Although Uruguay have a rich FIFA World Cup� history, they have not advanced as far as the quarter-finals since their run to the last four in 1970. Ghana, their opponents on Friday night, have never gone this far in the tournament before, having reached the second round four years ago on their FIFA World Cup debut.
In both 2006 and in South Africa, the Black Stars were Africa’s only representatives in the knock-out rounds, and they can also become the first ever side from the continent to advance to a semi-final with a win. Standing in the way of Africa’s hopes is an in-form La Celeste led by one of the most dynamic front-lines at the tournament.
