Group A - Uruguay

The first ever winners of the World Cup, Uruguay, are in a tough group for them, and are bound to go out at the first hurdle. Even with some world-class strikers, the defence doesn't hold up, and against the likes of South Africa, Mexico and France, could find themselves on the end of a major whitewash.

Capital City: Montevideo
Captain: Diego Lugano
Manager: Oscar Tabarez
Star Man: Diego Forlan - the former United man, who is the most capped player in the squad, leads the front line again, in the hope of impressing. He may begin to tire quickly, as at the age of 31, he is getting slower, but this could lead to him creating chances for others.
Group Games: France (11th June); South Africa (16th June); Mexico (22nd June)
Adam's Prediction: Could very possibly finish without a point. Big goal difference deficit should leave them at the bottom. 4th in Group A.

Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Fernando Muslera (Lazio), Juan Castillo (Deportivo Cali), Martin Silva (Defensor Sporting) 

Defenders: Diego Lugano (Fenerbahce), Diego Godin (Villarreal), Andres Scotti (Colo Colo), Jorge Fucile (Porto), Martin Caceres (Juventus), Mauricio Victorino (Universidad de Chile), Maximiliano Pereira (Benfica) 

Midfielders: Walter Gargano (Napoli), Egidio Arevalo Rios (Penarol), Sebastian Eguren (AIK Stockholm), Diego Perez (Monaco), Alvaro Pereira (Porto), Alvaro Fernandez (Universidad de Chile), Ignacio Gonzalez (Valencia), Nicolas Lodeiro (Ajax) 

Forwards: Luis Suarez (Ajax), Diego Forlan (Atletico Madrid), Sebastian Abreu (Botafogo), Edinson Cavani (Palermo), Sebastian Fernandez (Banfield).
