[Football] WC: Egypt v Uruguay

[MattBackHome]

I forgot about this stadium. Those shit seats on the Withdean style temporary stands outside the stadium look well shonky.

I absolutely love this stadium with the added bits. It's mental.

I would shit myself on the back row.

Indeed. Still, good job they have them. No idea how they'd contain this capacity crowd otherwise eh? Ahem...

 

[Stephen Seagull]

Why are there so many empty seats?

 

[Guinness Boy]

I have URU / MOR / ESP treble. @ 11/2

Me too

Did Jonathon Pearce say we beat West Brom 5-1 last season giving Hegarzi the run around. Was only half listening.

Those temporary stands are weird as well. Some people outside the stadium looking down and in, very odd. May need to find a picture.

Suarez hasn't quite got his teeth into this game yet.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Toothy misses a sitter.

 

[Pantani]

This game could do with a goal. Ideally for Egypt.

 

[Easy 10]

Word for word.

I have URU / MOR / ESP treble. @ 11/2

I also have on this game: URU win / Godin and Suarez to score / 3.5+ Egypt cards / 3.5+ Uru corners, at about 150/1 that is going to win me the BV £1m WC longest odds prize

Suarez should have had a goal, and Egypt should already have had a card for that herbert blatantly diving with no contact whatsoever. A proper ZAHA that was, can't believe the ref just told him to get up.

Crap so far

Are the VAR officials not looking at dives in this tournament?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Egypt oplaying some nice tidy stuff but without Salah they're totally bereft of end product. Can see them bringing him on because Uruguay look there for the taking at the moment.

 

[Beach Hut]

Uruguay look rubbish

 

[symyjym]

Uruguay are surprisingly toothless upfront.

 

[smillie's garden]

Egypt remind me of us when we played well against the big boys - keeping their shape well, but little end product. Is Mo playing with his shin pads just a psych out?

Jonathon Pearce just said - side seats were over 25,000 rubles, well out of the spending power of the football mad locals. FIFA make so much money form the sponsorship you would think the model would be to fill the stadium rather than make even more obscene profits.

Are the VAR officials not looking at dives in this tournament?

Yes, but only for gamechanging incidents. This was a dive outside the box - had it been inside and the ref awarded a pen, you'd think (hope) that the VAR would step in and overrule it.

It should have been a booking though regardless.

Crap game and I can see my treble going up in smoke in one match. Annoyingly every time Suarez gets the ball I get the name "Chewy Suarez" in my head as that's what my son calls him ALL the time - probably due to some youtuber or something.

In other news that font for the teams and players names is a shocker isn't it. A month of looking at that's going to do my swede in.
