Peru 2-0 up against 10 men Venezuela with 20 minutes to go. Looks like they'll be finished 3rd.

Uruguay looking good so far. Suarez scored a nice goal and Paraguay are very lucky that a very clear handball in the penalty area early on was ignored by the ref.

If this game finishes 11 v 11 I will be shocked.

Happy for Forlan, he deserve it. His long drought is finally over.
Uruguay 15th win is almost done. Paraguay is too toothless to comeback.

Yep, this is Uruguay's though this final is a little disappointing, but so has the whole competition but maybe it hasn't I said the same about SA last year and people rated that, maybe this is just modern football.

Bit of both for me. Paraguay defending their way to the Final, but the quality just hasn't been there for the most part.
Uruguay deserve to win this given that they've actually won a game to get there!

FT 3-0, Suarez & Forlan (2).
Most successful nation in South American football.

I guess Ms. Riquelme will just have to present us with an alternate gift like last time then...

Well done! Best team in SA in the last few years. Can't argue with facts: they went further in the last world cup than any other south american team and now won this
BTW, not many people realize but Uruguay is a pretty small country with about 3.5 million people but such a rich football tradition...
-------------------------
Forlan is now tied with Hector Scarone for most goal ever for Uruguay with 31.
Not the firts time Uruguay win the Copa in Argentina. Last time it happened in 1987, when their beat Maradona's team in the semis.

No excuses for the Scots not to win Euro 2012 then.

Ahha....
Anyone mentioned the 20 year old Sebastian Coates as CB? I think he has some potential, this kid will soon be signed by a bigger European club, I'm pretty sure.

Looks promising. He was heavily linked with us a year ago but nothing came out of it.

You'd imagine he'd be signed by the end of the window by a decent European club.
Uruguay really do have a good team. They won the competition fairly easily and Cavani barely played.

I'm sure Di Laurentiis threatened to neuter Tabarez's parents if Cavani played over 15 minutes a game.

three genaration has won this tournament Diego Forlan and his father, as well as his father has won Copa America.
Cavani is a great player but overrated.. Im glad that countrys like Venuzuela Uruguay and Paraguay that has been dominated by Brazil and Arentina came that far.

tbf we have a decent squad. I'm not sure about the regime, but our players are a little better than recent years. A lot of our players are in the EPL or SPL, occasionally Championship.
Not saying we'll win anything of course, Uruguay are blessed with a brilliant squad and some world class players. Just like Denmark were in 1992. And Greece were brilliant to win 2004.

They both are certified clowns of Serie A.
Both of their clubs have grown closer too after the sale of Cavani.

Could very well be.
Whenever they open their mouth, you are bound to hear, well, interesting things.

So, Alejandro Sabella appointed as the new Argentine NT coach. Will they ever learn? I don't get why they don't wanna call in some "real" coach?

Argentine Football Association is a rotten and corrupt body witth the same moron president, Julio Grondona, since 1979. He does whatever he wants, including hiring clowns and things like expanding the league to ridiculous proportions just to make sure that River will come back after only one season. They need to do some serious reforms in Argentinian football.

The thing I never understood is why either Hector Cuper or Carlos Bianchi did never crossed their/his mind for the National team. I think both, especially the letter, would have made some success.

I guess they never kissed Grondona's ass_ enough times.
