*** Official Match Thread: Uruguay vs Costa Rica ***

[Billy the Fish]

Lots of empty seats! Piss poor really.

Absolutely tin pot from Brazil - a nation that supposedly loves football. That would never happen in Europe

Well that has been a thoroughly enjoyable 3 mins; I've never been a fan of Uruguay, even before Suarez.

 

[JOLovegrove]

We need them to hang on!

 

[Austrian Gull]

Lugano now goes into the game against us having to avoid a yellow card if he wants to play against Italy. Excellent.

Oh, nice goal!

Judging by how poor he's been tonight and for WBA (and PSG before that), I'm sure the Italians will be hoping he isn't suspended for their match!

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

Hope they had a 'GusCam'

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Wonder if Gus hes flounced out of the studio yet

 

[The Wizard]

Loving the commitment from the Costa Rica players, they want this big time. Let's hope England show us some of this hunger later.

 

[Bladders]

If they lose this the Uruguay coach might get sacked live on air!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Another amazing match, Uruguay really up against it now.

That Camball lad has got a shot on him

 

[Blackadder]

Could have been 3-1. Uruguay are all over the place.

 

[The Wizard]

That Campbell bloke is a top player, sign him up Sami

Just checked his wiki... He's been on loan from Arsenal last 3 seasons...

 

[Blackadder]

Sounds like Suarez isn't fit enough yet.

 

[1066familyman]

We could go the full English on Uruguay - pump high balls into big Ricky and he'll have a field day!

 

[Mr Smggles]

Can't work out what the best result from this is. A draw I guess?

That was nearly 20 years ago, its a different game and different world now. I don't remember there being any noticeably empty grounds at Germany 2006.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Camball is quality.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Uruguay are shit. Dunno why people were worried we got them.

The captain can't get in the WBA team
