FRANCE VS URUGUAY 2ND HALF LIVE WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS

The first half of this match was fairly open, but it seems as though each side was shaking off a bit of rust in the opening 20 minutes. There's been a few chances here and there, but a number of off-side decisions seem to be keeping both sides from carving out any premium chances. 

Most would say that France dominated the opening 45 minutes, and I wouldn't really disagree with you on the surface, however I thin that Uruguay have been the most threatening side. France should have scored when Govou had a clear shot at goal but they struggled a bit in the latter part of the half when attempting to get the ball to their strikers. 
Uruguay, on the other hand, have just Luis Suarez's positioning and timing to blame really, as he had a number of off-side calls in the first half. Forlan really should have scored with that neat effort of his midway through, and I think if he gets another chance like that he will more than likely bury it. 
The betting odds have shuffled around a bit with the draw priced at 2.5 with Ladbrokes and France still getting a slight edge at a 2.25 price. Uruguay to win outright pays 3.75 and I really think a tactical reshuffling will happen for each side at half-time as a win is such a big opportunity right now with the other group match drawing. 
France are even money to score next while Uruguay trade at 2.87. That price has trended down a bit and No goals in the match is now listed at a 3.75 price tag. 
Nicolas Anelka trades at 5.5 to score next while Diego Forlan is well-pried at 7.5. Franck Ribery has been a bit anonymous in the first half, but he's at 9.0 while Luis Suarez is just a step behind at 9.5. Sidney Govou has looked fairly lively and he's at 11.0. 
I think Uruguay will get about three good chances in the next half and they've have to bury one of them. France will probably start to push forward even more and they're leaving lots of space between their back line and the goalkeeper. Uruguay will look to exploit this and watch for a tactical substitution around the 55th minute from the South Americans as they will look to get the edge on a French side that looks to be operating at 80%.
