have we got some home cooking here?

I hope not...I took URU clean sheet/RSA Under 0.5 +151.

If the referee doesn't help out with some calls, I just don't see RSA crack that South-American defense. URU held France to almost zero scoring opportunities and their defense always has been their strongest part.
RSA was dominated by MEX in the 1st half of their opening match and although playing much better in the 2nd half, almost all of their scoring opportunities came after quick counter attacks, when MEX had opened up their defense. URU very seldom opens up there defense that much, that they get prone to counter attacks. They also have very physical defenders, who should dominate in the air, so long and high balls by RSA also shouldn't be much of a problem to URUs defense....
RSA in my opinion is lacking the playmaking abilities to crack a massive defense like URU and the physical style of play by URU probably will frustrate RSA at some point.
If I would be forced to bet, I'd bet on a 1:0 win by URU thanks to a quick counter attack started with a pass to Forlan, who then quickly starts URUs transition game, but I wouldn't be surprised by a scoreless tie...

I was impressed by their game against Mexico. You gotta look good at home. The best RSA can do here a tie. I am taking Uruguay pk -150. I passed on the first 2 games.

I need South Africa not to score any goals, have they been getting a lot of shots on goal?

They had exactly 0 real scoring chances so far :)
First 45min pretty much like I predicted: No playmaking abilities to crack up URUs defense and URU shutting them down completely. Just hope that URU keeps up that defensive effort.

no they've had two legit scoring opportunities and they didnt put either on goal. and when i saw legit i mean hard headers (so maybe not super legit chances)

LOL...two legit scoring chances? You must be counting that lazy 14m header shortly before ht, that went 3-4m wide with the goalie already being there. Hopefully it remains that way.

URU penalty kick and clear cut red card for RSAs goalie...that should do the trick.
