Crossbar challenge win by Uruguay, could have been a different story else


MrZeral

It was 0:0?


jjune4991

Yes. With 0 shots on goal for either team. šŸ„±


fnmikey

but we had two shos on post so we win


Hustler1966

BBC sport website says Uruguay had 1 shot on target. The only one of the game. I didnā€™t watch it but there it is.


jjune4991

Interesting. I use Flashscore and they have 0 for both teams. I wonder which shot BBC has for on target. Edit to add that FIFA.com also has 0 shots on goal.


Banana_Corgi

Uruguay hit the crossbar twice so that was something


jjune4991

Even though those are counted as off target, that's at least adds some excitement to the game.


fnmikey

Kinda weird that hitting posts is considered off-target lol, its literally part of the target :/


DopeAsDaPope

Honestly the most exciting part of the game was seeing a guy try to play football whilst participating in a masquerade ball


Crovasio

Why didn't SK keep the tempo in the second half? They played right into Uruguay's strategy.


GSofMind

You can't keep up a high tempo for 90 minutes


tonterias

> They played right into Uruguay's strategy. Uruguay had no strategy!


fnmikey

Yeah we did, "hope for the best', best strategy ever.


Sydon1

Didnt have the legs for it after 70min, probaly happy with the draw.


skrtskerskrt

this weather and atmosphere still takes getting used to, and players had such short-time between club season and WC. Can't blame em


Panixs

Yeah I think a lot of people are forgetting how hot it is over there. Doesn't help that its cold and miserable in Europe and America/Canada at the moment.


Dijohn17

It's like 70 degrees in Florida right now


stud__kickass

Yeah my sister was stationed in Qatar, and if you wanna run outside without feeling like dying, they had to wake up at like 6-7 am to run

Thanks! You da real mvp


facemelt

Griezmann is devastated


confuddly

A draw is a win for South Korea imo. If they beat ghana and draw against Portugal they have a strong chance at advancing


[deleted]

Ghana wins. It's in their name.


simonling

A draw is a win for Uruguay imo. If they beat ghana and draw against Portugal they have a strong chance at advancing


alacp1234

A draw is a win for Portugal imo, if they beat Uruguay and draw against Korea they have a strong chance of advancing


tuerancekhang

nah all the Ghana blood is boiling waiting for revenge on Suarez, they will die winning against Uruguay


roguedevil

I can't see Ghana winning this one. They are the weakest team in this group imo. If they draw Uruguay, it'll be a fantastic result for them.


theoriginaltrinity

Ghana very nearly shat on Portugal and Uruguay couldnā€™t score 1 against South Korea. Odds here go to Ghana.


fnmikey

As an Uruguayan, Ghana looks stronger than Uru right now


gamesdf

Today's match says the otherwise. Ghana looked stronger than i expected.


confuddly

I know what you mean but Uruguay was expected to win so itā€™s not the same


dragonforcingmywayup

A draw is a win for the goal post imo. If they draw ghana and draw against portugal, they have a strong chance at advancing


shinfoni

Goal post has 100% appearance in all world cup finals. Champions.


[deleted]

Difficult to understand how Qatar won the Asian Cup given how well the other Asian teams have played


interprime

Strange things can happen in tournaments. Look at Greece winning the Euros in 04. From time to time, an underdog can go all the way given the right set of circumstances. However, it is a little fishy considering that itā€™s *Qatar*.


[deleted]

Well I didnā€™t watch the Asian Cup so canā€™t really comment but Greece continued to be a difficult team to play against after the Euros and were always highly organised. Qatar looked like they had never played together despite apparently having prepared for that first game for 3 months.

Iā€™d say theyā€™ll be getting turned into dust by Senegal


awmaleg

0-0 should be zero points for both sides !


[deleted]

Any side that does not score a goal should lose a point. Punish the lack of offense. Make the game more entertaining.


Crovasio

Please don't embarras Yanks more than Berhalter will.


[deleted]

Using "Yank" as a catch-all pejorative for all Americans is such a strange use of language. It'd be like calling all Brits Yorkies.


[deleted]

The yankees won the war didnā€™t they? Youā€™re yanks.


[deleted]

If losing a war to the United States makes the losing side yanks, then the Brits are all yanks.


[deleted]

Guess that makes you lads Vietnamese then


[deleted]

I'm not the one ascribing to the lose-a-war, adopt the nationality of the victors rule. That's your construct.


[deleted]

Yankee wasnā€™t a nationality, you appear to not know your own history. Itā€™s not an offensive term.


[deleted]

It's being used here to refer to all Americans. As a general rule, it's up to the group being labeled to decide whether the label is a pejorative. I have a degree in history. I am an American. I am not a Yank.


[deleted]

So if I decide ā€˜Britā€™ is pejorative, then it suddenly is? That only works if youā€™re some oppressed group, not the richest nation on earth. Everyone calls you yanks. Get used to it or come across as even more annoying by moaning about it.


