If Saudi Arabia play like they did in the first match, it could be another heavy defeat for them against Uruguay who would feel they have a point to prove after scraping past Egypt.

They're not proving it so far.

I thought Uruguay would be better than this. I worry for them in the match against Russia.

I'm calling it now, a drab 0-0

 

Also, I only watched half of the game, but Ronaldo was absolute garbage. Honestly these days he either comes up a great goal or is absolutely terrible.

He doesn't have the pace anymore but because age doesn't effect your ability to take set plays and heading the ball he still has good stats. If you watch him he barely moves other than when the ball is really close!

Garbage lol. He's playing in average team and is literally carrying them this tournament. He'll get the golden boot with ease the way it's going.

One of the worst games of the World Cup so far between Uruguay and Saudi Arabia there.

He's still one behind Mr Og.

He carries the team, but he misses so many easy chances. They could be well out of sight if he didn't go full Ronaldo sometimes. He blasted a free kick in to a wall a couple of times and skied a shot he should have buried.

 

Argentina have the same problem as well. But at least Ronaldo can take a decent penalty.

Which is exactly my point, I didn't say he wasn't good only that he doesn't or can't play at full throttle any longer but his ability to score set pieces means he is still the centre of much of the goal scoring!

It looks like Uruguay will be winning this group! They'll most likely face Portugal in the next round.

All going pear-shaped for the hosts today. Now down to 10 men.

I needn't have been worried :D

Watching paint dry would have been more entertaining than watching Egypt Vs Saudi Arabia. It's no surprise now that these are the two teams going out of the World Cup from Group A, I thought Egypt would have made it through before the tournament started but they have been very uninspiring.

 

 

And now Saudi Arabia have scored in the last minute which means Egypt are bottom with no points.

I actually really enjoyed watching that match.:kink: Egypt were dreadful though, if Saudi Arabia could have actually finished they would have won that very comfortably.

I wanted Russia to win, Uruguay are just so dull to watch :(

 

Saudi Arabia won the other match, oh well done to them. Very disappointing from Egypt in this World Cup.

Saudi did it and claimed their first win at a World Cup since 1994. Wouldn't have thought they would after their first match.

I feel old that I remember that game!
