- Uruguay is one of the smaller nations compared to other Latin American countries in the world of football, but its passion for fútbol is one of the biggest. Experts say its history of racial inclusivity and early economic policies played a big role in Uruguay's early international football success. Cheddar explains...

I'm from Ukraine/USA and after 2010 I felt in love with Uruguay! So small, but so big at the same time!
yetideti Wow!!
yetideti ...thanks friend.
I felt in love with a beautiful Ukrainian woman from Kiev, so we are even!
You´re welcome to visit my country any time friend!
How is it going on Ukraine? You were there when it started?
I went to China a few years ago and for my surprise every person that I spoke with knew where is Uruguay located..
Carolina Acosta They are chineese people...
Osea, son chinos no jodas. Son perfectos
Santiago Rodriguez todos conocian a Suarez! Muy gracioso 😂😂
That is weird! When I went there, few knew where Mexico was located (its way easier to explain its location than Uruguay's, though)
What is a mexico?
Im from Uruguay and im very proud about this video...this is a warriors nation...whe learn from the childhood to be good people...to have principals and good care of eachother...im proud of my country...and vamo arriba Uruguay nomaaaa'''' sorry about my english

Black Dago_ Uruguay NOMA
Why does Suarez bite
mr shakir i don't know xd
You should have mentioned how important it was for Uruguay to have won the gold medals in the Olympic Games in Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928. That was pivotal and esential for the World Cup to be created.
Nos quitan premios bo... 🥺😞
They're the only team to 3-peat they won the first inaugural world cup after 24, 28, 1930
The 24 Olympics was their debut on a world tournament and they won gold 🪙
They deserve their stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cuando juega Uruguay means When Uruguay plays, not When you play Uruguay
Sean nt No, Spanish the would require "contra", it's "jugar contra alguien"
Sean nt no
Sean nt yea cuz Sean is a real Spanish name.
Maybe not necessarily, but that is exactly what it means. "Cuando juega Uruguay" means, literally, "when Uruguay plays".
When you play Uruguay is in spanish "Cuando juegas en uruguay" and "cuando juega uruguay" is when Uruguay plays, Saludos desde Uruguay!
It's called football
TheSentinel909 fútbol kid or fobal
Anal.
Association football. Soccer is a perfectly acceptable short-form.
There are dozens of football codes. Association football doesn't have a monopoly on the term.
its called footval :P
Fútbol in SPANISH

Great video and thank you. The world is so fixated by Messi, Ronanldo and Neymar. Markerting rules Football now and Uruguay dont fit that mold and thas why everyone is shocked that they are so good for only 3.5million. But for us Uruguayans its no surprise.
Uruguay not.powerful anymore deal with it
They are though - an American-Brazilian
Great job explaining Uruguay is THE BEST at soccer. This is my moms home country, now i want to visit Uruguay and i'm VERY proud. Im eight yrs old, and i learned A LOT from you. :]
Was rooting for Uruguay, being born in Guayaquil I always heard of Uruguay and Alberto Spencer. Shout out to Uruguay.
URUGUAY 4 TITLES OF WORLD CHAMPION AND 15 TITLES CHAMPION OF AMERICA..
MateyGardelOriental tienen dos , no 4 .. son un gran equipo y los apoyo, pero no inventes
MateyGardelOriental y yo creía que era gente tranquila. Parece que te herí, igualmente googlie y ganaron en 1930 y 1950.. después de eso ninguna más. Vos decime..
A.......VER...igorante.No sabés escribir y pretndés darme lecciones de Historia del Futbol..Sos un payaso...Por eso ni siquiera voy a perder un segundo mas en contestarte.
Naaaa me importa poco y nada que sepas,creas o te enteres algun dia..

