Godin has been fantastic.
on the other hand Suarez is having a shocker.

Day 2: Portugal v Spain, Morocco v Iran and Egypt v Uruguay
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
That’s why WC 94 was best attended. Tickets prices not that much plus huge stadiums.
He'd be a short term solution at 32
Uruguay have been in decline for a while. They are now depending on old players and pure shit.
I'm all in mateDon't go that far
I'm as likely to root for Portugal as you are of voting Hilary Clinton.LVG-esque football from Uruguay...
Fake News. Best CAT tickets are $210 USD (Center). Lowest ones (available to Russian citizens and residents only), around $40 USD.Did they just say tickets are £300 each?!? No wonder the stadium is fecking empty
2-3 years is long enough in modern football. He's probably the best pure out and out defender playing these days.
I had heard they now have a creative midfield. Looks like that was greatly exaggerated. And with Suarez having a shocker they'll have to depend on a corner or free kick goal.
Just very well organized in general. Surprised the world
No after all the problems with Sporting and the fact Mendes is behind all this a lot of Portuguese want Portugal to lose all the games.
Uruguay relying on individual brilliance. Avergae going forward, their midfield is playing it safe all the time. Their crossing is United standard

Lot of sloppy passing here.
Egypt feel very standoffish at the back. Granted, they're not exactly having to press considering Uruguay lack ideas with the ball, but still giving them a lot of space.

The ref runs funny
Varela looking pretty handy.
Morocco Iran next 
Does the pitch look poor to anyone else? Ball moving at a snails pace on every pass.
Egypt might live to regret not getting ahead in this first half. Can see Uruguay coming out much stronger in the second half.
Uruguay relying on Godin to initiate attacks They need to do 2 or 3 subs, their midfield is a shambles
They need to do 2 or 3 subs, their midfield is a shamblesnot really a shocker at this point as he plays exactly the same for Barcelona for almost 2 seasons now, awful all-round play with occasional flashes of brilliance and a good scoring record as they create a lot for him.
So why all the empty seats?
EGY need to shoot from distance and hope for a clean shot or a deflection. Crossing or playing in the box isn’t working without Salah.

I'm sort of intrigued by it, no idea what to expect so might be surprisingly fun.Morocco Iran next
Boring game as expected.
Commentators acting like Uruguay are 4-0 down. They haven’t been that bad, Egypt were always gonna be tough to break down.

Slow, morbid, horrible, zombie football. It's like watching our team vs our team.
Yeah I noticed that. Ball has no zip to it
Splendid match so far. Much better that the dross yesterday. Egypt doing really well.
Been a terribly scrappy game. Gonna be won by a shit goal or a moment of magic as they say.
And that was in 1994, when the game was less popular in the U.S. Imagine these days.
I’m hoping it’s a cracker! Both teams will go full belt at it to get the win as it’s their best shot at 3 pts.
Splendidly dull
Never know, Ramadan just ended and it's Eid today so the teams could be up for a party. Eid could've been tomorrow which means we would've seen two fasting teams going at it instead.Morocco Iran next
Excellent. Bore them to death and escape with a point and will be very happy.
I watched a lot of goalless games but really good games to watch, the only time I don't like the game is if was my team.
I don't know man. He'll be 33 before the season is over and playing in the most demanding league in the world. Those should be his easy years, using his experience to preserve himself for as long as possible and not having to adapt to the rigours of a big new challenge. That's just how i see it.
Is Salah fit to play? Reckon he can make their defense sweat in the last 30 minutes.
I wonder if the manager will consider taking Suarez off for Maxi Gómez who's looked really promising at Celta Vigo this season just gone if he doesn't get into the game.
Let's hope so!
My thoughts going into that game, too.
Let's hope so!Watching Godin today, you can see how good he really is. Best defender in the world imo.
Fit but not 100% fit. I'll throw him in last 15 minutes if the result is still 0-0 by then. If they manage to score, I'll prefer to save him for the upcoming matches.
aye, but no flashes of brilliance so far. Losing the ball most often than not, slow to react, languid movement, donkey of a touch.. Let alone that miss..
