Confederations Cup 2013 semifinal: Brazil vs Uruguay - Top 5 players to watch out for

4. Diego Forlan

Diego Forlan

The veteran celebrated his 100th appearance for Uruguay with a crucial goal against Nigeria. He has been facing some harsh criticism along with manager Oscar Tabarez but he proved his mettle once again. Even in the game against Spain, which was largely a one-sided affair, Uruguay looked in better shape once he was brought on to the park. His energy and commitment on the pitch means that a lot more is being created offensively. He will probably start as a part of the three man forward string but the fluidity of the arrangement allows him to step back and create for the two strikers.
