When it comes to Uruguay, the first thing to say is its air quality, because there are no heavy industry factories in their country, mainly for two reasons, the first is because the laws of their country do not allow the construction of heavy industry and related factories, and the second is that Uruguay's industrial base is very weak, and local cars are said to be imported from abroad, so it is difficult to see smog and dust in Uruguay. Uruguay's infrastructure, compared to other countries, is very backward, they do not have a lot of high-rise buildings, full of old low houses, the most typical is European classical architecture, most of the roads are very narrow, even the city is very narrow one-way street. But it is this idyllic scenery and excellent air quality that many industrial countries cannot reach, so Uruguay also has the nickname "Switzerland" in South America.

World Cup in Uruguay
Uruguay is traditionally one of the top three in South America, having won the World Cup twice in 1930 and 1950, as well as two Olympic football titles (1924, 1928). At the Copa America in Argentina, which ended in July 2011, Uruguay won the Copa America for the 15th time, surpassing Argentina (14) and Brazil (7). This stems from Uruguayan's love for football, which is the number one sport in the country, and the popularity of football in Uruguay is quite high, and almost everyone can play two feet on the field. When I think of continental football, I have a long way to go.
