A Man. Utd. fan washed your "fact" straight to the pooper. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9457835&postcount=94 "Uruguay is playing for fun now" jajajajjajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja So you don't want Uruguay to win any more World Cups as they have won "enough"? You're looking for a way out now. NO FAN WOULD EVER SAY THAT. You think a brazilian thinks like that? After winning 5 championships they wanna win more. What is "enough" in your book? Brazil - 5 Italy - 4 Germany -3 2 championships sure as hell aren't "enough". Boy, you really are burying your own grave here. Hmm...I wonder why that is...and I don't think population is one of them.
who can pull this stat? only the last 10WC - that will give us the last 40yrs of futbol. participation per team belong to coNmebol is safe to say: Brazil and argentina 10 out of 10 the rest? this is a classic line of big soccer: "uruguay reached holy land, we just play for fun"
is all yours.....I just can stop thinking about it....changed unders twice in the process.... borra...just quit beer for a weekend and put 16 bucks for membership...sport the sig....and have fun. for tha record: ecuas 2 trips in the last 10WC and colombia 3 trips How many for urus and paraguas?
The last 10 WC's? That would mean starting from Mexico '70 onwards. Let's see: Argentina: 9 out of 10 (Missed Mexico '70. Peru eliminated them ) Brazil: 10 out of 10 Bolivia: 1 out of 10 ('94) Colombia: 3 out of 10 ('90, '94, '98) Chile: 3 out of 10 ('74, '82, '98) Ecuador: 2 out of 10 (2002, 2006) Paraguay: 4 out of 10 ('86, '98, 2002, 2006) Peru: 3 out of 10 ('70, '78, '82) Uruguay: 5 out of 10 ('70, '74, '86, '90, 2002) Venezuela: 0 out of 10 It really is. I'm still amazed.

Is this another "who's 3rd in S.A thread" man how the hell did I miss this?, anyways I thought you all agreed in the Last thread that Ecuador was the 3rd team in S.A, it's amazing how quickly you guys change your minds. And to Ansewer the original question, NO there won't be any new Giants in S.A anytime soon, same way that there won't be any new Euro Giants either.
Well maybe Uruguay should stop playing for fun since you guys cant qualify or qualify directly for shyt
History is history, like it or not Uruguay is padeling right along with the rest and not just padeling but having enough trouble just catching up to Paraguay, more less reaching that "island". Uruguay may have great talent, but right now their only 4th or 5th best in Conmebol and thats being very generous as they cant even manage to grab a top 4 place in qualifying.
exactly, peru has been there 3 times (long ago) and peruvians do not claim 'giantism' over ecuas.....with only 2 shows at WC.... they are just even!
Anybody in this forum, besides Manya's grandfather, remembers WC70 or WC74? Meaning watching or listening to the games live, not a rerun about the glorious generation. I remember a few games from WC78 including the infamous Peru-Argentina, the 3rd place match (Italy-Brazil should have been the final) and the Strange Final...
Anybody remembers the joke about the guy saying to the other that in certain town you only find soccer players and street walkers? Hey be careful, answers the other, our whole family, including my mom and my sister are from that town... Oh, yeah?, replies the first guy- What team do they play for?
God no. I'd never say something like "we've reached holy land, we play for fun" Although if you're gonna compare both golden ages (that is if Ecuadorians consider the 2000's their golden era), Peru has one more WC participation and a Copa America right in the middle (1975) of our golden era to show for it. But I get what you are saying...different times and stuff. I say Ecuador has the advantage right now because of their willing for organisation and seriousness when the WCQ process begins. They are certainly a step above. We are some corrupt and irresponsable bastards. Doesn't colombia have a bit of an organisation problem too?
