It will be tough for Uruguay without Cavani. Really sucks that he’s out. I don’t think their counter can function without him.
But other than Ronaldo, they have the best single individual up top to have a chance of making a goal from nothing.
All of that to say I think it’s a win for Les Bleus. I’d say by two goals, but JMG and Godin are so freaking good and Uruguay so committed to defending and shithousing, they won’t throw bodies forward until the very, very end even if they are down.
I’m calling it 1-0 to France.
Enjoy the over-wrought prediction you didn’t ask for. Where else are you going to get this sort of shallow analysis for free (other than Fox)?
