[b]Round of 8:
Uruguay 3 x 1 South Korea
Argentina 1 x 2 Mexico
USA 2 X 0 Ghana
England 1 x 3 Germany
Netherlands 2 x 0 Slovakia
Paraguay 2 x 1 Japan
Brasil 3 x 1 Chile
Spain 2 x 3 Portugal[/b]
I don't see South Korea score against Uruguay.
Mexico haven't won against Argentina since 2004.
Brazil have on average scored more than 4 goals pr game against Chile in the last five years. You only have them at 3 with most of Chile's defense missing.
EDIT: in 6 matches.
Also Spain is better than Portugal.

What's the best way to beat Uruguay?
They can defend excellently as they showed against France, and if you give Forlan or Suarez some time on the ball you're asking for trouble. Tough team. Well played to them today.
Port Elizabeth sucks. Horrible pitch, poor turnout, and all that rain and it's one of the most boring cities in South Africa. It would be nice to see more games in Cape Town, but as one Capetonian restaurateur joked, those other cities need some tourism too.

forlan was poor today but a couple of classy finishes by suarez, can't see him returning to ajax next season. really enjoyed that match though, frustrating to watch at times after putting uruguay in my bet but thought they were much the better team over all (if not in that match).
end of the first half, ref looking right at it... that's a hand ball, a pen and a red card right? ref bottled it imo.
roll on uruguay to the semi finals 😀

Originally posted by hopscotchTheir defense was poor today, in my opinion. They do have a lot of firepower upfront and play well to their strengths, but I still think their defense is weak-ish.

Originally posted by Palynkai know you have to look at the attacks they've faced, or lack of it but over the 4 matches their defence has been pretty good. especially in midfield. chile vs uruguay would be some match.
