These teams who can't score should take a leaf out of Mexico's book and start leaving two or three guys up the pitch for the counter-attack. Less shuffling around in a 4-5-1 only to get beaten 1-0.

Portugal shouldn't scare anybody
mexico had joy bc germany had one defensive midfielder, a playmaker they could press and a right back who wanted to play CF. mexico could also shoot at the goal

Still true, 19 games in, that no losing team has scored via anything other than a set-piece / dead ball, which is weird.

just like in their previous match, you get the feeling Saudi-Arabia has played a little too much FIFA in their penthouses.

uruguay are the anti-morocco, doing nothing to good effect
― ogmor, Wednesday, 20 June 2018 16:17 (five years ago) link
Time to shut up shop for uruguay maybe. They shpuld be confident of keeping saudi out, and they're not going to match russia's goal difference in the remaining 20 minutes, so 1-0 is fine
― A Warning to the Karius (Bananaman Begins), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 16:30 (five years ago) link
Uruguay have lacked any creativity across both games tbh. I appreciate their objective is to score precisely one goal, and they’ve done it, but they haven’t been remotely impressive.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Wednesday, 20 June 2018 16:41 (five years ago) link
I'm at work so not seeing this but apparently Phil Neville has just said something along the lines of Uruguay fans not being too bothered about their style of play because "all they're interested in is seeing Uruguay progress further than they've ever been before".

portugal-uruguay would be perfect but it's doubtful uruguay's confidence will survive an encounter with the tournament's premier exponents of attacking football, russia

If Iran get something out of this game then the narrative for that final group match against Portugal is going to be off the scale. Queiroz could send them home.
Are these the first vuvus of the tournament by the way? I've kind of missed them.
