I'd say the winners of A get the easier half. And they'll avoid Spain in the R16 (imo anyway)

Edit: I'm talking bollox, you're right they are in the easier half now, maybe I need a drink...

It would’ve been far too obvious if they smashed Uruguay. No need to be greedy.

Need to get their average distance covered and number of sprints per game down

Nah. I think it was obvious they were going to lose the minute they met a country with a better human rights record than them.

From your BBC:

Torreira running the middle

Uruguay 2-0 Russia

Uruguay will be pleased Lucas Torreira was able to get straight back onto the pitch after he went down holding his calf.

He's been influential for them in midfield today, completing 46 passes with a 94% success rate so far in this game.
