Egypt holding their own so far in a tight game after 35 mins...

Keown showing that he hasn't bothered doing any prep before this gig with his comments about offsides. If I was the producer I'd dock 10 percent off his fee.

Uruguay were getting lots of praise prior to the tournament

Have to say i'm very unimpressed

Yeoldhammer

Yawn...

Vorselaarhammer

Do I gather BBC have very much their C team on this game.... ;lol

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Tbf this game doesnt deserve the C team

Its been quite awful

Uruguay awful, no imagimation

Egypt probably happy with a point given Salah is still missing

Yeoldhammer

Neither team can cross a ball.

Neither team have any real quality in the final third to create a chance.

Vorselaarhammer

Shame but glad as I was thinking of taking a half to watch it...

In other news London Underground take note, the Moscow Tube is showing the games....

Aslef get on it mate....

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

This game just highlights the problem with a lot of international team, there isnt much balance

Uruguay started with 4 central midfielders, then brought on 2 more to change the game....they need wingers but if there arent any around there isnt much you can do about it

Cavani hits the post from a cracking freekick

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

And there you go

First bit of quality on the delivery

Thats all you need

1-0 Uruguay

MrsGrey

If Salah was fit I think it was a mistake not to play him. they could have beaten Uruguay and done a lot to secure progress in to the next round.

Talking about the elongated stands. You're so far away from the action, you wouldn't need binoculars, you'd need a telescope.

This is quite entertaining. Scenes and chaotic moments. ;wahoo

Yeoldhammer

its weird all of the countries so far look technically good on the ball, but the passing and crossing of the ball has being shocking, its the one thing i think European teams in general are good at is passing.

ASLEFshrugged

Both Iran and Morocco look better than Saudi Arabia or Russia. Championship rather than Div 2 or Div 1.

MrsGrey

I think I have jinxed it.

Hammerwombat

Expect 15 to 20 minutes of injury time. They do like a lay down every few minutes.

Giant_Hammer

Oh dear me, it's like watching the weebles play a subbuteo side. ;doh

jay_in_cpt

;handbag and all at the end.
Tonight's game should be the best so far, or have I jinxed it ;run
And Iran steal it at the end...

ASLEFshrugged

El Dowie?

MrsGrey

All academic as neither are going through.

SuzanneClaret

Fabulous finish by Costa ;clap

Por 1-1 Spn

SuzanneClaret

It’s a good game this.

MrsGrey

This is more like it!

SuzanneClaret

;wahoo

SuzanneClaret

Second goal for Ronaldo.

Taxi for DeGea ;doh

MrsGrey

Is he Greeno in disguise?

MrsGrey

Maybe he's concussed ;whistle
