    Classic Colombia “good” performance. We miss a good 9 so so bad. We dominated that game and somehow ended up hanging on to a tie.

    When was the last time we produced a good winger? Pellistri and Brian Rodriguez are so underwhelming

    Not a bad result for Uruguay. One of the games I really think having Suarez come in as a super sub would have made a difference . Biela going to have to change some stuff up .

      We missed too many chances, and Nico did not play well at all in the first half and most of the second.

      I think the team that Bielsa is putting out is fine, and so are his tactics. If we finished at least half of our chances from the first half then we would have gone 2-0 before they scored their first.

    with tabarez we wouldn’t have been so defensively suspect. OTOH, with tabarez the team would have given up after 2-1

    I’m Uruguayan objectively we are lucky to get a point from Colombia. Valverde needs to play in the right winger position and Pellistri needs to be benched. I’m starting to understand why Manchester United doesn’t give him minutes. Pellistri needs to get his situation sorted out and go on loan and get regular playing time. Next Brian Rodriguez has no business in the national team. Maxi Araujo is much better and was much more effective when he came on as well as playing well during the other qualifying matches so far. Also Olivera from Napoli needs to start over Piquerez and Santiago Bueno from Wolves needs to start over Sebastian Caceres. The defense today apart from Ronald Araujo was very shaky and it looked like Colombia could have scored more goals if they had better finishing. Man I really hope Ocampo who came back from a knee injury with Cadiz last year can find his form again and be given a chance for the national team. Apart from Maxi Araujo the other wingers like Pellistri (needs to go out on loan and get regular minutes), Brian Rodriguez and Kike Olivera are simply not good enough.

    Our defense is garbage, our attack has the same problems as the last qualifiers and James being our best player says a lot of how disjointed we are as a team.

    Don’t get how a team can just switch off so much on the last minutes to throw away a win.
