Well, Uruguay will almost certainly be without Suarez. I'd probably rather play them right now than Costa Rica. CR pretty easily beat a Suarez-less Uruguay.

Ehhh. I dunno. I do completely understand that thinking tho. Just from a talent standpoint, Uruguay is better in every position than Costa Rica. But, Costa Rica is really hot, so that could be troublesome. Cavani would scare me as a Colombian. But, nonetheless it is what it is. That game will be intense, just like chile brazil. South American, attacking will be awesome to watch

I'm just going by what I've seen in the tournament so far. Joel Campbell right now would scare me more than anybody outside of Suarez that Uruguay has. They just beat England and Italy, I would rather take my chances with a Uruguay that has difficulty scoring.
