Just as I tipped yesterday France eased past Uruguay 2-0 to book their place in the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup! Uruguay felt the absence of their talisman, Cavani. Uruguay seemed to have lacked the spirit that characterised their performances throughout this tournament as France outplayed them in every part of the pitch. The…
Uruguay this morning confirmed that they will be without the main target man Edison Cavani when the meet France tomorrow. This news is a kick to the gut given Cavani’s prolific performance in the last 16 clash with Portugal. This will place more pressure on Suarez who now carries the hopes of a Nation on…
Two sublime finishes by Edison Cavani either side of a Pepe goal helped seal Uruguay’s spot in the quarterfinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Uruguay went ahead in the 6th minute, conceding their first goal since November 2017, but their spirit proved too much for Portugal as Uruguay quickly re-established their lead. Captain Ronaldo…
Uruguay secured maximum points in Group A and went through all three fixtures without conceding a goal, the first team to do so since Argentina did it in 1998. Suarez has been in great form and I expect him to carry that into the knockout stages as the business end of the tournament rolls in….
Just as I tipped Uruguay managed to beat Russia and also top Group A. Russia looked to be firing on all cylinders in their first two Group A matches. Uruguay on the other hand seemed to be stuck in first gear. However, when the chips were down Uruguay managed to kick into second gear and…
Uruguay and Russia face off in the final Group A game which will decide the winner of group. Uruguay have managed to win both games but have not yet shifted into second gear. On the other hand, Russia have found goals easy to come by, finding the net 8 times so far in their first…
A first half Luis Suarez goal was enough to secure all three points for Uruguay as they beat Saudi Arabia 1-0, just as I predicted. Despite coming away with all three points Tabarez will be disappointed that his team did not do any bettermanaging just three shots on target, while Saudi Arabia managed 2. Saudi…
Uruguay managed to grind out a win against Egypt who were without their talisman Mo Salah. This time they face a much easier task as they come up against Saudi Arabia, who will still be nursing their egos after their 5-0 drubbing by hosts Russia. There is no way Uruguay don’t win this match. Back…
Just as I tipped Uruguay beat Egypt 1-0 in their Group A fixture. Uruguay dominated for long periods and would have won by more if it wasn’t for El-Shenawy who put in a top class performance between the sticks, even denying Cavani a world class goal. Egypt will feel hard done by and will be…
The second match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup sees Egypt take on Uruguay in a match that could go some way to deciding the winner of Group A. Egypt’s morale will have been boosted by the return of Mo Salah to the squad but I do not think this will be enough to beat Uruguay’s…
