Italy looked exhausted in their last game. This is another 1pm k.o in northern Brazil. They've said they found the last one far more exhaustingly hot and humid than Manaus.
Think the schedule will get them - 2 x 1pm kick offs up north is bad luck (or deliberate )
I'd be delighted if Costa Rica and Italy go through and charmless Uruguay don't - but Suarez's knee problems seem to have been a little overstated!
The more European teams progress the better as far as I'm concerned, I really don't want South Americans dominating the tournament. Plus Suarez is a tosser (an even bigger one than Balotelli).
They did the same yesterday for the Brazil and Mexico games simulcast until just before ko. The sound quality was awful on itv4 for the Mexico game but seems a better today. Wonder if BBC will use same approach for their last group games.
Why does Suarez take the free-kicks for Uruguay? You would think being their most dangerous player that he'd be inside the box awaiting the delivery and not the man putting the ball in.
