Tacuarembo are in real trouble now
Position 12, 24 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

The season belongs to Diego Méndez
An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Tacuarembo have had the benefit of it.

Pablo López was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Tacuarembo buy the years ahead of Benicio Gómez
He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Tacuarembo will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
