What happened in 2nd half from referee toward Uruguay as I didn't see any thing from 2nd half

There are two possible penalties. One on Nuñez that the referee watched on VAR and didn't give it. The other one on Cavani. To me the first one was nothing, the Cavani one is 50/50. He crosses the leg on purpose, but there is a clear contact from the defender. It's up to the referees decision. The thing is that in the same match he gave a non existent penalty to Ghana watching on VAR, so the reactions from uruguayans is understandable. Also with the questionable penalty on the Portugal match.

How come so many people dislike Uruguay here?

 

Don't tell me it's because of that hand against Ghana. That was perfectly valid in my book.

I think it's because Suarez is a douchebag, but I don't hate him because of the hand thing. I would have done the same. Ghana had the chance for a penalty and missed it. Not his problem.

How on earth is being totally useless as a team a sign of poor sportmanship? Portugal just did what they usually do, overestimate the opponent that is supposed to be weaker and end up loosing.

 

This happened before. Usually followed by straight elimination on the next round.

Spain intentionally did what they did so my point mainly reflects on them.

I dont think that Portugal was trying at all to beat Korean team. I see it like that.

In my sense of sport ethics, you dont calculate, you dont avoid opponents, you dont play like Portugal did. You are winning WC cause you are best, not by manipulations. Ok, i probably overreacted as i am Uruguay fan too, but i still think that Portugal didnt do anything to actually win.

Serbia main problem is defense
