Uruguayans have two main religions: discussion and soccer. We can argueing about everything (especially about politics and soccer). So if you really want to catch our spirit, go to a bar, take a sit, have a cup of coffeee and begin to talk with anyone (even the waiter) about weather, economic situation, politics or last soccer match. Futbol (soccer) is the most important sport; well, actually it is not a sport, it is a religion; Montevideo has a population of 1:500.000, and nearly 20 Premier League soccer teams (and there is a Second League, an Amateur League, an Universitary League, a Children's League...) Montevideo has several stadiums; most important and famous is Estadio Centenario, where the First World Cup took place in 1930. While you are visiting Montevideo, spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon at Estadio Centenario, and feel the passion! Los uruguayos tenemos dos religiones principales: la discusión y el fútbol. Podemos discutir acerca de cualquier cosa (especialmente política y fútbol). Entonces, si realmente quieres captar nuestro espíritu, ve a un bar, toma asiento, pide un café y empieza a conversar con cualquiera (incluso con el camarero) sobre el tiempo, la situación económica, política o el último partido de fútbol.
El fútbol es el deporte más importante; bien, en realidad no es un deporte, es una religión; Montevideo tiene una población de 1:500.000 habitantes, y tiene cerca de 20 equipos de primera división (y hay segunda división, amateurs, liga universtaria, liga infantil...) Montevideo tiene varios estadios; el más importante y famoso es el Estadio Centenario, en donde tuvo lugar el Primer Campeonato Mundial en 1930. Mientras estás en Montevideo, pasa una tarde de sábado o de domingo en el Estadio Centenario... ¡y siente la pasión!
