Definitely some interesting lineup choices, but an absolute breakout game for Koné. A bit frustrating that les Rouges weren't able to see their lead out, but this is a very young group who will learn better game management as they go onward. There is a lot more confidence being shown onfield in taking on teams like Uruguay - they're not backing off from challenging the big names of the game anymore.

The truly weird thing from my perspective was that there didn't appear to be any ruling on the Uruguayan players going into the stands after their game against Colombia - CONMEBOL was "still investigating" this incident. @Elly, have you heard anything newer about this? My more cynical side could be lead to believe that CONMEBOL anticpated losing too much in revenue if one of their star sides wasn't able to field their big names. But that would really be cynical...
