I said the matches from QF onwards are just a bonus. I guess they’re more than a bonus, will take anything 🙃

Might end up freestyling my understanding again, but UY is tough. Midfielders duel incoming and I’m here for it. Or a battle, I would say. We’ll see.

Actually, petition to the TV to put the previous 2 fancams somewhere online, because they were me-coded 😂

Here. we. go.

Found myself agreeing with oomfies several days ago that the defense dept would be tested here too because UY could take advantage of it, and bam.

That happened against the US but welp. Balancing btwn defense and offense, let’s see if my understanding headed that way too.

Another edition of me understanding “Tzarfati in his place.” 🙃 That means a likely UY chance…

And a friend said in another chat IL needs to be offensive and 'penetrate their lines.'

Not wrong. But defense dept now do sth please in the fk???

ABED 🤦‍♀️ That was too far!

Just saw ball possession stats. 29% - 21% - 50%. You go tiki taka mode now or what haha just please~

Idk for how many times I heard Tzarfati in his place again, omg this could be a counter-offensive contest right here~

From Roy Revivo to Abed, “it wasn’t strong enough” or somewhere along those lines, Halaili tried to catch that rebound but nope, it went too far.

Closest attempt so far? We move, anyways.

Wait did I hear somewhere along those lines of how if this was held here where I am?? 🙃

*back hiding 😂 teehee*

WAIT D. ANDERSON HAD THIS CHANCE, WOW. Tzarfati saved it. Brilliant after it was rebounded, taking that advantage.

Their 3rd corner (UY), but it's still contested near the penalty box as I type this...

So F. Diaz got a yellow card because of tackling Khalaili this hard…

ABED 🤦‍♀️
“It was a little bit stronger” yeah but the gk caught it so we move anyways.

“Too deep from Feingold” and got saved again. I need to know who created more chances and how many of them are on target…

DUARTE ANDERSON AGAIN. Omg, he’s been brilliant in these executions, I must say. The way he came up with these when UY’s going offensive… wow.

“Shibli tried to pass it but not accurate, Khalaili didn’t arrive either.” 🤦‍♀️

Passing, people, passing. Oh my goodness, I was close to freestyling~

So, we only got 1’ added time, and all of a sudden, the whistle was blown for the first half. IL 0-0 UY.

The line I understood turned out to be “everything is possible,” I love that optimism 🙃 well the ball is round so anything can happen hahaha but it’s been a tough half-

To me, it felt like whoever gets more offensive (and accurately so) could be rewarded in the next half, but maybe there could be sth like “taking it personally and scoring another goal” like last time hahahah I am here for the football so 😂

Idk anymore y’all hahahaha

With Ferrari in for UY (there’s one sub from their part), the second half is now underway.

Wait Uruguay going 4-1-2-3 now

Thank goodness Lemkin defended that well. We move.

Another occasion, another chance by D. Anderson (1/2)

Another occasion, another chance by D. Anderson (2/2)
“Anyway, a big luck” what kind of luck omg it was so close yet so far from UY’s part, they really are full-on offensive rn and I agree they dominated the start of the 2nd half-

An attempt to get through UY’s defense got IL a corner but not even close.

Another pass attempt when the ball went out, “not even precise enough.”

Fk for UY rn…

Phew thought I missed a goal or sth when I refreshed lol but we move it’s still 0-0 anyways. Maybe an on-target chance.

ANDERSON DUARTE OMG
3 goals in 6 matches

The price of them starting the offensive while the defense dept, idk what happened there lol but that had an amazing construction, admittedly, caught me off-guard.

IL 0-1 UY. 🙃

I did not expect this sub, but could be an interesting one.

OUT: Madmoun.
IN: Ran Binyamin.

To the former’s question: “Ofir, what are you doing?” 🙃
Maybe tactical, but w/ the entrance of Omer Senior earlier and now Ran 👀

Okay, this was interesting so UY got a corner.

This was what happened at the last corner…
…wait I forgot, how many spectators watched from the stadium again? 60K or I didn’t hear that properly lol

Roy Nawi in, Kancepolsky out 👀 (okay, they better increase their offensive capabilities with the current line-up, but defense do sth again pls)

Tzarfati with another save. Omg Uruguay’s been full-on, ngl. Fiery offensive.

Wait Anderson Duarte out?? I forgot who replaced him, I’m still intrigued though.

Fk for Uruguay, Nawi got a yellow card.
“Last 10’”…

OMER SENIOR WITH THAT SPRINT 🤦‍♀️ But it was saved before the ball went in.

They said it’s their biggest chance. Not wrong.

Lemkin! Another one that saved. Yeah, UY’s defense exactly impressed me that way too.

5’ added time, btw.

Or’s chance went too far away when him & Turgeman tried to sneak in to Uruguay’s defense once again 🤦‍♀️

“Anyway, there’ll still be a match on Sun, third place and the finals.” 🙃 noted, thank you.

AND URUGUAY ADVANCED TO THE FINALS! IL to the third place play-offs after UY won 1-0.

It was a close match, I have to admit. One defense dept oof moments, they took advantage of it (just like against the US). They did well, even having tons of potentials along the way too!

Next up will be either IT or KR. Now, who would have thought we’re seeing KR at this stage? Yep, I might need to think about the way they somehow have a deep talent pool, unimaginable that might result in their (senior) WC result last Dec.

Winner got UY, else got IL.

Anyway. Even getting to more than R16 is a bonus lol who would’ve thought they would get out of that tough group anyways 🙃 appearing in rds deeper than that is actually a blessing in itself 🙃 a blessing in disguise, I would say.

Should be interesting the next rds 👀
