The 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread #1/Sports Saturday Thread #1 For 6/26/10: Luis The Chief: Scintillating Suarez the Hero As Uruguay Tops South Korea In A Semi-Classic

What more else could you say .

Seriously, who else could it have been folks:

More to come on this wonderful match.
The Match Archive:
First, my bracket for who I thought would advance out of the Group. Clearly, the African teams let me down here big time.

Anyway, to today's 1st round of 16, and the lineups:

South Korea: Sung-Ryong, Young-Pyo, Jung-Soo, Yong-Hyung, Du-Ri, Jung-Woo, Sung-Yueng, Jae-Sung, Ji-Sung, Chung-Yong, Chu Young

Uruguay: Muslera, M.Pereira, Lugano, Godin, Fucile, A. Pereira, Perez, Rios, Forlan, Cavini, Suarez

1st half analysis:

Outstanding first half, where both teams are virtually even on possession:

The only difference is, of course, the defending.

A massive mistake by Lee Young Pyo and Yong-Hyung there to not even think that Suarez was there on the back post, leading to what separates these two quality times.

And Steve McMahammon was completely right. This field is terrible.
