    We went to the Club de Golf de Uruguay. It is right in Montevideo and it is on the water. The course was in amazing condition, greens fees and caddy totalled $52 and the views are great. Every hole has a good view of the ocean and the city.

    Only BUT is the mosquitos. Worst I have ever experienced. We had anti-bug stray on and it did nothing. if you were ever off the fairway, the minute you stood still to hit, you would see a dozen giant ones land on your arms and legs. When you slap them, you would have a trickle of blood.

    So wear long pants and bring a spray with Deet.

    Bring your own clubs (they say)

    El Campeonato Mundial de F?tbol del Centenario ser? en Uruguay. Est? clar?simo, pero se necesitar? trabajarlo con "Garra Celeste". El Primer Campe?n Mundial ser? el Anfitri?n del Mundial del Centenario.

    El mismo que fue sede del Primer Mundial y lo gan?. Honor que le fue otorgado por ganar la Medalla de Oro en los Juegos Ol?mpicos de 1924 y 1928. Uruguay no defraud?. Gan? y el Mundial fue un ?xito.

    Actualmente el F?tbol es el Deporte mas Popular del Mundo, el Mundial es un evento deportivo principal. y sin duda ya , Eterno.

    Para los Uruguayos es una Obligaci?n. Hay que poner la idea en todos lados, Hay que mejorar en todo lo necesario para un Mundial de esa categor?a. Hay tiempo y no lo Hay. Hay que demostrar que se puede. Que es lo mas L?gico ya se sabe.

    Necesitaremos el apoyo de Nuestros Hermanos Sudamericanos. Al vernos trabajar este proyecto sin descanso, nos apoyar?n sin duda.

    De nosotros depende si este importante evento se realizar? en Uruguay. O terminar? en cualquier otro Pa?s.

    El pitazo de apertura del Campeonato Mundial del 2030 tiene que ser en el Estadio que lleva el nombre m?s adecuado para serlo :

    El Estadio Centenario

    El pitazo de la carrera a Nuestra Meta ya se dio.

    El 2030 ser? en Uruguay.

    When in Uruguay, one must not miss the chance to see a soccer game at the historic Estadio Centenario. The stadium itself is very important because it is the site of the first World Cup.

    Perhaps the most exciting game you can go to is the Clásico - which is played between the two most popular clubs in Uruguay - Peñarol and Nacional. The energy in the stadium during these games is
    amazing.

    Football, or as it is known in America, Soccer, Uruguai has been the Champ two times.
    1930 in Montevideo
    1950 in Rio, at Maracana
    and that was a real shock to the brasilian system. .. David defeted Golias
    Uru's know only one sport.....Football, mad, mad Nation
    and if they lose to its bigger neighbour, Argentina, then they say: ah well.....Gardel is Urugaian anyway.....and that, drives the Argentines on the brink of insanity!!

    Soccer is by far the most important spectator sports in Uruguay. When you have the chance you should go and check out a game at the Centenario, which is a monument in the history of world soccer and where the first World Cup was held in 1930. Uruguay won the WorldCup and again in 1950 against Brazil. Ever since people in Uruguay think of these good old times with melancholic nostalgia. Nowadays, the Celeste, the national team of Uruguay, is still a very good, but far away from winning a WorldCup again.

    The picture was taken from the World Cup qualifier Uruguay-Argentina on Oct 12, a game which Uruguay won 1:0, keeping their hopes for qualification alive
