VillaChris Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Uruguay have always set up like Atletico Madrid really. 4-4-2 but basically 4 CMs spread across to track opposition and basically mean Suarez and Cavani don't have to track back much. Got them some brilliant results in last 15 years under Tabarez, two last 16 exits and World cup SF and copa america win in 2011 so not bad for nation of 4m but now the best players in their team are all mid 30s.

The Fun Factory Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 So 8 teams go through from a 10 team group stage? Makes the euros look well organised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trouble with so few countries in South America. I'm a bit surprised they haven't got together with Central and North America to make a bigger competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always had two guests teams from other continents but Australia and Qatar pulled out so had to rejig everything. Fairly sure Spain were going to feature one year. Japan played in it in 1999.

Would Argentina/Brazil care? Probably not because they'd still qualify, but Mexico/US/Canada/Jamaica/Costa Rica/ Columbia/Uruguay/Chile/Peru would all have a much harder qualifying for tournaments as they would have to play each other and less slots would be open. Also probably more important: less money for everyone involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also probably more important: less money for everyone involved Based on the ways the Euros and World Cups are going they'd probably just combine it to be 16 teams or something and it might actually be worth more money to those involved. More games to sell, more advertising space to sell, bigger games (suddenly the US are playing Brazil and not Canada which might be more marketable - don't know how much of a rivalry a game like that currently has), more chances to tets themselves against quality opposition and try to improve themselves which might help during World Cups.
