Uruguay vs Costa Rica

duffman13

Uruguay actually don't seem to give a toss here

Is it just me or is this world cup deadly so far?

CurryFlavoured

Can't believe this. No more betting this world cup.

Think it was a work permit issue. Costa Rica were outside the top 75(?) of Fifa rankings when he signed.

He was eligible last season but not before that. Think that was his 3rd season on loan since signing.

Delighted they've gone ahead.

Suarez not fit - would have been brought on if he was.

Uruguay's no. 16 and 17 remind me of the twins in Breaking Bad.

Going well for me so far. C'mon Costa Rica.



Saw them against Japan and Ireland, knew they had some goals in them if everything clicked. Hopefully they can hang on.

Didn't have the balls to take 33/1 when they were losing though.

LuckyLloyd

Campbell is fantastic!!

Kenjataimu

I'd say Costa Rica will get another one.

mike65

Crickey! This "kid" will shoot from any distance.

ctrl-alt-delete

Cracking effort that.

Mars Bar

Holy crap. I thought that was in!
Campbell has a serious shot on him.

KERSPLAT!

Close!

Al_Coholic

what an effort,i thought it had crept in.

CountyHurler

Diego Forlan off..... Or Diego Forlorn as I used to call him when he was with United... God, I was witty back then...

Will I Amnt

Jaysus, that was close, some effort.

Francie Barrett

Costa Rica are carving through Uruguay like butter.

So why is he on the bench then?

Jesus Campbell... Would ya stop with the lightening

Nuri Sahin

Was sure that was in.

LightningBlue

Second goal was offside...

That is a mental bet. You need help.

CurryFlavoured

Fair play Oat23.

Campbell's left foot is something else. When you see him line it up you just know it's going toward the far corner.

No idea. Not to play a meaningful part anyway as is becoming clear.

Why not. You don't leave people out of squads in world cups. You have the 11 starters and then the rest are on the bench.

LightningBlue

The whole squad is available. Its not an 18 man selection.

All squad players are named on the bench unless they are suspended

Can you hedge it somehow, couple of quid on a draw and Uruguay win?

Fair enough, but if he's not fit he should be just left out and not be in gear and doing warm ups etc.

Unless the coach is trying to keep opposition manager guessing.

Hedging is for noobs :pac:

When I am betting profit I don't care. This bet is 30% of what I profited on the Colombians earlier so I'm not bothered if it doesn't win in the end.

CurryFlavoured

Equaliser incoming. Costa Rica need Campbell to come up with something special on the break.

Tigerandahalf

Cavani has been real poor tonight.

Bring on Saurez!!!!!!!

Caught ridiculously offside a few times too

Making Ireland's 1-1 draw look good now

Please don't.

Suarez stays on the bench.

LightningBlue

Suarez won't be coming on.
Costa Rica will nick a third the way this is going.

LuckyLloyd

Campbell is absolutely fantastic. Performance against Utd in the CL not a fluke.

rwg

Thats Uruguay out of the world cup already - poor luis

Dempsey

Suarez was never going to be risked. He's there to soak up the atmosphere and be part of the group at this stage

citytillidie

Can't see why anyone is surprised by this Uruguay where awful for 2nd half of qualification if they had not had a good start would not have made they play off spot

Oat23

Uruguay need bigger jerseys or smaller nipples. It's disturbing.

LuckyLloyd

Thing is, Uruguay didn't breeze through qualifying. They didn't look great in the Confederations Cup. Players who had brilliant tournaments four years ago such as Lugano and Forlan are over. AND Suarez is injured.

Too much faith placed in them.

I expected it - couldnt win a game for love nor money with them in fifa14

but they will score...

Yeah Uruguay peaked for the Copa America in 2011. Since then forlan and lugano have declined massively and the loss of Suarez has left the squad threadbare.

Didn't expect Costa Rica to be so competitive. They'll give England a fright if they play like this.

The jerseys are clearly hampering the Uruguay players' movement. No wonder they're losing.

Mars Bar

That's an awful tackle
