Profile

Very few football nations have a finer tradition than Uruguay. The two FIFA World Cup triumphs - at home in 1930 and then famously in Brazil in 1950 - were long ago now, but the Celeste have competed in eight further finals. They also reached the semi-finals in 1954 and 1970, and though they have reached the second round twice since, they have hardly been inspirational. In fact, Uruguay have won just one of their last 16 FIFA World Cup matches.
