    Great goal by Suarez. That touch to cut inside was sick.

    honestly thought he'd miss that chance the way he's played throughout.

    Without Cavani, too. Hopefully they can keep this up through 2014.

    Damn, that would've been a sick goal. Paraguay denied by the crossbar.

    Will Uruguay look significantly different come 2014? Forlan probably won't be on the team and Lugano will be 33 but should still be able to compete as a central defender. Any young studs coming up through the ranks to look out for?

    They have been really successful at the U-20 and U-17 levels recently and Suarez/Cavani are still going to be in their primes.

    Their other central defender in this tournament, Coates, is a young, future champions league club player and Diego Godin is still in his mid 20's.

    This team is set up to be a legit contender for the next cycle or 2. At this point, only Spain is clearly better, with Brazil(home team) and Germany likely to be the other top 4 favorites.

    Climbing up the all time list, though...

    Brazil

    I'd say

    Considering it is in South America, Uruguay certainly have to be up there. SA countries always come up big in SA WC's.

    Just looked it up, 6 times the WC has been held in South America or Mexico (I guess you can say 7 with the US), and every time a South American country has lifted the trophy.

    Yep. No doubt about it.

    But Lucas Leiva will be lifting the trophy.

    Batista got canned quick. Nice job costing him his job Tevez.
