URUGUAY begin their 2022 Qatar World Cup journey with a tough test against Asian giants South Korea.
La Celeste were unfortunate to come up against the eventual winners France at the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals stage.
Goals from Raphael Varane and Antoine Griezmann was enough to send the Urguyan’s home early following a hard fought campaign.
However, Diego Alonso will be hoping that the French defeat can give his side that fire in their belly this time round – especially all-time top goal scorer Luis Suarez whose club future is up in the air.
But first, Uruguay have to navigate Son Heung-min and co who are determined to make it out of the group stages for the first time since 2010.