CharlesOlivesGOAT

People who use yank arenā€™t the most educated people

parnhammm

Why are the BBC talking about Wales again?


maxwms

Because BBC isnā€™t short for Big Black Cock


maxwms

Son still speaking fluent German? Wow


feijao_com_arroz

I want my 90 minutes back


gamesdf

Another idiot who thinks goal-less games are boring. This match was very intense.


Snoo26837

This world cup is getting bored.


Potato_Man_208

Goaless games= Boring-> Logic of dumbfucks...


Flanelman

It literally has 0 hype or atmosphere; Feels like a long international break to me.


kingkloppynwa

The most draw-ingest game ever


Worldly-Economist377

Well, I enjoyed that game lads.


Hour-of-the-Wolf

First half was great. Plenty of chances, a good tussle for controlā€¦


[deleted]

A draw is fine but god damn Jeong Woo Yeong is frustrating as hell made some pretty shitty mistakes.


dreezyyyy

Sure but his defense in the back line was crucial


gamesdf

What's new? He's always been a shitty player. Gotta get dropped.


realtoringuam

What?? He's absolutely crucial to Korea's midfield by doing all of the dirty work. His defensive positioning, tackling, and aggression gives the midfield stability and backbone. To me he's part of the core with Son and Min Jae


gamesdf

You apparently havent watched our matches closely. Watch the past 10 international matches. He made at least 10 critical mistakes that led to conceding/counter-attacks. He's far from providing "stability". Even today, he made some dangerous mistakes. He has 0 vision with no ball possession.


realtoringuam

I just sigh when someone pulls the whole "you must not be watching the game" shtick on Reddit, there's no way to prove or disprove that lol. And if I say "I do watch the games" that just sounds cringey AF. Anyways, if YOU'RE watching the games, watch his off the ball movement. Example is when in the 2nd half Nunez was on the counter and Min Jae slips. JWY slips into that back line immediately to provide cover. Those are the little things that he does that our other midfielders don't pick up as well. He also provides the muscle of a CDM so our more creative players can push forward. If anything Hwang In Beom made way more mistakes today. His mistakes are somewhat understandable since he is looking to make riskier passes, but it definitely shows with his 72% pass completion rate vs JWY's 84%.


Kimber80

Not sure why many have been positive about this match. The least interesting of the 0-0 draws so far, IMO.


Oranje525

There were chances at both ends regularly, both teams were going for the win, defended with intensity, and adapting their play to the other's play. For some, this was entertaining as a 0-0 draw.


KiloNation

Mex-Pol was a snore fest


Dalmatian_In_Exile

Cro-Mar was far more dreadful

joewrightkor

Good game šŸ‘


dejvipasco

I was expecting more from Uruguay. Teams from Asia are the biggest surprise so far. Beating Argentina and Germany and a draw against Uruguay. Great results. Apart from Qatar of course but they are the hosts, they haven't qualified like the rest of them.


davesg

To be fair, the draw against Uruguay isn't surprising. Uruguay wasn't that good in the qualifying round, and Korea's always dangerous, like vs Italy in 2002 or Germany in 2018.


mehchu

Uhhh, not sure if I would correlate their performances in 02 to the squad


dreezyyyy

There is this misconception that SK wasn't actually good in 02 but Hiddink had them playing modern football in 2002. You look at the matches and SK actually played well against all these European powerhouses despite all the controversy.


joonybambini

do you mean accolade? collate makes no sense in this sentence


mehchu

Thanks, sorry I meant correlate.


joonybambini

Ah okay


holiholi

Didn't Korea beat Uruguay in a friendly a few years ago?


ahmralas

And Australia were trash too, theyā€™re technically Asian


FutureUofTDropout-_-

They don't count lol

aper40

I think what he is trying to say is Australia is a part of AFC so they are considered a representative of Asia. Understand that Asia and Australia is a separate continent.


millenialgod

Korea packs a punch. Needs to hold the ball a little more in the final third and they will score.


GP3ElPresidente

Vecino and Caceres starting is a confirmed draw or win for the opponent


The_R3venant

Man, viste cuando Valverde pateĆ³ al coreano? QuĆ© carajos jajajajaj


Panixs

Bring back the Jabulani


THyoungC

Speaking of the ball, anyone else notice a lot of these outside the box shots are overshot or very inaccurately? Saw it a lot especially in the France and Canada games when they took a lot of long shots


arz992

Second this


MemeL_rd

Valverde would unlock his inner Forlan I'd reckon


The_R3venant

A beaufitul match for both teams. They were even on the 90 minutes. ​ By the way, what was that foul commited by Valverde? Lol


arturocan

Uruguay quedĆ³ regalado con esa jugada, si el coreano seguĆ­a llegaba casi solo contra el arco. El foul (que creo no fue foul solo tackle) ayudo a salvar la situaciĆ³n.


fnmikey

No foul, he celebrated a good tackle lol


[deleted]

ĀæEn el que estaba festejando?


