Uruguay vs Skorea

We went to my sister and brother-in-law's for a BBQ. I drank a fair amount of Argentinian and Peruvian lager, so while I watched the game, I didn't really pay attention.

1) I thought Suarez was a perfect fit for the "South American doing great in a minor European league who shows up and does fuck all". In fact, he's "a really great finisher". I was wrong, then. Great finish for the winner.

2) Skorea attacked fairly dangerously, and the lad at Bolton had a decent enough game. They really shouldn't have brought on Lee Dong Gook though; the chance he got at the end was so reminiscent of his games at Boro, where every time on Match of the Day he would get a chance in the inside right channel and fail to score.

3) Skorea have improved again, and if they can get more of their players into Europe, I wouldn't bet on them becoming regular last 16 contenders. They had a good tournament.

4) Uruguay's quarter final will be compelling. They are not a great side, but Forlan and Suarez are fairly lethal, and Cavani looks like a decent worker alongside: able to play right up front and also drop off or pull wide.
