'Twas a dull match, overall. Uruguay were very good, defensively, with Pirlo and the forwards shut down. Uruguay were decent going forward, in comparison, but the Italians themselves were also decent, defensively, until they went down to 10 men.
Balotelli was shut down and didn't make much of an impact, which made Immobile ineffective, too. Marchisio was surprisingly lacking in influence and didn't do much for Italy himself, particularly in the final third. Verratti was Italy's best player, but what could he do if the attacking players weren't able to do much ahead of him?
Jose Maria Gimenez has been outstanding so far. He's done very well in central defence and looks like he could be an amazing defender in the future. At least Atletico Madrid have their future defence strong with Gimenez coming up and proving himself.
I'm not going to talk about the bite incident myself. All I will say is I hope that FIFA ban him for 20 matches at least. The Uruguayan FA should also give him a hefty punishment for doing this.
