Ja det tyndende lidt ud i feltet med Colombia og Portugals exit, så spørgsmålet om Ghana har fundet melodien , med sejre i de 2 sidste kampe, de var også rimeligt med mod Spanien.....

Hvor står Uruguay? Sejr over Nigeria er lidt af en præstation, men de er ikke til at blive kloge på efter deres nederlag til Kroatien. Premierenerver?

Fede López er naturligvis profilen, men ham PSV-angriberen kan også gøre ondt på spanierne inde i feltet.

Er der egentlig ikke en del af de spillere fra Uruguay på deres nuværende U-20 Hold, der var med til U-17 VM i 2011, hvor Uruguay nåede finalen?

Edit: Jeg kan få øje på 7 spillere i Uruguays trup, der også var med til at spille Uruguay i U-17 VM-Finalen i 2011.

TR1986

Yup de har en del gengangere fra U-17 VM,

med hensyn til kampen mod kroatien var det en kamp de skulle have vundet, spil og chancer taget i begtragtning.

jamen hvad har de... som nævnt Nicolas López (AS Roma), Ruben Bentancourt (PSV), Diego Rolan (x-Defensor , nu Bordeaux selfølgelig, GonzaloBueno (Nacional) i angrebet

forsvarspilleren Gustavo Varela 8Manchester United), Jose Gimenez (Atletico Madrid).

Midtbane tjaeh playmakeren Giorgian de Arrescaeta (Defensor) - frisparksskytte , SEbastian Cristoforo og Jim Morrison Varela (cooleste navn indenfor fodboldens verden, faderen var fan af the Doors), Diego Laxalt er vist skiftet til Inter, Gianni Rodriguez ( Benfica)....

puha, stadig mere end 2 timer til Botafogo - Figueirense.

Jim Morrison Varela

hehe, hvor er det fedt..

DEt virker til at TR1986´s Napoli og Bayern er interesseret...

Guillermo Varela: Everything You Need to Know About Manchester United´s Signing

BY DANIEL EDWARDS (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON JUNE 18, 2013

Despite having played less than 10 professional league matches, Uruguayan right back Guillermo Varela has already convinced Manchester United that he could have what it takes for the Premier League. The ex-Penarol youngster has signed s five-year deal with the Red Devils, whom he will join following the Under-20 World Cup.

The 20-year-old, according to BBC Sport, moved on an undisclosed fee to become David Moyes´ first signing at Old Trafford. But who is Varela, and why has he enjoyed such a swift move to one of Europe´s most illustrious institutions?

The Montevideo native came to prominence in January, representing his nation during the South American Youth Championships. The Celeste finished second in their group before taking third place overall behind Colombia and Paraguay, earning them a place in the World Cup this July while Argentina and Brazil faltered at the first stage.

Varela was a pillar in defence for the young Uruguayan effort, while further upfield attacking talents such as Diego Rolan and Roma´s Nicolas Lopez did the damage. That side also counted on the skills of Varela´s Penarol teammate, the fantastically named Jim Morrison Varela, anchoring the midfield.

While Lopez and Rolan gained all the plaudits in the opening stage, netting six and four goals respectively across the tournament (four and three in Group B), for the finals, Uruguay´s success came down to a watertight backline. Just three goals entered the Celeste net in their last five games, which meant the Rioplatense nation finished the final as the only unbeaten side.

Aside from being a solid presence at the back, Varela excels with the ball at his feet down the right wing.

He is an explosive wide defender in the best South American tradition, never afraid to burst through on the overlap.

From what we saw in the South American Championships, too, he has the crossing quality to match his athleticism, as witnessed with a terrific run that culminated in an assist for Gonzalo Bueno against Chile.

Manchester United have gained a reputation in recent years for entering into the South American transfer market in search of young gems. Rafael and Fabio Da Silva both joined in their teenage years, as did Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez, who signed from Universidad de Chile and impressed during 2012-13 on loan at Wigan.

Varela may have to be patient for his chances as he begins as understudy to Rafael on the right, who at 23 is hardly a veteran either. But if the Uruguayan can confirm the potential shown already at the World Cup and beyond, a glorious future beckons in English football.

puha, stadig mere end 2 timer til Botafogo - Figueirense.

og omtrent de samme til semifinalen, Atletico Mineiro - Newell´s Old Boys i copaen...

Sammen med den evigt kølige Jesús Corona fra Jalisco. Ligger så godt i munden...

Med de resterende hold i årets Copa Libertadores, så ser jeg helst Newells vinde den. Jeg er lidt mere til argentinsk fodbold, end til brasiliansk. Det har nok noget med mentalitet og spillestil at gøre. Atletico MG har dog et rigtig stærkt hold, så Newells skal spille op til sit bedste for at vinde.
