Preview: Mexico v Uruguay

If both teams draw today, regardless what result between France and South Africa, Uruguay will top the group, followed by Mexico. However, Mexico would not want to finish as runner-up as they would most probably face Argentina in next round. Therefore we can still anticipating for both sides trying to win the match. Mexico has been very impressive with a solid defence and some through balls up front against France. But the Uruguay has defend well so far and has not concede a goal yet in this tournament. Forlan, Suarez and Cavani are always dangerous up front. I would predict a draw in this match.

Man to watch (Mexico): Rafael Marquez
As the holding midfield, he played really well against South Africa and France. He would be vital to stop any movement by Diego Forlan while provide some killer through balls up front.

Man to watch (Uruguay): Diego Forlan
Beyond doubt, Forlan has a magnificent world cup so far and would like to add on to his goal tally today. He is in hot form lately and was expected to cause plenty of problems for the Mexican defence.

Prediction: A 1-1 draw for both sides
