With the headline "Suárez, please don't bite us!", the Russian journal kicked off their efforts to have local fans hyped for the tournament.
Regardless of their initial "joke", Sport Express admitted that the South American side has to be consideed the favorite to win the Group, due to the massive amount of quality among their players.
"The Uruguayans are the best team in the group, and should have an easy time winning it," the newspaper added.
Diego Godín and Edinson Cavani were praised by the local newspaper, which also added coach Oscar Tabarez's expertise in a competition such as the World Cup.
