Jezza Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Good game so far. Fancy Uruguay to win 2 or 3 here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Lawrenson's doing my nut in already. "Cavani a man short on confidence, how many has he scored this season" Just the 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 1-0 Uruguay. Lawro showing his ignorance again? I am surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 And that's 1-1. Not really paying much attention to this game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Forlan is some player. All over the pitch now, spraying incredible passes and that goal to top it off. Yet they always have to mention how it didn't work out for him at Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they always have to mention how it didn't work out for him at Man Utd. He's been flat out terrible for Uruguay for 2 years. Just having a decent game tonight, that's all. He's not the answer though, and Uruguay will get nowhere until they replace him with a genuine number 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only him and Francescoli had been around at the peak of both of their powers. And of course Montero to terrify people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only him and Francescoli had been around at the peak of both of their powers. And of course Montero to terrify people. Here's the thing about Francescoli though. What major clubs did he play for in Europe? And on the greatest stage of all - the World Cup - what did he do for Uruguay either? I see him as a beautiful player, but who could be counted on to under-achieve when it most mattered. A lot of Uruguayan players fell into that bracket: Recoba and Sosa were other examples. I also have a particular dislike for Francescoli because he played a huge role in bringing the hideous Paco Casal - the man who makes Rupert Murdoch look like Mother Teresa - into Uruguayan football. Casal ended up more or less controlling the entire sport here: he's a super-agent who owns Tenfield, VTV and GolTV, probably played some sort of role in the Calciopoli scandal in Italy, tells Uruguayan coaches what players to pick for the national team (which has often resulted in dreadful cliques), and is just not to be messed with. After my arrival here, when I told my boss about my book plans, and that this would obviously involve me writing about Casal, she said "Shaun - for God's sake don't. You'll wind up dead". That's the kind of guy he is; and Enzo is best buddies with him. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 What's J Pearce's chat about Lugano being subbed about? He's claiming injury, and suspended for the next match, so they're looking to get his replacement for the weekend game on. He says it would be a monumental moment in contemporary Uruguayan football history. Wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Johnson Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Two Nigerian boys rolling around pretending to be injured looking for free kicks and Lawro's all concerned that they're hurt. That'll be the same reaction you had when the Uruguayan player was down, aye? I suppose he is South American so obviously must have been diving. The BBC employ this man.

Alan Johnson Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 It's almost like Lawro feels that Cavani is personally insulting him by wanting to go to a French or Spanish team rather than THE GREATEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
