“With Vini Junior suspended,“The only No. 7 on the pitch is Uruguay’s Nicolas de la Cruz,” Peter Oh wrote, “and there’s no 77 to fit into the Las Vegas-style 777. For reference, Araujo’s 20 beats Brazil at blackjack.”

Rob will be here shortly, in the meantime here’s a quick preview of tonight’s match from Reuters.
Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa has urged his team to be determined to dominate when they face Brazil.
Uruguay, who topped Group C after winning all three of their group stage matches and scoring eight goals, are hoping to reach the semi-finals and their coach will be hoping to implement his high-pressing, attacking style against Brazil.
“Usually I focus on which sector of the pitch to play in, how to win the ball back, if and how to threaten the opponent and if the way we structure the attack is the style I want my team to play,” Bielsa said in a press conference on Friday.
The manager also said the absence of suspended Vinicius Junior from the Brazil national team would not be a problem for the team’s strategy, describing the player as the best winger in the world.
“Personally, I don’t think his absence will affect us. Brazil is a country with a lot of wingers at both ends of the pitch right now, playing for the big teams around the world. Endric, Brazil’s understudy, will not be easy to neutralise in Vinicius’ absence.”
Bielsa, who missed the 1-0 win over the United States due to a suspension from the South American Football Confederation, added that his absence made no difference as the opposition only threatened in the final 10 minutes. “If I had been on the pitch the result wouldn’t have been better.”
