i think westwood should have done better with the goal.he sorted dived to the ground rather than coming out legs spread like the second half great save

------Goalie------
RB-----CB---CB----LB
Lawrence--McCarthy-Green--Fahey
----Long--Keogh----

I'm pretty sure this will be the formation.
Will find out soon enough.

Can't agree with you there (it's a habit) - they guy controlled well and had the perfect opportunity to shoot, all Westwood could was rush him and hope he fluffed it. Can't blame him much more more than any keeper for any ordinary goal they've ever conceded.

not according to sky and That's what goes with what trap was saying.fields sounds good there on Tele.

if you see when he anticipates the turn he didn't come out quick enough and when he came he dives backwards instead of sprawls himself out and covering the obvious right corner.

That's Clark's prospects banjaxed for sure.

**tricky_colour** · 29/03/2011, 6:57 PM

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good shot, was a bit of a rocket.

It's the easiest thing to say of any goalkeeper in hindsight - if he had of just dived a certain way, he'd have saved it. It's not that simple for goalkeeper just to make the right call when a player is ten yards from goal with an easy opportunity having just turned the defender. Westwood only had 1-2 seconds to react after Dunne was turned.

Played some nice stuff so far. Bit of outrageous skill from Clark. McCarthy looks super comfortable.

EDIT - Just typed that, soft goal. Not surprising if our defence take time to settle but that was far too easy. Can't make it out properly, was it O'Dea's man?

**SwanVsDalton** · 29/03/2011, 7:03 PM

And 1-1! Great ball from Lawrence, good finish. Great response. All off the back of some nice midfield work. I'm really enjoying our passing around the middle, though Uruguay do appear to be standing off us somewhat.

**SkStu** · 29/03/2011, 7:07 PM

go on the ShLong.

**paul_oshea** · 29/03/2011, 7:09 PM

odea caught out on 3 occasions.over the top,the goal and turned very easy.he looks so cumbersome and dozwy.oh wait he justified his selection against Macedonia so we don't need to worry

**tricky_colour** · 29/03/2011, 7:09 PM

Good header from Long shades of Nial Quinn.

**SkStu** · 29/03/2011, 7:10 PM

terrible defending for their second there.

**tricky_colour** · 29/03/2011, 7:10 PM

Could see that one coming he had far too much space.

**Maroon 7** · 29/03/2011, 7:11 PM

2-1 Uruguay

Uruguayan winger went past 3 players there awful easily before sliding in Cavani.
