Great match, well balanced and I think the right team came out on top. Congrats Uruguay!

Congrats to Uruguay, mad props to Luis Suarez, fantastic goals by him.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

I hope they get rid of the keeper (S Korea) A 5th grader couldve done better, what an emberassment to the game. How did he ever make the team? I would be pissed. S Korea showed heart and outplayed urugay but what can you do when you have an idiot in goal?

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

That was a fun match. Very entertaining. South Korea just couldn't find that final bit of quality. Good World Cup for them, nonetheless.

Congrats to Uruguay. Here's hoping we meet next round.

Grats Ururguay. Better side won, but I hope they learned to not sit back on one goal again. Sit on 2, but not 1. That could have easily cost them the match. I think their defense might be a little bit overrated. Lots of missed goal chances by Korea.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

Uruguay was ultimately the better side. When they weren't lazily sitting on a lead, that is.

South Korea fought hard, they definitely do not go home dishonored.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

Deserving win for Uruguay, though they really approached the second half poorly.

As for Korea, their defending has really been letting them down, they're fast, they can attack, but they just concede too many goals...

Did anyone notice suarez and PARK ji sung embrace at the end, and swap shirts?

does this mean he's going to man utd???

Good luck against Ghana, Uruguay!

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

They only have to beat USA/Ghana to get there so not that difficult anyway....

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

Uruguay can't stop playing the game for half an hour in the middle or they will not be advancing for sure. Game was about as heart pounding as I'd feared.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

Do you feel the necessity to make unheralded jabs? Let's keep this on Uruguay vs. SK, the Ghana U.S. match has yet to be played.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

A whole lot of pain
A whole lot of ice bags
But we are here
Uruguay is here


Top 8 baby!

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

THIS.

I know alot of uruguayan guys, they play hard, but its the only way they know how to play.

credit to them, they worked there asses' off today.

korea goes home, but with there pride and heads held high no doubt.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

I don't really think the first goal is SK keeper's fault. The defenders left a too big hole for Forlan to slot the ball in. An indecisive moment, and Suarez's job was easy

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

well done uruguay, it was a great game.
the only negative point was the referee he sucked

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

the only fear i have for uruguay is tabarez. if they had really gone for the second goal, they could have demolished korea, although there was a one vs. one break away and a clear penalty disallowed, they should have kept going...

why would you sit back with forlan, suarez, and cavani?

as soon as he put lodeiro on the match changed... what an idiot tabarez.... suarez bailed you out.

i hope uruguay keeps going, but the coach could cost them

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

Do you feel the necessity to be offended at a little comment like that?

Anyhow, back to the game talk.

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

Ururguay played well enough to win. South Korea can be proud of there teams play. Ururguay's GK almost had a big 2nd miscue.
Suarez is in the 'Golden Boot' running. His Ajax goals may not be so 'weak' now?

 

Re: Match 49 (R16) - Ururguay v South Korea - Post-Match Thread [R]

I couldn't agree more. Our veteran keeper Lee Woon Jae who famously saved the penalty against Joaquin in 2002 QF was sitting on the bench. I have no doubt on my mind he would of saved that pathetic cross.