It's not a bad summary. This is a succinct description of Uruguay's beginnings in football. The Brits also tried with Cricket and it didn't take hold (Peñarol was originally a cricket club), but soccer was an easy sport to integrate society, low cost, and lots of fun. Nowadays it is definitely a sport that enables upward mobility for some of the exceptional players. The French went crazy with Andrade "the black marvel"...I believe they were the ones who called him that during the 1924 Olympics in Paris. That is the first star in our shirt (no FIFA yet). Then Argentina joined us to cross the Atlantic for 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. We also won that (second star on shirt). We then missed some tournaments b/c we were ticked some countries didn't travel to Uruguay (Italy), and WWII. After 1954, I think we began to find it harder to compete. We were a lot less than 3.5 million back then also.
Así es, en esa época los apodos se ganaban no se ponían. Acá le pusimos El Tigre a Arthur Friedenreich cuando nos sacó la Copa America con un gol en la final. Los Argentos le pusieron Maestro a Piendibene cuando le hizo dos sombreritos a los hermanos Brown y metió un golazo y los Peruanos fueron los que crearon el término Garra Charrúa en 1935 cuando le ganamos a los Argentos con un grupo de veteranos.
Peñarol is not CURCC...
@@federicoalonso9066 Go cry in your bedroom, champ
Would've been cool if cricket had caught on and gained a hand-hold on the continent, outside of Guyana in the far north (as part of the West Indies cricket team.)
Football not Soccer bro, also 1924 was FIFA who organized the Football Olympic Games, and 1928 thats why Uruguay has 4 official world titles and thats why there are 4 stars in the crest, if FIFA didn't organized those olympic games Uruguay would have only 2 stars not 4.
jajajajajaja haime rus, dieigo furlan, cracks
v well done otherwise (and sorry for mocking the pronounciation)
URUGUAY NOMÁ!!!!
Mateo Méndez él más grande de la historia!!!!. Invensibles!!!
El de Jaime Rus la rompió JAJA!
Dijo diego forlon jajajaja
Jajaja igual se interesaron en pronunciar bien
Dijeron uruguay en vez de iurugoai y dijeron bien batlle y ordoñez
Siendo de otro idioma en alguna entonacion se iban a tener que equivocar bro
How did those grown adults not know the countries of south america its not even that many

CopyRightedSnake how is “Americans are dumb” not a proper sentence? Also English is not my first language.
CopyRightedSnake No, “hello there” is the name of the guy I was replying to, thanks for proving my point though.

Uruguay have 4 world cups! Dont forget the two Olympic titles that at the time fifa recognised as world cups before the official world cup in 1930 hence the 4 stars on the shirt.
XR05Charrua Those aren’t “World Cups”. Those are Olympic medals, which arent world cups.
LevAurzyy errrr wrong..... fifa has recognised them. explain the 4 stars on the shirt?
XR05Charrua te voy a contestar en castellano porque me da paja en ingles. La seleccion de uruguay en su momento le rompio los huevos a la fifa para que les dejen usar las estrellas de los JJ OO. La fifa les dejo porque realmente les chupa un hueva. NADIE en el mundo reconoce que Uruguay tiene 4 Copas del Mundo. La de 1930 y 1950 son validas, las otras dos no eran Copas del Mundo. Hasta en la pagina de la fifa dice que tienen solo dos. www.fifa.com/worldcup/stories/y=2017/m=11/news=uruguay-2921215.html#Cover
Te hiciste el piola y te cerre el orto. Anda a chuparte una pija
LevAurzyy la fifa en ese momento no podía organizar un mundial independientemente así que lo hizo dentro del mundial, por eso reconoció los de 1924 y 1928 como mundiales. Si realmente pensas que la única razón por la que una asociación profesional le dio dos estrellas más a Uruguay porque les “chupaba un huevo” no se. La razón es porque fueron organizados por la fifa
Fran Davies entonces porque esas copas no estan reconocidas en la pagina oficial de la fifa?
5:55 Did she just said "Diego Forlon" and "Edinsen Cavani"?
Cuando juega Uruguay means 'when Uruguay plays' not 'when you play Uruguay'
Our beloved US Team did not make the world cup this year. But Carlos, what are you talking about? Uruguay won the most copa Americas followed by Argentina, There have been only 3 editions of Copa America where neither Argentina nor Uruguay finish in the top four (1949, 1979, 1997) Please advice which country has a better soccer/futbol record and let me know? Uruguay has won more international soccer/futbol Championships than any other country. 20 in total. 15 of those are Copa America. Uruguay has won 4 fifa world championships and a FIFA mini world cup of all previous champions and has reached the quarter finals in the last 3 fifa world cups and the Semi finals as resent as 2010. Uruguay beat Argentina in the last Copa America that was played in Argentina When MESSI was at his peak, knocking out Argentina in Argentina and eventually Uruguay won that Copa America. Uruguay's latest world cup squad is formed with absolute top world class players front back and middle with world class players on the bench and a youth squad that will keep making world class players for the foreseeable future.
Argentina's problem is political not sport related. We have that issue sorted out now but we too had many problems with it back in the 1970s when wonder players like Luis Cubilla or Pedro Rocha were deemed as traitors for playing abroad. Today every player who wears the Celeste jersey is Uruguayan no matter where he plays and people respects him as such. Our ladies tho, are way way behind the boys because they have a huge socioeconomic problem because women football is not nearly as relevant in South America and this is specially true in Uruguay where even the male league is one of the poorest in the continent for lack of sponosors.
Korean love Uruguay!! Tjey are king of South america~~
I was interested but then you used the word soccer.
Well, we also use "fútbol".
Good response! You have a sense of humour.

