We need to beat Ecuador so badly. We have 11 players with a yellow card and if the last game is a must-win (against Argentina, no less) we will start the WC (hopefully) with half a squad. We also need Ecuador to forget the things we've done to their team so they don't kill our players or something. I'm sure Oscar "loving" Tabárez will start Lugano, who has played superbly during the 6 minutes total he has played for West Brom since he joined them. If only Venezuela could tie/lose their game, I'm pretty sure we could beat Jordan in the playoffs. There's no enjoyment in Uruguayan football, only suffering.

I'm actually really looking forward to the qualifiers for once. I have no delusions about Poland qualifying, but nothing will make me happier than denying England a place in the World Cup (again). It's been too long.

Horrible place to go. I dont think theyve lost there in the whole of the qualifying

I dont think theyve lost there in the whole of the qualifying We beat them in Quito the last time we played, but you are right, their worst result at home this time was a tie against Argentina. Height and hot weather are terrible for us so I'm not getting my hopes up. We can always count on the corruption of CONMEBOL and its Uruguayan president  El Hefe posted:The only reason I have directv is because of football and formula 1, once you watch games and races in HD you can't go back to lovely Chinese streams. But I could watch all that in HD on my cable and then loving DirecTV came and now I can only watch baseball and American Football, or even worse Uruguayan football. Gonna switch to DirecTV when my contract is up.

I wish there was a way to send only 2 teams from COMMEBOL this time, all the other ones are CONCACAF quality.

Yeah, which teams would you send instead? I don't think there's many teams that would improve the quality of the tournament outside the already qualified. Anyway, except for Uruguay, I think every team in the CONMEBOL top 5 (and Brazil) would walk the CONCACAF qualys. Uruguay might scrape a playoff place.

They should mix up the qualifiers a bit more imo, like every cycle pick a few teams from each federation and swap them round.

Uruguay will look good in the WC, it's just a shame that they got there by playing as bad as possible, and there's no way that Colombia or Ecuador don't get sent back home with a -5 GD. Basically, I wish that Venezuela could have pulled it off.

Playing as bad as possible has been our style since I can remember. We don't have the means to play well. In such a small pool of players as we have it's pretty hard to find people who are good with the ball and can also run for 90 minutes like headless chickens, so we pick the guys who can run. Also need to add that the players Tabarez thinks are not part of "the process" are not given a place. The biggest example of this is Napoli's Britos who wasn't called even when all our defence was suspended or injured and players from the U-20 got the call instead. Colombia will do alright, I think. Ecuador are gonna get hosed, but so would Venezuela and I kinda hate Venezuela lately so gently caress them.

Yes it is, we would be hosed without them creating goals out of nothing at all. Can't complain about them at all, especially about Cavani who has accepted being played out of position all the time and always works hard. edit: it just downed on me that I complain about Cavani all the time. Welp, he can be terrible some times so I think it's justified
