It was a blessing to play with Suarez and Cavani for Uruguay. They helped raise the level of a generation that made history at the 2010 World Cup' Diego Forlan recalls his role in La Celeste's legendary attacking trident

"Cavani sacrificed the most because he played out wide. Suarez and I occupied the centre. Both of them were starting to break through in Europe and it was a blessing to have them in the national team, because they helped raise the level of a generation that made history."

"The trio plundered nine goals between them during the tournament, with five of these being scored by Forlan, who finished as the joint-top goalscorer in South Africa that summer."

"Almost unbeatable, he says of that run. We failed to qualify for 2006 in Germany, then suddenly in 2010 we were just one step from the final."

At the 2010 World Cup, Uruguay fielded a formidable attacking trio of Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez, and Edinson Cavani. This combination not only showcased individual talent but also remarkable chemistry, leading the team to the semi-finals. Forlan noted that Cavani played a crucial role by sacrificing his position to support the team. The trio scored nine goals collectively, with Forlan being the joint-top goalscorer. Their journey included victories over South Korea and Ghana, marking a significant turnaround from their failure to qualify in 2006.
