rudi Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Disagree. At least that's a proper national anthem. So what's so "proper" about the Uruguayan national anthem then,after all it's all about war,much the same as our's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 It's an embarassment and cringeworthy. I don't really like it, I don't sing it. But it's better than our own. The best national anthem is La Marseillaise by a mile. When I hear that, I cringe at Flower of Scotland. It's just so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 It's an embarassment and cringeworthy. Thankfully the true National Anthem has never been sung on numerous occasions by a washed-up folk singer who's out of time with the music and embarrassingly shouts "come on" in a Tourettes-stylee at the most inappropriate moments.

shaun.lawson Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Stats from Uruguay's opening games: Mexico v Uruguay Mexico 20 fouls, 2 yellow cards Uruguay 13 fouls, 1 yellow card Uruguay in Group A 0 goals conceded Opponents: 54 fouls, 7 yellow cards, 1 red card Uruguay: 36 fouls, 3 yellow cards, 1 red card This is the true Uruguay of old. The dirty, cynical Uruguay was a betrayal of a great tradition which belatedly is being recalled. Incidentally, for my money, the stat of the World Cup so far involves the deposed World Champions. Shots on target against Italy: six. Goals conceded by Italy: five. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Been very impressed with Park Chu Young in this tournament, albeit not much of a goalscorer but a technically good and hard working front man. I can imagine one of the teams in the lower half on the EPL taking a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it's more favoured by the extreme right, protestant extremists and Rangers fans it would seem. Anyway, Uruguy for this one I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Terrible game. I just hope "Urupish" can go even further in this tournament, AP. And that my "creepy, weird" obsession with them - an obsession now shared by LP - will be further vindicated. 99% of matches I've ever seen that have involved Uruguay have been dreadful. Apart from Senegal 3-3 Uruguay, the best game of the 2002 World Cup. Or the last two Copa America semi-finals, both between Brazil and Uruguay, which both went to penalties. Or Brazil 3-3 Uruguay in 2004. Or Ecuador 1-2 Uruguay - with the most dramatic finish imaginable - last year. Or South Africa 0-3 Uruguay, in which the latter were terrific. This game's been fine, I'd say. But Uruguay scored early, are very dangerous on the break, and it's up to a good Korean side to find a way through. Uruguay losing Godin isn't at all good for them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said 99% of matches I had seen. Not 99% of matches that they've ever played. I could pick 4 or 5 examples where Hearts matches under Csaba weren't completely and utterly pish. Doesn't mean they weren't in general a negative and boring team to watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own, Shaun. Does he not get paid for his obsession though? To show you there's no hard feelings here's a picture of Forlan's torso for you to stroke yourself over. Some prime Uruguayan meat. If I was going to choose a random nation to become obsessed with it would be the USA. Their progress over the next decade or so into a footballing super power will be very, very interesting. Korea dominating here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, my barber and someone else I know are both totally obsessed with Argentina and always have been; yet both are as British as they come. Getting pissed off with Uruguay now. They've totally lost control of midfield. Tabarez needs to change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
