That has been coming, Araújo equalises for Uruguay but is then substituted straight after, 1-1.

There were quite a few who were drinking when the Saudi Arabia goalkeeper went down.

Ah ok that must explain it.

I’m still trying to get my head around these hydration breaks.

Seven minutes of added time for either Saudi Arabia or Uruguay to find a winner.

Two pretty poor sides I think. Saudi Arabia did well when you consider how disastrous their preparation for this tournament has been.

I wonder if this could be a group where you can get through without winning, like in England’s group at the last Euros.

Actually I'm not that surprised given Arsenal's entire game plan that match 🤣

Or Ireland in 1990

Only 3 Meetings between Spain and Saudi Arabia:

07/09/2012- Spain 5-0 Saudi Arabia (Friendly)

29/05/2010- Spain 3-2 Saudi Arabia (Friendly)

23/06/2006- Saudi Arabia 0-1 Spain (World Cup)

When Cape Verde play Uruguay it will be the first time that these countries have played each other.

Saudi-Arabia needs this hydration break desperately. What a start for Spain into this game.

An very long VAR check and it remains 4-0 to Spain.

This was always coming after their first result they would be coming out firing and they have indeed.

Not me celebrating the disallowed goal cuz it meant I got my prediction correct

Very comfortable for Spain.
