Interesting Uruguay line-up for their game against Iran which just kicked off.

Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez & Pellestri (Utd's young reserve). Unclear if Cavani will make the WC squad. He's not on the bench

They look strong in midfield with Bentancur & Valverde. Vecino starts today, but Torreira will probably start when the chips are down.

If Darwin doesn't click for them up front I don't see them going far - but you'd think they'll have enough to edge out Ghana & South Korea either way.

Iran turned them over 1 nil and Araujo got injured after 5 mins

Keep an eye on this guy. Could be a star one day.

I might be the odd one out here but I'm really looking forward to this. Winter is bleak at the best of times, so this will be a welcome addition to the standard dreariness of November/December. If nothing else, it'll be a good excuse to venture out to the odd watering hole or two.

Top class. Jersey looks daycent as well.

It's a little bit performative from Hummel, but it's more than any other corporation has done.

Also..a third jersey for a world cup?? Is there any chance of it actually being worn?

From a design & impact perspective a black band across the upper arm of the home & away jersey would've been a better move.

Genius idea having a 33rd team.
