He's not starting for Uruguay v Colombia tonight.

 

Indeed he is not.

Colombia 1 up, fwiw.

I missed the start, is he on the bench?

He's definitely not on the pitch, so I have assumed so.

[doggface]

Yes on the bench.

cheers gents, lets hope he comes on and impresses or comes on and doesn't get crocked. Or doesn't come on at all. Perm any three of those and I'm happy.

 

Incidentally, I noticed part way through the first half that the commentator mentioned the blistering heat and how well the South Americans are used to coping with it. I just hope the UK weather isn't going to be too much of a shock to the Ramirez system...

Northern Italy has rotten winters, worse than ours. More the overall culture difference from a latin/southern european country would make more difference if anyting.

2-0 to Colombia.

[Hatch]

3-0 now.

 

Ramirez on.

 

its streamed on bet365 if anyone has an account with them

Side netting from GR, good run in on goal.

[MOSaint]

all over 4-0 Colombia. Uruguay were terrible.

 

Ramirez did OK when he come on, tried to make things happen. Some decent passes and good runs.

 

One thing that was impressive was the way he could keep control of the ball under physical pressure.

Agreed. He didnt have enough time to make any real impact on the game, but looked tidy and sharp. Tracked back well I thought.

[shurlock]

Gave the ball away once -dangerously outside his own box and was lucky the Colombian attacker didnt punish him; but otherwise was strong and tidy on the ball and if he wasn't beating people, was drawing fouls.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

But did he look off the pace? As Vickery is an expert on Gaston Ramirez (club and country) I expect he did.
