Team Preview: Uruguay
Uruguay:
Fifa World Ranking: 17
Fixtures: Egypt 6/15, Saudi Arabia, 6/20, Russia 6/25
Key Player: Luis Suarez
Coach: Oscar Tabarez
Uruguay will come into this world cup looking to comfortably get through groups and put the Suarez debacle from 2014 behind them. With a very favorable draw with Uruguay easily the favorite to come top, expectations for the La Celeste are high as they hope to win their first World Cup since 1950. The key to this team is always the two up top (Cavani and Suarez) but really specifically Suarez. The talent Suarez possesses is unimaginable at times but sometimes his on field antics keep him from showing it. He has to put the embarrassing 2014 World cup behind him. "The bite" on Chellini was inexcusable but at that world cup he showed the positive he can bring to a side with a 2 goal performance against England. Really the key for this Uruguay side to make a successful run is to focus on playing and nothing else because the talent is there but the history of this team says they crumble under the pressure. But with the talent of Cavani and Suarez, and the work ethic the rest of the squad, this team has an infinite ceiling.
