One Saudi player got a tattoo against his club's wishes but he still got it and it ended up getting infected so he missed games lmaooo

Not watching the game so maybe there's also a Saudi one, but that was Varela, the Uruguayan Man United right back loaned to Eintracht Frankfurt

by Nishankly Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:06 pm

Makes it even funnier if he plays in Germany Laughing

by Hapless_Hans Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:09 pm

He used to until he did that. Eintracht suspended him, basically kicked him out and he never played for them again.

Saudi's playing better than Egypt played against Uruguay TBH

by zigra Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:16 pm

Uff, Uruguay performance is absolutely disgusting.

by Jay29 Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:21 pm

Uruguay have such a good spine but have so little quality or pace out wide. I feel like we won't see their real quality until they play better opposition.

Again especially with Russia its so possible Very Happy

Football and WCs have always been rumoured and sometimes known to be fixed, its depressing but it exists.

Im still on the lookout for Russia and continue to see how much they can keep their amazing performances up Razz

I can't decide which team is more boring between Portugal and Uruguay. Hope they both get knocked out asap

by Myesyats Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:44 pm

Uruguay is all over the place. Unpleasant to watch

They both could meet each other in the knockouts Laughing

One of these teams will be in the quarters for sure imo.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed Jun 20, 2018 6:12 pm

Uruguay look very disjointed imo, I have more faith in Portugal tbh who look more fluid systematically but atm most of their offensive players are underperforming.

Uruguay on the other hand imo look to have no rhyme or reason to what they want to achieve.

by Unique Wed Jun 20, 2018 6:29 pm

its a spin up on who is more boring to watch. manure or Uruguay

by BusterLfc Wed Jun 20, 2018 6:46 pm

Uruguay are better against stronger sides, they enjoy to sit back as they have a great defence, and it's Uruguay after all, they always scrap through matches and go deep into the tournament, they are like Portugal 2016 or Italy Laughing

by BusterLfc Wed Jun 20, 2018 8:57 pm

You can expect Uruguay to win 1-0 whether it is vs Argentina or vs San Marino Laughing

, they always played like Atletico and Italy. I think they will go through with a boring win over at least 1 good attacking side in the knockouts, I'm calling it now. If we get Uruguay-Portugal it will basically be a replay of Mourinho's Chelsea vs Atletico a few seasons ago Laughing