Peñarol was founded in 1891 whereas Nacional was founded in 1899, so Peñarol was the first football team in uruguay. Also, Uruguay was 4 times world champion, because they won 2 championships before the world cup was even created by FIFA. Still, FIFA recognizes those 2 championships, making Uruguay 4 times champion.
En realidad el Albion fue el primero por unos meses.
NOT True im a fan of Peñarol but the first Football Club in Uruguay was Albion not CURCC/Peñarol or Club Nacional de Football...
Eso era el CURC
Peñarol was founded by railroad workers in 1891, whereas Nacional was founded by affluent college students in 1899. It was presented in reverse in the video, but Peñarol is actually the oldest active feam in Uruguay. Also, Uruguay is 4 times champions of the world. 1924 and 1928 were counted by FIFA as official World Championships
Thanks so much for this video!!!! very interesting the combination of political, economical and social situation those days, together with their influence on soccer...or football.
Four Worldchampions. Read the history please!!
Olympic champion probably added
@@amonduul2154 olympic was the only one championship. Why should Uruguay made the first world Championschip if the two previous worldchampionship in olympic games wern't important??
Mi pais, pequeno en territorio y poblacion, pero GIGANTESCO en futbol!
"Chico" en Sudamerica...puesto 91 en territorio de 300 países,no es tan "Chico", pero el Uruguayo es bastante acomplejadito (yo no,por suerte)
I love you Uruguay.... That's all...no need to pour my heart
We were rised by blood of rebbels, of revolutionary leaders. We were rised to love our flag and land. Football here in South America means more than just a sport. Because every match feels like a battle, and a fight for the glory Uruguay once conquered.
We wouldnt win a war against our neigbors, but certanly we wouldnt let it be a easy battle, as same on sports. We are a small sized country, but our hesrts and will to fight everyfay on our daily life its what keep us going. We fight every single ball if it is the last, and the same idiology we reflect on our daily basys. Thank you for the video. We dont need recognition on where we are on a map. We showed the world already who we are, why we are there. Grettings from the free weed country Uruguay
That's not at all how it started. We had an INTERNAL struggle between the wealthy and the poor and football was the glue that cut through the class divide. Our first matches against the Argies weren't amicable but there was a tremendous sense of respect...UNTIL we won the WC from them.
Had a football team mate from Uruguay. I live in Germany. He was a really shy guy. But when he plays football he is something else. He fight like no other
They deserve the four stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
🇺🇾
Uruguay National Pride 🇺🇾 💙🤍
Thanks for this little piece, hope it gets to a lot of people as well.
You might have translated the title of Jaime's song more precisely as "When Uruguay plays." It's great to see you covering this, it would have been even better with more accurate pronunciation of various names.
Good short doco. At 4:12 I had to look up Criollo, to check I understood. I thought when they looked at the 1930 team they might have mentioned Hector Castro, a player with one arm, and also said more about the mighty 1950 team, but still well put together.
Nice Spanish 👌
And the future is even brighter for Uruguay football 🙏🏾💯#LaCeleste
What's in the water Uruguay?

