World Cup Update with JP - July 5th

Related Topics: July 5, Uruguay, France

From where we are right now, we finally can see the finish line. As I write this from Nizhny Novgorod, we are here to call the quarter final game between Uruguay and France. Both of these teams are good enough in my opinion to win this World Cup, especially with the tournament losing some of the other potential favorites. France was actually among the 5 teams who I thought could win this, before the tournament started.

France is younger, built for both the present and the future, while with Uruguay, it's a team built more for right now with their better players like Suarez, Cavani, Muslera, Godin, etc.
