Uruguay put up a great performance in the World Cup four years ago, eventually finishing fourth. Now playing the World Cup in South America, they are capable of another bold show.
The best World Cup bets on Uruguay at the most recent World Cup were:
| Year | Stage of Exit |
|---|---|
| 2010 | Finished Fourth. Eliminated In Semi Final By Holland |
| 2006 | Did Not Qualify |
| 2002 | Eliminated at Group Stage |
| 1998 | Did Not Qualify |

Uruguay will be battling for one of the up to four places available at the World Cup 2014 from the South American qualifying section. Brazil have already qualified automatically as hosts so Uruguay may fancy their chances of finishing first in the qualifying group, although they face tough competition from the likes for Chile and Argentina.