Well, that surely explains it.
No entendí un choto pero URUGUAY NOMA

Black and white. To win in the new football era is real challenge, 60,70,80 years ago football wasnt professional and only 4 teams participated..
MUY lindo documental ,muchas gracias
I like how you explain the football history of Uruguay greetings from Uruguay !!
I wish I knew who was the narrator to thank her/them, for the effort in correctly pronouncing the "Ñ" (like "gn" in "lasagna"; it is not a "N" sound like most English-speakers prnounce it), the "LL" (not al "L" sound, but the "J" sound in "James") and evey Spanish word in general, even putting the accent where it belongs... Most of the time, Spanish is misspronounced by English-speakers, even those from Latinamerican background. So I really appreciated the effort and she/them did a great job!
Good video, i'm from Uruguay. Translations are a bit wrong in some cases. For example "Cuando juega Uruguay" means "When Uruguay plays"
Suarez and Cavani, best duo in the tournament
Que grande bo!!!! Uruguay noma!!! Diego Forlon... Forlon.... te fuiste al carajo 😂😂😂

Excellent resumee. Really well done. Its accurate. That s exactlly it.
Un año de Uruguay tiene más historia que todo Mechico.
Wowwwwww is amazing has left me surprised and excited
Uruguay is like Sparta but instead of having 300 warriors they have 3 millions
Cuando juega Uruguay somos 3.000.000. Uruguay nomá! 💪🇺🇾😉
More soccer championship titles per capita than any other country in the world. Also more soccer championships period. A total of 19. 2 World Cups 2 Olympic Gold Medals and 15 Copa Americas Continental Championships. That's more international titles than Brazil and Germany.
Great video, i'm from Uruguay and i really like it!!.
It is Futbol, not soccer. I am from Uruguay and I really enjoy this video and lecture. My first present was a futbol ball and we used to play futbol on the streets. It is in our blood. Lets go Uruguay tomorrow.
De montevideo por eso moriste en las calles , mientras que el resto de nosotros los "canarios de afuera" siempre algun campito sobraba para pelotear.
(Campito , y no potrero que eso es un termino porteño.) Gurises y no pibes.

In America it is called soccer. Just how it is, no reason to care about a name.

