The Uruguay players seem to be wearing their shirts two sizes too small, which may be a good thing on ripped young sportsmen but can you imagine if it takes off in our pubs, town centres and seaside resorts?

I was just saying the same thing.
I also mentioned my disappointment at the looseness of the shorts. ( old lady perve alert)

Yes, some rather lovely, well defined torsos on show. A small consolation for the result.

Is it to stop opponents grabbing their shirt? Rugby did it a while ago.
Not just for the ladies. Oh no.

MrsBigginsPieShop · 19/06/2014 22:06

The Uruguay team all looked a bit beefier than the England team too. And one of them had cheekbones you could grate cheese on. Hmmm...

Oh and Yanbu. Uruguayian football team; yes to tight shirts, Brit beer monster belly - please no! Football shirts are hideous material enough without showing every spare inch

Its the style at the moment, taken from rugby. And yes, done to prevent opponents grabbing the shirt so easily. but allows for showing of hard abs too

BlackeyedSusan · 19/06/2014 22:08

me too. great on actual footballers...not so great on wobbly fans.

Just think at least a tight shirt is better than no shirt, which is often seen once the sun comes out, usually accessorised with a can of stella and a fag

I saw a young woman on the bus today with a similarly styled skin tight top. Even I did a double-take (no foundation garments!).

MrsWinnibago · 19/06/2014 22:23

Grin at "foundation garments"

It's not just Uruguay,seems to be a general trend.

Oh and thank goodness for long shorts. The 70s style really short shorts were awful.

KarinMurphy · 19/06/2014 23:35

It makes me think of this.

I think short shorts are the way to go. I won't have them disrespected. Bring 'em back.
