uruguay football

Uruguay is one of the most successful national football sides around the globe, having won two World Cups, the Olympic Gold Medal twice in 1924 and 1928, the Copa América 14 times. Uruguay were the first Winners and hosts of the World Cup, defeating Argentina 4-2 in 1930. They also won the 1950 World Cup on Brazilian soil. However, Uruguay has failed to achieve the same type of success in the second half of the twentieth century and are no longer seen as a major powerhouse in world football at the international level. However they continue to produce exceptional individual talent, currently boasting the highest number of exports to the big European divisions, even outnumbering fellow football powerhouses Brazil and Argentina, quite a feat despite the country's population is a small amount of that of other nations in South America and the world.
