Uruguay are still part of the 2018 World Cup after incredibly finding a way past Portugal a few days ago, but even though they are a team that many fans around the world haven’t seen as favourites throughout this competition, they have already lifted the World Cup on two occasions.
Uruguay will always have the distinct advantage of being the first ever team to lift the Jules Rimet trophy back in 1930 when the final took place at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay.
An interesting fact about this final is that aside from the 1966 World Cup in England, this was the only final not to take place on a Sunday. Goals from Pablo Dorado, Pedro Cea, Santos Iriarte and Héctor Castro gave Uruguay a distinctive 4-2 win over Argentina who were leading 2-1 at one point in the match.
Uruguay went on to win the World Cup again in 1950, but have been unable to even get close to a World Cup final ever since.
