TOO SOON
Inter Milan's Uruguayan midfielder Alvaro Recoba may be feeling a bit sorry for himself this morning.
Just before the second leg of his country's World Cup play off match against Australia he made the following modest claim:
"Uruguay has a divine right to play (in the World Cup). Uruguay is Uruguay."
This was probably a reference to the fact the tiny South American country won the competition twice - once in 1930 and again in 1950.
Sadly the Divinity didn't seem willing to provide on this occasion.
Although Uruguay won the first leg 1-0, the Aussies beat them by the same score in Sydney, drawing the tie on aggregate, before the Socceroos won the resulting penalty shoot out, sending them to the World Cup Finals for the first time in 32 years.
