Yeah Uruguay out was a surprise now they got a new squad so not sure how that is but but with a coach like Bielsa they should have finished atleast 2nd
But atleast people will recognise Capo verde and the goalkeeper, the smaller teams and I am sure the goalkeeper's life will be set after the heroics as this will probably be his last world cup
It's amazing and it makes you think and wonder there are these small nations around and the endless possibilities
I also used to believe that Bielsa is great (I mean, when Pep and Poch refer to you as their mentor you must be good, right?), but I'm not sure anymore as I've not seen any tactical masterclass from Bielsa lately (in the last 10 years let's say...)
I'm starting to believe what the naysayers are saying, that all Bielsa has got is make his players be 100% fit for 90 minutes, and that's pretty much it. Besides making his players run like robots for 90 minutes he's never won a trophy in his entire life (I didn't check this, but that's what I've heard), so - no matter how great of a coach / manager you are - if you have no trophy to show for it... well, I guess you're not a great manager then
Some coaches simply fail to adapt to new times and tactics, and today's name of the game is possession and efficiency, 2 things that I've not seen any of Bielsa's teams of the last decade have, so I guess that the rumors are true that he's washed...
And yeah, the Cape Verde goalie (Vozinha I believe is his name) is a legend, and not only in his country. I watched the entire game against Spain and was really impressed by the saves he's made. It's true that Spain have also missed a few clear chances, but hey, you can only play what's in front of you, so... props to Vozinha
Not to mention that Neuer (or Muslera since we're on the topic of Uruguay) would've let a few of those saves in... actually, Muslera just let one in, few days ago against Spain, so yeah... Vozinha ftw
