Uruguay = The Denver Broncos

A man who needs no introduction in Denver

Edinson Cavani, AKA "El Matador."

Earlier this year, Uruguay became the first country in the world to legalize marijuana (as opposed to "de-criminalize" it like the Netherlands and some other European countries have done). Clearly though, weed was already quite prevalent among its footballers. Star striker Luis Suarez once had such a bad case of the munchies during a match that he tried to eat an opposing player.

A humorous response to the Suarez biting incident.

Suarez teaming up with PSG striker Edinson "El Matador" Cavani was supposed to give Uruguay one of the best attacks in the tournament, perhaps one that could compare to the record-setting offense Peyton Manning and company put up last year (except in the Super Bowl of course :D ). And La Celeste need to put up a lot of goals, because questions abound in Uruguay's midfield and once superb but now aging defense. Unfortunately, Suarez had knee surgery a few weeks ago, and is scrambling to regain his fitness. While he's in the team, Suarez is not in the Starting XI for Uruguay's first match against Costa Rica. As unlikeable as Suarez is due to the biting incident, the racial abuse of Patrice Evra, and the handball against Ghana in South Africa, he is a tremendous talent. If Suarez isn't fit, then Diego Forlán-- Uruguay's hero of the 2010 World Cup, but now 35 years old and several years removed from top level club football-- will have to shoulder far more responsibility, and one wonders how much he has left in the tank. They won't have much time to wait for Suarez with Italy and England challenging them in a very tough Group D.
