Raise your hand if you have heard of Nicolas Lodeiro. You have? Cool, us too. Apparently not everyone had before Copa America and those that had, outside of us here in the Lodeiro Fan Club, were unhappy an MLS player was named to the Uruguayan squad.

Their opponent, Japan, had a similar result in the first match, 4-0, except they were the zero.