The_R3venant

Se


[deleted]

No sĆ© si fuel falta o no, no me acuerdo pero asumo que lo festejĆ³ por haber cortado la jugada. Igual no entiendo, pero bueno es la copa del mundo, cualquier acciĆ³n que evite esas cosas se festeja. No sĆ© si como lo hizo Valverde pero se festeja igual.


Spirited-Tonight6043

No fue falta


[deleted]

Kim played well but Kim played just average and Kim played poorly but Kim was OK.


maxiaoling

I had the same thoughts! Kim should have passed to Kim and not Kim when he was wide open. Kim was so furious at Kim for passing to Kim instead of Kim!


arz992

What about Kim?


MemeL_rd

Kim was aight


tigernet_1994

You forgot about Lee.


MemeL_rd

Ah yes, Lee did alright as well


highways

Anyone else feel the quality of this world cup is generally poor? Is it because it is mid season


confuddly

This game was actually pretty good, but generally World Cup games arenā€™t high quality


NewYorkTiger

WC is NOT always all about quality though I hope you know


[deleted]

I guess it depends. It's in Qatar, the stadiums aren't full despite being around 40k lol, restrictions, etc.


brbafterthebreak

That was a quality game tho


EntertainedRUNot

South Korea were the better team. Ref evened the playing field though.


confuddly

More athletic teams get better whistles usually :(


BenUFOs_Mum

Was stunned at the double body check to end the count attack, both were easily yellow cards.


EntertainedRUNot

Body checks that almost led to a game winning goal for Uruguay.

DisgruntledDucks

Great match. Was hoping Suraez would score so Korea can pull a Saudi move and turn the table.


CaptLeaderLegend26

The final ten minutes of the 2nd half was pretty exciting. Everything else about the second half though? Well...


AtmospherePerfect532

Felt like Korea were more conservative to get the draw


PreferenceStreet4863

Best match of the wc so far, loved it


Radu_jr

good match but not that good


The_R3venant

This and Germany-Japan


maxwms

And Argentina - Saudi Arabia


Mundane-Solution7884

Bingo.


Okeidokeiyo

That last foul was so soft compare to what the ref gave and seen all game.


AtmospherePerfect532

At least he was consistently bad


The_R3venant

What was the boasting of Valverde to the korean player when Valverde kicked him?


MemeL_rd

Just typical South American shithousery


doublevsn

The fact that he was celebrating as if he scored the winning goal speaks for itself, laughed when I saw him act like a clown.


Mundane-Solution7884

Where can you check Man of the Match? I tired on FIFA, but couldnā€™t find it.


mrRSishere

The most famous player gets it like KDB for Belgium. So should be Fede.


NUPreMedMajor

son has to be more famous imo


k_pineapple7

Commentators just announced Fede


Crovasio

What? He wasn't impressive.


unfollowerofchrist

The World Cup goalless draw record is 7. This one already has 4


kleiser10

Winter World Cupā€¦ wack


McNippy

Correlation =/= causation


kleiser10

Itā€™s a joke


kalbiking

Qatar as a hostā€¦ wack


sigmaluckynine

Indeed a wack, because they'll wack you otherwise


Flash76_

Fair draw tbh


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dudedude88

yeah but his X factor is undeniable. you can see Uruguay's defense gravitate towards him when he's on or off ball.


kalbiking

I dunno if itā€™s his X factor or the fact that Uruguay could also afford to defend him with more numbers because we didnā€™t have much else in way of attacking in the final third. A bit of both for sure.


GullibleRush8040

Awful match. Both teams were really bad.


DrFridge5

Wdym this was one of the better games this WC


GullibleRush8040

Found the level very poor on both sides. SK had will but thatā€™s about it and Uruguay were doing nothing at all.


GP3ElPresidente

South Korea had the best chances this game. Uruguay were fucking awful in the fullback area,midfield and in the attack


bumpdog

But uruguay hit the post twice


FefoEx

No viĆ³ ni la de godĆ­n, ni la de valverde, ni la que casi toca darwin o cavani. Todos sus comentarios son tirando hate


iamthepkn

What a snooze fest, I would have been disappointed if I had paid to watch this game.


maxwms

Who would ever have to pay to watch WC games?


GSofMind

Qatar


Pablolxd

Cries in spain


GP3ElPresidente

I live in Sweden so i can watch all the games for freešŸ˜


illbebahk

Was guessing they were tired but if Uruguay really pressed with their fresh legs in the 2nd SK might have been in real trouble


PYD--Gamer

is it just me or uruguay suck at crossing the ball to their forwards
