Don't get me wrong, I'm not that dim to not realise how incredible they are a shutting down every team that's come against them. The partnership between Godin and Giminez (why does everyone forget he's at Madrid too?) is something else. It precisely the reason why I picked them both for my FF. However, they're the team that are gonna get you on the break.
You guys seem to mis-understand me. I've no problem with a team sitting back and catching a team on the break. If it's done well and shuts down a team like they have done all tournament then let them do it. The central defence brought what they know from Madrid and continue to do it to as high a standard as you're ever go back see. It's going to take a pretty special team to break them down .
One thing I said to my friend after Portugal equalised was that they should play Uruguay at their own game. Play out the draw til pens and try and catch a win that way. That's as negative as you're gonna get but it would have worked I think.
Bilic said it perfectly last night. "It's not a game for kids to watch" and he was right. The damn mozart bus parking wankers.
