France 0 Uruguay 0


 

Not exactly a great game of football. Both sides had a couple of chances to score but failed to take them. The only real talking point of the game was the red card handed out to Uruguayan substitute Nicolas Lodeiro after 81 minutes. He had received a yellow card for kicking the ball away only moments before a clumsy challenge on Bacary Sagna produced a second yeloow and then accompanying red card.

Things that I noticed during the game:

  • Mexico may stand a chance of progressing, even with their short goalkeeper.
  • South Africa also stand a chance, even with their lax defending
  • Argentina and Nigeria, the likely second round qualifiers from Group B, don't seem to have a lot to fear from Group A.
