Wonder Goal by Uruguay!



Uruguay is good. At least when they want to be. For the first 15 minutes and the final 20 minutes, Uruguay looked like a dominating team. It was those middle 55 minutes that was so troubling. Apparently, they feel like they can turn on the offense whenever they want. They could against South Korea, but that's not going to hold up moving forward. Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan are the best attacking duo in the tournament so far, but the coach shouldn't press his luck.

So is Uruguay doomed by their coach's tactics? It's hard to be critical of someone who clearly is the second "most interesting man in the world." Luis Suarez had this to say about his coach:

"He once taught a german s hepherd to bark - in Russian."

"He once had an awkward moment - just to see how it feels."

"Bear hugs are what he gives bears."

So, it looks like he has the respect of his team.
