I feared. Uruguay deploying their shitty long ball tactics from the qualifiers. I get that historically thats how they like to play, but you could honestly do so much more with what you have.
Dire game so far.
He's good, but he doesn't fit into the style + Paolo Guerrero and Jefferson Farfan are better players. He's scored 30+ goals in Mexico the last 2 years, and he's carried the last 2 teams he's played for. There is just no room for him in the starting lineup. He'll only come on if we're really...
I just wanted to point fingers at Juan Antonio Pizzi. Saudi Arabia were likely going to lose tonight no matter what, but the tactical display was suicide. There was no cover for the attacking full backs and tried to play it from the back when throughout the match, it was seen that those...
Drew 0-0 with Sweden, thought we had a good game for the most part. I think the draw looked firmed on seeing how the second half started, but it wasn't a bad game. Just lacking in shots.
We are good enough to knock out Argentina if we get them. This version of the Albiceleste is flat and has a lot of players that go MIA. Its not a myth that they are carried by Messi, they genuinely are.
However, I still don't think we will. I think we will find ourselves in a similar situation...
It was quite a boring match in Peru's worst performance in 2 years. We had little iniative and never got out of first gear. Scotland's goalkeeper Archer made 2 mistakes that led to 2 goals. Scotland didn't even do that well to bunker down, we just played a lazy game.
Overall though I am happy...
Saudi Arabia are nowhere near as bad as some suggest. They aren't a good team, but I wouldn't call them second worst. Very fast paced and technical game they play, and the Saudi Arabian league is the best in the middle east, with local talent that actually knows how to play.
