Event Preview:
Uruguay
Uruguay is the first World Cup champion. In the history of Uruguay football, it has won 2 World Cup championships, 2 Olympic champions, and 15 Copa America champions. It is one of the only eight countries in the world to have won the World Cup championship. The most typical game was the 1950 World Cup, when Uruguay defeated the host Brazil team at the Maracana Stadium , smashing the Brazilian's first dream of a local world championship, and eliminating the host Argentina in the 2011 Copa America and eventually winning the Copa America championship.
In the last World Cup, Uruguay successfully qualified in the group and defeated Portugal in the quarterfinals. Unfortunately, he was eliminated by the final champion France in the quarterfinals. In this World Cup group stage, Uruguay is in the same group as South Korea, Portugal and Ghana. Portugal is still more skilled. Uruguay’s reality is to compete for the second place in the group. On the front line, Suarez and Cavani are still important attackers. Cavani has transferred to Valencia this season, and still maintains a relatively high goal efficiency. Currently, he has played in 7 games for Valencia, scoring 4 goals and giving 1 assist. His ability and experience are still very valuable.
Uruguay has the title of "Green Butcher". They have a tough style of play and fierce defense. They have also had brilliant results in the history of the World Cup. They won the championship twice in 1930 and 1950, and they are definitely "a great ancestor". In this World Cup, Uruguay strives to achieve further breakthroughs. Starting from June this year, Uruguay also warmed up in five friendly matches, winning three of which were worthy of recognition, and the team is slowly adjusting to its best form.

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the World Cup, the leader of the South Korean team, Son Heung-min, had to play with an injury, so it is obviously still unknown how his performance is.
