Uruguay 2

 

Unkown Goalkeeper
vs. Ghana (0:1) | World Cup | 2010 in South Africa

Have you ever felt a bit bad about owning a football shirt? Well, I do with this one! On one hand, I was happy to get a matchworn Uruguay shirt, ticking off another South American team from my matchworn wishlist for just over 70€. On the other hand, it is the shirt the team wore when cheating Ghana and robbing the Black Stars from becoming the first African semi finalist. A moment that definitely is among the top 5 moments that made me scream at the telly, before almost crying.

That match, but also that biting goalkeeper they keep fielding, are making it hard for me to sympathize with the team. In fact, if I think about it, I think Uruguay is just the least interesting country in South America for me - as a place and as a national team (which of course didn't stop me from buying Uruguay shirts!).
