`We will beat Argentina`
It`s D-day for Uruguay and Argentina. On Wednesday night the South American giants will decide who will qualify for the World Cup 2010 directly. Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez is confident his country will succeed in qualifying: `We will beat Argentina.`
The difference between Uruguay, fifth in the rankings, and Argentina is only one point. The country that ends up fourth in the group grabs a ticket to South Africa while the fifth spot means a playoff against Cost Rica or Honduras.
Suarez, who plays alongside Diego Forlan in attack, realizes Uruguay has to win tonight.
`We need the three points, we know we can win and that`s our only goal.
`We don`t think about the playoffs, we want to qualify directly for the World Cup.`
The player from Ajax Amsterdam thinks the pressure is on Argentina.
`We respect our opponent but we are performing well lately and we play at home. With the support of our fans we will battle for the win,` added Suarez.
`Uruguay has fought two years for this and it`s time we reward ourselves.`