VAMO URUGUAY 😍💙🇺🇾💙🇺🇾💙 Ojalá pudiera entender algo :(
There is some worng info, the first football club in Uruguay was Albion, then CURCC who changed to Peñarol and then Nacional
Hearing "Jaime Rus" And "Diego Forlón" was hilarious, but the video is superb. Thank you.
LA CELESTE la seleccion de futbol con mas mistica del mundo , mentalmente ganadores , toro en su rodeo y toraso en rodeo ajeno , nunca dar una pelota por perdido , vamos Uruguay!!!
URUGUAY NOMA!!! GREAT VIDEO!!
0:45 no lady, we don't have cheddar in the water
I encourage all to visit Montevideo, great for "groundhoping" historical fields (parques) and stadiums, dozens of places of interest and cultured, polite residents. I was there once, 2002.
Here from austin’s channel
You got me at well-rolled Rs.
Oh, I thought it was going to be that they bite their strongest opponents to take them out early 😂
URUGUAY NOMAAAA!!!
Thank you for say that of our country thanks
The success of the New Zealand 'All Blacks' rugby union team is also contributed by the inclusiveness of the sport in all reaches of society in New Zealand, where is crosses race, class and background. Rugby union is considered to be an upper class sport in Europe. Also, similarly as soccer/football is a part of Uruguay's national identity, rugby union is a part of New Zealand's national identity.
Yeah but rugby is a piddly obscure little sport that only about 5 countries care about.
And the last time I saw the All Blacks; I could barely see a player from Mew Zealand’s Caucasian majority they were all Polynesian. So much for diversity.
Che ya que somos sólo uruguayos comentando en inglés eso está mal PEÑAROL inaugureishon first Nacional secundown ever forevis🤣🤣🤣😚😚🤣
Vos viste lo que es el imperialismo, jaja. Somos 15 uruguayos pelotudos discutiendo en inglés de Peñarol y Nacional, jajaj
El primero fue el Victoria Cricket Club fundado en 1842, CINCUENTA AÑOS ANTES que cualquiera de esos dos, estuvo 10 años y después cerró por causa de una crisis posterior a un incendio y reabrió como el Montevideo Cricket Club en 1862 y en 1788 se convierte en el primer club Uruguayo en disputar un partido de fútbol. En 1874 aparece el Montevideo Rowing Club que en 1881 juegan el primer partido entre clubes de la historia de Uruguay. Ya en 1889 se arma un combinado para jugar contra otro de Buenos Aires y surge el clásico del Rio de La Plata. Y finalmente en 1891 aparece el Albion FC de Montevideo que es el verdadero decano del fútbol Uruguayo.
Jaja aguante nacional
NACIONAL NOMAAA!!!!!
Grande Uruguay. Saludos, un argentino.
Do one of puerto rico and baseball
Concise & informative. Kudos for at least attempting the correct pronunciation & references. The correct translation for: "Cuando Juega Uruguay" is "When Uruguay Plays". Also it's Diego Forlan not Forlon.
There is a wrong information. Peñarol was founded in 1891 and Nacional in 1899.
Excelente
That Diego Forlón player pictured in this video looks a lot like Diego Forlán.
That might answer why Uruguay was an unlikely world cup powerhouse decades ago but doesn't say much about why a country of 3.5M people is a major force to this day. What kept Uruguay being a major force when Hungary for example faded?
Excelente hermoso!!!
Jamaica also about the same population of Uruguay and is a world power in tracks however this is a different situation football is a large team sports and it is the world most popular sports for a small like that to consistently put out so much is amazing also Uruguay don't depends on migrants football
Alright, I ´d rather not comment , but Uruguay is simply the best .
Pause at 4:16…Ederson traveled through time?!
4 stars...4 world titles...don't care what anybody says. Uruguay noma!!!
Buenardo este video
Do you want to know why they are so good at football? They have more football fields than schools
There´s no school without a pitch of football so your comment it`s kinda right. There are a lot of pitches in the city and if your arent closer to one you will play on the street. Im from Uruguay. Its part of our culture and national identity.
Hey your information is wrong, Nacional was founded in 1899 , and Peñarol in 1891, but first it was called CURCC
FORLON
First Peñarol 1891
Later, nacional 1899
peñarol es del 13, el Curcc era un club de criquet, nada que ver con peñarol
How does it have a vast territory but yet a tiny population
The reforms that Batlle y Ordóñez introduced where the first in the world not only in latinamerica
Anyways great video, its not every day you watch a video about this small country
Muy buen reportaje, pero hubiese sido mejor que lo hallas traducido así por lo menos lo podía leer. De todos modos GRACIAS, una yorugua a la distancia 💛💙👄

Club Atletico Penarol was actually founded in 1891 under the name CURCC Penarol and then changed their name to C.A. Penarol.
Hey your information is wrong, Peñarol was founded in 1891 and Nacional in 1899
