I like Jorge Ramos when he does the play by play.....anything coming out of that show I automatically assume it's bullshit.
Jorge Ramos is an idiot. The guy said Uruguay was a favorite to win the WC.....I loled, then he said Uruguay is a 4 time world champion...then I lmao!
A lot of Uruguayans say that. Their basis is that Uruguay won 2 gold medals before the world cup started so they try to count those but it's BS.
Off course its BS. the black and white days. Was sound even invented the last time a Uruguayan NT won something on the world stage? JAJAJA!
Before the World Cup started, the Olympics was the highest level of National team competition so Uruguay winning the 2 Olympic games before the 1930 WC means they were "world champions"; but Officially FIFA World cups they only have 2. Now the Men's game is played by U-23 teams so it is not the same as back in the 20's-30's. But even for the Women's game where they have no age limit, only the winners of the FIFA World Cup are recognized as World Champions. Japan is the current World Champion even when the USA won the Olympic gold medal. Now if people were to recognize Uruguay 4 “championships” that would mean having to recognize England as 3 time “champion” and fuck that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_Summer_Olympics#Men.27s_results Now the 2 Olympics that England won, only Europeans teams played (1908-1912), the games that Belgium won (1920) there was 1 African team (Egypt) and the rest were European. The games that Uruguay won (1924-1928) had a bit more world flavor as teamsfrom Uruguay, USA, Egypt (1924) and USA, Mexico, Chile, Egypt, Argentina and Uruguay played in those games. Note: To be fair the 1938 World Cup was mostly an European tournament also, only Brazil, Cuba and the Dutch Indies (Indonesia) were from outside Europe. They are the current Copa America Champions., so I would say yes.
I can see where the uruguayans argument comes from tho I donnot share it, you can claim to be "world champion" but you should not get to wear two stars that you won in a tournament and two that you won from a totally diferent one, who do they think they are Pachuca or Monterrey?
The expert analysis of Hector Huerta. "Santos que ya tiene que conseguir un titulo porque tiene una sequia de titulos importantes". Somebody tell the idiot that Santos won the MFL title last year before Tijuana. Super sequia.
