Yeah he went there on loan. Leganes are a top flight team in Spain - their manager is the old Southampton manager Pellegrino

Ah, that old chestnut of a football saying.

I love it when a commentator says 'Their pressing is exemplary.'

Not quite as wordsmithy as 'On me ed, Nobbsy,' but still, right up there for sure.

Morocco should’ve won or drawn that. Portugal were hanging on by their finger tips. Decent atmosphere so far. Was loads here for the last game.

Just saw the replay of the Pepe incident. The guy is a complete embarrassment who should be banned for the next game at least. Absolute prat.

Saudi captain furious his player kicked that out for Suarez then. Rightly so, play to the whistle.

No where near as bad as the other night.
Plenty of possession and good passing but no urgency or real desire to make that telling pass.

Watching Uruguay match - very poor. One thing striking me is that the referee is letting the players kick seven bells out of each other (surprisingly the Saudis mainly at fault) but the ref is doing absolutely nothing about it. Not good for football.

If they can, then absolutely no reason they shouldn't. It just isn't on.

Uruguay look poor. 2 wins so far and maybe it's got something to do with the opposition but it doesn't look like they'll go very far.

Once in the knockout stages though, a tight defence and Suarez up front could see them grind through a round or two.

Suarez doesn't look sharp at all. Anybody but Sterling would have scored that one today.

He probably doesn't have to be overly sharp though.

Once in the knockouts, a few dead ball goals and 0-0 penalty shoot-out wins'll do. Is usually in the knockout stage the football goes diabolically negative at times anyway.
