📸 Uruguay can be unlocked by 10-man Argentina with only a one magical moment.

In Friday's World Cup qualifier, Argentina defeated Uruguay 1-0 thanks to a single player who made the difference. Furthermore, Lionel Messi was not his name. With two South American powerhouses facing off, the Centenario would always be an intense event. Yet, there wasn't much football played because of the tight environment on the field. In the first five minutes of this match, there were just six shots combined, and there were nine more fouls recorded. Naturally, tensions rose, and even with the talent on hand, there was still no goal long into the second half. Then, in the end, a single magical moment—something that typically falls on the shoulders of eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi—proved the difference. But because the Inter Miami star was injured, Argentina had to rely on Thiago Almada and Julian Alvarez to provide the game-winning goal. Outside the box, the Atletico Madrid starlet gave the ball to his countryman after dancing around Uruguay...

Barcelona star inks new contract at Camp Nou.

Barcelona's defender Ronald Araújo has signed a contract extension until 2031, according to the club. The Uruguayan was highly linked with a move to Serie A club Juventus in the January transfer window, but chose to stay with the Blaugrana and has now demonstrated his dedication with a new contract. After recovering from a hamstring injury, Araújo is expected to play a crucial role for Hansi Flick's team in the second half of the season.

Darwin Nunez received a five-match ban from international football for attacking Colombia fans.

Darwin Nunez of Liverpool has been granted a five-game international ban for his role in the chaos that erupted at the end of Uruguay's Copa America semi-final against Colombia last month. Following the final whistle, the striker seemed to confront fans in the Colombia section of the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina when a riot broke out near where the Uruguayans' families were seated. Uruguay had just been defeated 1-0 by Colombia, who played the entire second half with ten men, denying them a berth in the final. Nunez, who was recorded on film throwing a chair at Colombia supporters, has also been fined £15,000. Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur, who was involved in the incident, has received a four-game international ban and a £12,000 fine, while Mathias Olivera, Ronald Araujo, and Josema Gimenez have all been suspended for three matches. Uruguayan football administrators defended their players following the incident, claiming they were merely attempting to keep the...

Colombia survived a furious semi-final against Uruguay, revealing three key takeaways.

Colombia defeated Uruguay 1-0 on Wednesday, securing a spot in the Copa América 2024. This is what we created from the action. Colombian dark horses are no more. The only statistic you need to appreciate how powerful this Colombia team is is that they have extended their unbeaten record to an incredible 28 games. Néstor Lorenzo's crew have refined their recipe and show no signs of slowing down. Colombia were brave throughout the match against a strong Uruguay team that carried the always-heavy favourites tag into the tournament, despite being a man down for the entire second half.

🅵🅾🆄🆁 major questions for the Copa América semi-finals.

The Copa América returns, with Argentina taking on Canada and Colombia facing Uruguay in the semi-finals. Before the usual theatrics begin, here are four major questions. Can Messi reach one more final with Argentina? He won both the Copa América and the World Cup. So, what does another final entail for Lionel Messi? Well, it could imply more than you realize. We haven't seen the Inter Miami player play his best football during the competition. Even with the alien-like skills he develops and his influence off the court, his terrible statistics speak for themselves. So far, Messi has zero goals, one assist, and a missed penalty, providing ample evidence that his retirement is imminent. The beginning of a natural finish to an extraordinary career. As a result, this semi-final is even more satisfying. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has previously stated that the 2022 World Cup would be his last. This implies that a second consecutive Copa América final this summer may be hi...

Uruguay's Manuel Ugarte, a man on Manchester United's radar, scored the game-winning penalty after Brazil's Eder Militao missed and Douglas Luiz's shot hit the post. This victory was especially notable because Uruguay played with 10 men for much of the game following Nahitan Nandez's red card. Suarez responds to Pereira’s comments.

3️⃣ things we learned as Colombia thrive while Uruguay crush Brazil hearts.

The Copa América quarterfinals concluded on Saturday with Colombia defeating Panama 5-0 and Uruguay defeating Brazil on penalties following a 0-0 stalemate. Here's what we made of the action. This might be Colombia's tournament to lose. We've seen some fantastic football at the Copa América, as well as some scruffy displays, but how about Colombia's?  The performances were mostly organized by their captain, James Rodriguez, who continues to prosper when representing the national team, despite disappointing club results. His influence in the game has helped his teammates shine. They scored on five of his assists, and he eventually added one of his own from the penalty spot. Colombian football is innovative, energetic, intelligent, and resilient. Of their 11 goals, eight different players have scored, and their defense is equally remarkable. After five games, they actually appear to be the whole package. Colombia are undefeated in 27 games. WWWWWWDDWWWWDDDWWWWWWWWWWDW T...

Uruguay against Brazil: Preview, Predictions, and Team News.

All eyes will be on Allegiant Stadium this weekend when Uruguay takes on Brazil in the Copa America quarterfinals. Uruguay's journey to the Copa America last eight was very simple, as his squad won all three group stage matches in Group C against Panama, Bolivia, and the USMNT, conceding only once. Marcelo Bielsa's team has undoubtedly looked the part of a serious contender so far, and they'll need to replicate their group stage achievements to defeat Brazil. Brazil entered the Copa America as one of the clear favorites, along with Uruguay and Argentina, but has yet to really put it all together. They advanced out of Group D alongside Colombia after a 1-1 draw against Nestor Lorenzo's team, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Selecao took things up a notch on Saturday evening.

5️⃣ things we learned from Sunday's Copa América action.

Copa América Group C is beginning to take shape after the first round of play on Sunday. The United States easily defeated Bolivia, while Uruguay swept Panama. Here is what we learned from the Group C activity. The man of the hour Christian Pulisic carries the aspirations of a nation on his shoulders, but it didn't stop the forward from firing a screamer into the net off the crossbar just three minutes at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon. As a 17-year-old, the Milan youngster was the youngest player on the last United States Copa América team, and his development as a potential future star has been the driving force behind this generation's United States Men's National Team. Where Pulisic goes, the United States will follow. If he remains hot in the coming weeks, there is no knowing how far Gregg Berhalter's team can go.  Not enough firepower. It was evident from the start that Bolivia would struggle to compete with their Group C opponents. And, while they maintai...
