World Cup Uruguay World Cup 2022 guide: Key players, injuries, tactics & tournament prediction

waxik (29)in #uruguay • 2 years ago

Uruguay will always hold a special place in World Cup history. They hosted and won the very first tournament in 1930 and hold more titles than Spain and England, and as many as France and Argentina, despite a population today under 3.5 million people.

This century alone, they have produced some of the world's best goalscorers in Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan. Suarez and Cavani are still going even now, both well into their thirties, as is veteran centre-back Diego Godin and goalkeeper Fernando Muslera - all survivors from 2010 when La Celeste reached the semi-finals, albeit in controversial circumstances, and finished fourth.

But this Uruguay generation has a good blend of youth and experience, with plenty of those in the squad - like Manchester United talent Facundo Pellistri - in their early to mid-twenties.This is also the first time since since 2002 that Uruguay have been to a World Cup without legendary former manager Oscar Tabarez, who was finally let go last year because of poor results during qualifying. Former Inter Miami coach Diego Alonso is now the man in charge.

Group H has the potential to throw up one of the more tasty clashes of the first round when Uruguay meet Ghana for the first time since 2010. That previous encounter remains one of the World Cup's most infamous games, with Luis Suarez using his hands to block a certain Ghana winner at the very end of extra-time, Asamoah Gyan missing the subsequent penalty and then Uruguay prevailing in a shootout to deny Ghana a place in history as Africa's first ever semi-finalists.

Which Uruguay players are missing the World Cup through injury?
Uruguay haven't been forced to omit anyone major from the squad because of injury, although Edinson Cavani missed Valencia's last two games before the World Cup break began. Picking Ronald Araujo might also be gamble as the Barcelona defender has been out since undergoing thigh muscle surgery in September that looked like it would rule him out of contention here.

36-year-old Cristhian Stuani has missed out, despite a decent return for Girona in La Liga this season.Uruguay vs South Korea H2H record: Played 8, Won 6, Drawn 1, Lost 1
