Uruguay Soccer Jersey
History
At the begining of the twentieth century, the teams of Argentina and Uruguay played continuously between them. The Uruguayan teams dreamed of beating the powerful Alumni team from Argentina, which only lost 2 tournaments between 1900 and 1911 (this is the year they disappeared). The 10th of April of 1910, in Parque Central, River Plate of Montevideo beat a Alumni 2 to 1, using a sky blue jersey because their regular jersey was similar to the one of Alumni. At the sixth edition of Limpton Cup, the argentinians proposed that Uruguay changed its striped jersey, which was similar to the one of Argentina, because that uniform was officially adopted by “Argentine Association Football League”.
The delegate from Montevideo Wanderers, another Uruguayan team, Ricardo Le Bas, proposed that in order to honor the victory of River Plate against Alumni, the Uruguayan national team should use a sky blue jersey. Le Bas initiative, supported by the president of the league, Hector R. Gomez (who made this requests as one of his own), was approved by all the members of the parliament of the Uruguayan league. The 15th of August of 1910, Uruguay, wearing for the first time the sky-blue jersey (or “Celeste” as it is well known) beat Argentina 3 to 1 in Montevideo Wanderers field, in Belvedere)

For all of you that got shit for brains, URUGUAY was at the Olympic level….. Champion of the WORLD TWICE, learn something about soccer history then talk. Argentina first cup was purchased not earned…. remember how they beat Peru, by the exactly amount of goals that they need to qualify. Isn’t that a coincidence or what? CHARRUA CON LA CELESTE HASTA L MUERTE GRANDES O CHICOS TENEMOS BIEN PUESTOS LOS C…nes.!!!!!!!
Charrua that was back when my grand grand father was playing, Uruguay won’t even make it to the second round, that the reality. Last time u guys won something was in 1950…Nobody played soccer at that time….
la différence entre l’uruguay et tous les autres pays c’est que l’es uruguayens ils ont ce qu’il faut ou il faut….et on se battra jusqu’à la victoire…quant à la France la couleur dominante est le noir….à moins que ce soit l’équipe d’afrique du sud….
Show some respect to the team with the original title. You do realize that the reason the Uruguay team has become weak is because it is such a poor country that all their good players become nationals of other countries and play for them. . .Like Argentina UK Brasil Spain and some for Italy.
Dissing on their team would be like me taking a shit on your country’s national monument.
vamoooo uruguayyyyyyyy
all you mother fuckers fuck you all im frome uruguay and we teach all the other fucking countries how to play fuckin’ futbol motherfuckers so shut the fuck up and is no my probles that other fucking’ countries full of ignorant didnt know how to play it…FUCKING CUNTS!!!!!! SEIG HEIL!!! MOTHER FUCKER IMIGRANTS!!!
uruguay just silenced south africa scoring 3-0 have something to say now? I am so proud of my country, we never give up. we may be a small country but our hearts are gold filled with motivation,love,and something that no one can ever take away from us, PRIDE. If we lose we keep our heads held high,and never stop trying, if we win it is a victory that will shock the nation. Who are you to put a country down, when you probably never stepped foot there. People will smile, greet you and make you feel like family no matter what color, race, or religion. We are all one, brothers and sisters. I love Uruguay, and everyone in it. URUGUAY TE AMO <3
Arriva La Celeste, Carajo!!!! Uruguay, que no ni no!!!!
Can I just point out that, if Uruguay sucks, how come they are the third highest scorers in the world cup so far? And if they suck, how come Forlán was recently the highest scorer in La Liga? And if they suck, how come they’re tied for first in group A? Scoreboard, my friends, scoreboard.

Romanus: Verguenza te tendria que dar. Uruguay le abrio sus puertas a los espannoles huyendo de la guerra. Entre ellos mis abuelos. Les dio un lugar para trabajar y progresar. Educar a sus hijos. Los Sudacas le dieron de comer a los que se quedaron en Espanna en las remesas y comida que enviaron de sudamerica. Dicho sea de paso, si somos hijos de puta (sons of bitches) que dice de tu Espanna que es nuestra Madre Patria. // Romanus: Shame on you! Uruguay open its borders to the Spanish running away from hunger and war (including my grandparents). They gave them food, cover, work and the opportunity to grow and educate their children. The Sudacas fed the Spanish that stayed with the money and food they sent to Spain for years. By the way, If we are sons of bitches, what that is says about Spain: our Mother Land? VAMO’ARRIBA LA CELESTE!
I’m at shocked at the ignorance of the people that are bashing on Urugruay! You guys are idiots. Can’t you recognize a great team when you see one? Uruguay is going to the semis suckkkers! Stop being so racist and enjoy a great team that is about to make history. GO URUGUAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
….Uruguay has given the world more world-class footballers per capita than any other country. It is a unique and wonderful little country and I am proud of my heritage. Arriba Celeste!

Romanus: All of Latin America should demand reparations from you inbred Spanish savages. Spain achieved its financial success by murdering, pillaging and raping the Americas with the help and blessings of that pedophilic institution known as the Catholic Church. Rafael is correct in stating that you Spaniards (my family included, by the way) were the poor sons-of-bitches looking for handouts from Uruguay, Argentina, Brasil, etc. Lee y aprende puto ignorante:
La Madre Patria comenzaba a vomitar hijos propios a los que no podía dar lo más elemental para sobrevivir.
Argentina, Cuba, México, Venezuela, Uruguay y Brasil se convirtieron entre 1901 y 1910 en los principales receptores del flujo migratorio español que en ese periodo se calculó en cien mil emigrantes por año.
Arriba Uruguay! No tienes nada que envidiarle a ningun pais!
Romanus: En las palabras del Rey Juan Carlos:
PORQUE NO TE CALLAS?
Ego Ego and more Ego has ruined many a great nation France, Italy, England and yes lets not forget Spain……Hey and last but not least why is it you Spaniards speak with a lisp?….Viva Uruguay Viva la Celeste!!!!!.
oh i almost forgot about Argentina, there EGO is so LARGE you can see there heads from space.
