This Friday, Uruguay will travel to Argentina as the two South American squads face off in FIFA's qualifying stage.

Both teams have played pretty well this year. After round one, Argentina is currently ranked No. 1 amongst South American teams, winning four games and only losing one of their seven matches. Uruguay is not too far behind as they are in fourth place.

With the host nation Brazil absent from the qualifying competition, both Argentina and Uruguay have a good chance of reaching the World Cup Finals. 

 

Where: Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, Mendoza, Argentina

When: Friday, October 12, 8:00 a.m. EST

 

Messi is Integral to Argentina's Success

As I mentioned above, Argentina has been playing exceptionally well in their last few matches. Of their four wins, they have scored a total of 15 goals, only allowing six from their opponents. In total, they have 14 points as a result.

Lionel Messi, arguably the star of the team, has been making waves as usual due to his aggressive playmaking skills. Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova even expressed "we do not know his limits" when speaking of him. 

Just this past Saturday, Messi battled it out against Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, scoring two goals during a classic match. Messi took advantage of Portugal's defensive lapses to lead his team to a draw.



If he continues playing the way he has, beating Argentina will be a challenge for the struggling Uruguayan team.

 

Uruguay's Recent Woes

Uruguay has been successful in the past. They won the Copa America 2011, setting a record with an astounding 15 titles.

Though they are certainly qualified to win the World Cup, Uruguay has not been playing as such recently. Along with their three wins, Uruguay also has three draws and one loss, a 4-0 shutout by Colombia.
