• The AUF was founded in 1900 and the Uruguayan national team played its first game against Argentina in 1902, a 6-0 thumping. Still, they were hooked and kept coming back, playing all but one (Chile) of their next 34 games against Argentina. To date, they have played their old rivals well over 160 times which far outstrips the world's oldest rivalry, England v Scotland by more than 50 games.
  Winners of the inaugural World Cup in 1930 on home soil, they also won the trophy again when it returned to South America in 1950. The have also won the Copa America 15 times; the most recent in 2011.
  Uruguay is one of only five nations (Brazil, Italy, Romania and Netherlands) to have a better head-to-head record against England. The first encounter between the two was in Montevideo in 1953 where the South Americans prevailed 2-1.
  The second knocked England out of the 1954 World Cup at the quarter-final stage by four goals to two. They also met in the first game of the 1966 World Cup which ended in a tame nil all draw and most recently Uruguay beat England 2-1 in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
