Three For Thursday: Uruguayans in MLS
The South American nation of Uruguay may be comparatively tiny ? its population is 3.5 million ? but it has always produced talent in numbers that belie its size, having won two World Cups and finished fourth in the 2010 edition.
From the great José Nasazzi in 1930 to Diego Forlán, winner of the 2010 Golden Ball, sons of Uruguay have always found a way to out-perform expectations.
MLS clubs have recently gotten in on the act, with D.C. United signing defender Rodrigo Brasesco in January and the Chicago Fire adding forward Gastón Puerari on Thursday.
