Estadio Centenario is a stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay, used primarily for football. Built with a capacity of 100,000 not only to host several matches in the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup, including the final which was won by the host team, but also as a celebration of Uruguay's 100 years of its first constitution. It is listed by FIFA as one of the world's classic football venues along with Maracanã, Wembley Stadium, San Siro, and Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.[citation needed] The ground now has a capacity of over 76,000, with 65,000 seats.

The Uruguay national football team is always a threat when playing in their home stadium, consistently beating top teams. Even the top ranked Brazil national football team has only managed 2 wins in 20 opportunities, neither in official matches. Because of the Centenario's location next to other smaller stadiums, when Central Español and Miramar Misiones play home matches simultaneously, one can watch all three games from the top of the Amsterdam stand.[1]

I recall Sir Bobby Moore the west ham and England cap was accused From Teammate to Inmate In the months leading up to the 1970 Cup, a newspaper in Mexico, the host country, had billed the English squad as “a team of thieves and drunks.” So few were surprised when England’s team captain was arrested en route to the finals for stealing jewelry. While staying in Bogotá, Bobby Moore and a teammate visited their hotel’s jewelry shop. Shortly after leaving the store, the two players were approached and asked to explain the disappearance of a bracelet. Moore was put under house arrest. Following delicate diplomatic intervention, he was bailed out in time to play in the finals; the charges were eventually dropped. Unbeknown to the English players, accusing visiting celebrities of theft was a longstanding Colombian pastime. f
