COMMENTS

As in the 2002 Qualifications , the last match for Argentina was against Uruguay , and on both occasions Uruguay needed a favourable result to reach the 5th place and to then Playoff for a place in the World Cup.

In 2002 the match finished tied at 1-1, allowing Uruguay to clinch the 5th place. This received criticism from the media across South America , as Argentina, which had already qualified, played in an extremely relaxed fashion, some saying consciously favouring their friendly neighbour.

Mistrust arose again in 2005 when Uruguay needed a victory to avoid depending on the results of Colombia versus Chile . Even though Colombia won its match against Paraguay in Paraguay , Uruguay also won the match against Argentina, again reaching the position to playoff for the last place at Germany . Both Argentina and Paraguay had already qualified.

Unlike the Outcome In 2002 , Uruguay did not qualify for the 2006 World Cup, since it lost the Playoff Against Australia .
