URUGUAY

Uruguay is one of the few countries that had some success in international tournaments like the World Cup. The country with no more than three million it had twice won the World Cup in the history of its participation in the World Cup in 1930 and 1950.

But Uruguay fame slowly began to fade. Post became world champion in 1950, the best result Uruguay ranked only fourth in the 1970 World Cup. The rest, six times they failed to qualify, and three times was always stopped in the first round of the tournament.

Oscar Tabarez was appointed as coach to fix squad juarai ever Copa America 14 times that much. Initial task is to get Tabarez La Celeste to South Africa. And El Maestro - a nickname Tabarez - managed to run it, although not very smooth.

Just like four years ago, Uruguay did not automatically qualify from the qualifying round and must melakoni playoff game. If their last Australian thwarted, this time Diego Forlan et al succeeded in winning the competition with the representatives of CONCACAF, Costa Rica by 2-1 aggregate victory.

Combination of young players and senior players such as Diego Lugano as well as several top players who compete in the major leagues of Europe like Forlan Uruguay deserve to make opponents wary. It is expected that the composition of the team is capable enough, to penetrate the Uruguay round of the first knockout in the last 20 years.
