But Paraguay are by far the gayest and most annoying team ever, I hope Uruguay destroy the.
    This. But apart from that I miss Cavani in their team. In terms of entertaiment and playing style they lost much with his exit.

    The biggest atrocity is England being 5th.
    Football is a simple game, complicated by idiots.

    Mexico is very good now, and this should continue for a long time with their young talent. By very good, I mean they were better in the Gold Cup than all but Uruguay were in Copa America. The top European sides will have their hands full with Uruguay and Mexico in Confed Cup 2013 and WC 2014. Uruguay at 5th is not far off.

    England 6th is way above their current playing strength. Paraguay and Mexico are underrated.

    I thought of making an all time Uruguay XI while it's on the trend, but instead of having to research which 1930s and 50s footballers were better than each other, let's just keep it simple - Forlan + Enzo Francescoli + Schiaffino + Varela + 6 interchangable thugs.

    Forlan, Schiaffino and Enzo will make it rain hell while the rest of the team scares the opponent into submission. The formation will be 3-4-3, but it won't matter, because it'll be awesome no matter what.
