Portugal will need the equalizer as early as possible in second half, otherwise they'll start running out of time.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
VAR should be renamed to SIBAP? (should it be a penalty?)
Its golden age, what do you know
Not Ballon D'or, but Fallon D'Floor
If Uruguay scores a 2nd it's game over.
Where is this ref from?
This is tight and cagey.
Proper knockout tie this .

Suarez. Ffs.
Is there a way both teams can get eliminated?

Really hope Portugal score early in the second half.
He does get an elbow in the neck
@antohan are you still around fella?
Positive thing imho is that Ronnie doesn't look frustrated yet.
Need Quaresma and Gelson on in the 2nd.
Is that Claudio Bravo in that Wish advert?
Yeah and went down holding his head.
Yet he holds his head. The ridiculous cnut
Good first half, important not to concede before HT
No, unless it's a penalty kick foul. VAR can't be used to review fouls that would only give a yellow card, hence regular dives aren't seen.
The referee can chose to still give a yellow though, as it happened to Ronaldo in the last game. But that decision was only reviewed because VAR thought it was a potential red card foul.
You don't always hold the exact place where you are hurt though.
Mexico
Nah the reaction to every foul has been so exaggerated. Waving yellows every time there’s the slightest contact. Glad the ref isn’t letting the players dictate to him what to do
He's from Mexico.
It looks like Uruguay will see the game out. Portugal are not strong enough in attack to trouble such a well drilled Unit.
Can’t see Portugal coming back
Uruguay defending very well
Uruguay defending very well
Liverpool fan in covering for Suarez over literally anything shocker.
Then retrospective yellow cards for diving have to be introduced, not sure if it is widespread or done at all
Other than Ronaldo, there's not a single world class player in Portugal's.
That is the main problem today for Portugal. He has been shite. Every time he has been tackled he loses it and does not win any tackle and just jogs around. They need to take him off if they are to win this game.
Jaio Mario is a terrible player really lazy with no great creative ability
True. When you're trying to cheat and con the ref you always hold your head
Uruguay looking much better here. Portugal no answer to the solid defence
-Uruguay defense have been pretty solid
-Portugal doesn't have anyone in the centre of the attack, either Ronaldo or Guedes are in the wings
-Portugal has Bernardo and Ronaldo as the only ones with enough creativity to do something in front of Uruguay bus
-Uruguay is wasting so many time

You got someone who heads the ball like Ronaldo and yet you refuse to send a cross over all half .
Even from a corner they took it short and lost the ball rather than cross it in . Shocking play from Portugal

With a ref who don’t take action against scum like Suárez then nothing is going to change. Uruguay is a team full of fighters but with rotten characters like him and and few others it’s easy to hate the whole team.
The very definition of a hospital passer.
Do the Uruguay players spend a lot of time pumping iron? They look like a group of bodybuilders who like to play football in their spare time.
Suarez is an embarrassment.
Uruguay are playing very well. They keep their shape and are difficult to break down. Probably the best-coached South American team.

One of the best today actually. I' not his biggest fan, but he has not been that bad.
