World Cup: Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani predicts England fight
Thursday 19 June 2014 11:17, UK
Uruguay star Edinson Cavani insists that England will face a real fight when the two nations clash in Sao Paulo.
With both sides losing their opening games, defeat for either side on Thursday night would make qualification very difficult.
And Cavani believes that he and fit-again Luis Suarez will cause major problems for England.
“We are difficult to beat. We have strong character and personality and if you want to win against us you have to fight," he told The Sun.
