Bolivia vs. Uruguay
The second match in four days takes place this afternoon. Bolivia plays host to Uruguay in a match that is expected to attract more people to the stadium. All public employees will be dismissed at 3 p.m. in exchange of working through the noon hour. The good and bad news is that the sun is out in full force this morning. I head back to Cochabamba after the game, and will write more about my time in La Paz and other observations.
Uruguay has never beaten Bolivia in La Paz. Although the last time they met in 2000, it ended in a nil-nil draw.

Yes, they had a fair shot at the 5th place 1/2 berth, considering they had more home games than away games remaining.
But throw all that out the window after this afternoon`s tie.
