MVP Diego Forlan
certainly dispelled
any notion about
the unpredictability
of the

His
spectacular

Uruguay
defying
odds to reach the
tournament’s semi
final.
As the fifth place finisher in South America
Uruguay won their proved to be the best kept
secret at the World Cup South Africa. They
defeated Costa Rica (concacaf 4th place team)
in a playoff series to reach the finals but won
their group at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Uruguay was a different team in South Africa.

created incredible goals to lead Uruguay to
unimaginable heights. Uruguay lost 3-2 against
Netherlands in the semi final and by the same
