I don't claim to be a tactical genius, but Midget Rojas on the post for corners?!?

He will, no doubt, astound us with superb vertical jumping that prove his hamstring"injury" was bollocks.

Well, what appears to be happening right now is that Uruguay are always thinking about two seconds quicker than we are.

When Marco gets the ball he's looking pretty good, although not really dangerous yet.

Yeah, he seems to be a "taking the wrong option" specialist.
Should emphasise that Uruguay would be at least 2-0 up except for lightning reflexes from Marinovic, for those not watching.Doloras2011-08-03 10:23:06

GAAAH make that 3-0! If I were Marinovic I would be whipping my defence with a wet towel at half-time. We are so lucky to still be in this.

someone in that midfield has to take responsibility for receiving the ball and starting the play. It's a problem at every level

Okay, I shudder to admit it, but Wynton Nutbar Rufer is right. Marinovic for Nix.

Neither team really settled yet and still too many wasteful long balls from NZ for my liking.

Super obvious in this game JD. All the backs are hoofing the ball long when there are free mid players to pass to. Frustrating.

Are Uruguay trying to foul Marco out of the game?

rufer may have some odd ideas but he's not an idiot.
We have a real problem on our left side. Rowe is receiving the ball standing still he does nothing other than ping long or slide to rojas wide, he ends up receiving without any space. Musa's distribution is non-existent so we have no outlet at all on that side and give it away cmpletely

Just what I was about to say. On another note, are Colombian vuvuzelas higher-pitched than the South African kind?

I would be surprised in anyone in midfield has completed more than 5 passes.

Yellow card for Lucas, who seems to be wearing Mr T's (or Toto's) haircut, and that's the first I've seen of Lucas all game.
The Spanish commentator says "Rumbo, compr� el arbitro", which I think means "a dive, the ref bought it".Doloras2011-08-03 10:37:25

I'm holding Marinovic to the same standards I hold myself, so any even vaguely competent goalkeeping gets a huge gold star.

Lucas does well when he drops off the front line, but no-one has the composure or wuality to get the ball into feet. it's only hppened once or twice but it's the closest we've come to strutured play.
Marinovic, brilliant goal keeping. I'll give you that one Doloras!
