Also now that FIFA and the refs have caught onto Suarez's diving, he and Uruguay are absolute rubbish now which is nice to see. Uruguay flopped in the Olympics and have now lost to Colombia and Argentina in WCQ 4-0 and 3-0 respectively (and drew Ecuador at home)
Since I was little, I've always had respect for Uruguay due to their tradition, small population and always fighting to the end. They were sort of like the Finland in hockey. I know England invented soccer, but Uruguay put the modern game on the world map nearly 100 years ago. But the last few years, the cheating and the diving have made them one of the more hated teams in the world which is a shame. Those players in the 1924 Olympics who brought artistry to soccer would be ashamed of the team now.
