Walking the Path to glory

Monday, 09 July 07, 10:04 PM

It is the eve before  tommorows matchup between Uruguay and Brasil. The task before the Charrua's is daunting, but the odds can be surmounted, and must be. Now more than ever La Celeste must win to show the futbol world that we still are a good futbol nation and deserve the respect which these selections over the decades have earned for the small nation sandwiched between to futbol giants. Uruguay has the chance to beat Brasil and gain a major victory of which hasn't been since since the 95 copa or wc 50'. A  victory would avenge our loss in the finals at their hands in the 99 copa final. It seems as though where many seem to doubt Uruguay's abilitie's Brasil's seleccion seems to have a lot more respect for Uruguay's ability to win the big game, "

"There's no doubt this is the most difficult game to date," said midfielder Anderson. "It's a classic, Brazil are always favourites but this game is going to be complicated."

Saturday's 6-1 win over Chile in their quarter-final is not lulling the title holders into a false sense of security.

"The game against Uruguay will be different, Uruguay are not Chile," said midfielder Elano. "Uruguay are a good team who get better as the competition goes on." Reuters"

In the end the odds are against us but it seems like that's when La celeste are at their best. We have an opportunity to go into the finals against an Albiceleste team with great talent, in  a match up that would have greater implications than a Brasil v Argentina game. This woudl be a Rio de La Plata showdown for the lone spot at the top of the tournament win column. Celeste versus Albiceleste, tell me that wouldn't be the ultimate finally to what has been one of the greatest copa america's ever. If Uruguay can pull off the impossible like has in the past, it could regain it's position as a powerhouse of futbol in a small package, putting it self atop all nations in titles, will David be able to slay two Goliath's?  Vamo Uruguay, que La Celeste Puede.
