Looks like Cavani got hurt, nice moment there seeing Ronaldo assist him off the field.
The field is ruining what should be a classic game.
Let’s hope so cause going out now would look bad.
Bungled at the end by Portugal and they are out.
Terrible field conditions and center ref sucked. Great game regardless.
Congrats Uruguay.
Putin should shoot the guy that manages the field, that was disgraceful, right at the end you could see two Portugal players slipping in the penalty area.
Yeah, that pitch was a mess. But I’ve played on much worse. :-D
Oh, soccer, hum ho.
I mean you’d expect better than that at the World Cup.
Indeed!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a useless post. Bye!
DBAP.
Thanks.
Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani scored a stunning brace to lead the South Americans to a 2-1 win over European champions Portugal in the World Cup round of 16 on Saturday and set up a quarter-final against France.
Agreed, except for that goal by Kroos who was desperate to right an earlier costly mistake, Germany was nothing near the quality we saw last night.

... The less clued-up reporters double check the player’s name on the team sheet: Luka Modric. Plays for Dinamo Zagreb. Definitely one to keep an eye on. Could be a serious talent and that is precisely what he became.
A little under 11 years on, Modric remains small and wiry but professionally he is now a giant: a four-times Champions League winner with Real Madrid and the captain of his country as they face Denmark on Sunday in their first World Cup last-16 tie in two decades.

Denis Cheryshev was the player Russia chose to appear at their press conference the day before the biggest football match in the country’s recent history, a last-16 encounter with Spain at their home Luzhniki Stadium, and it was not hard to guess why.
Cheryshev, quietly spoken and with a wry smile, has emerged as the unexpected star of the Russia team at the tournament, scoring two goals in the opening match against Saudi Arabia and another against Egypt. But his personal circumstances also lend his involvement against Spain extra spice. Cheryshev has lived in Spain since he was five, came through the Real Madrid academy and has dual Spanish and Russian nationality. On Saturday he answered most questions in flawless Spanish
Maybe Ronaldo is hoping Cavani joins Real Madrid next season.
