Uruguay Unveils New Aeolosaurini Titanosaur Species

Paleontologists in Uruguay have identified Mesetasaurus protector, a new aeolosaurine titanosaur from two exceptionally preserved tail vertebrae found in the Guichón Formation, placing it within Aeolosaurini alongside Argentine and Brazilian relatives. This suggests multiple titanosaur lineages inhabited present-day Uruguay during the Late Cretaceous, and the discovery, described online in Ameghiniana (July 8, 2026), expands the country’s sauropod record and may aid biostratigraphic dating through tail vertebra morphology.

Cape Verde Fight Back to Draw Uruguay as Pina Nets Historic Free-Kick

Cape Verde secured a 2-2 draw with Uruguay in Group H, with Kevin Pina scoring their first-ever World Cup goal from a 32-metre free-kick and Hélio Varela equalising after Uruguay had led twice. Uruguay opened when Cabral’s clearance hit the post and Araujo headed in, then Canobbio put Uruguay ahead after Araujo’s cross, before Varela netted to complete the comeback. Uruguay produced more shots and higher xG, but Cape Verde defended well and remain undefeated in their first two World Cup matches, sitting on two points alongside Uruguay ahead of their final group games against Saudi Arabia and Spain respectively.

Uruguay Poised to Pounce on Saudi Arabia in World Cup Opener

Uruguay Poised to Pounce on Saudi Arabia in World Cup Opener

Uruguay is favored to beat Saudi Arabia in their 2026 World Cup opener at Hard Rock Stadium, with a predicted midfield dominance from Bentancur, Ugarte, and Valverde and a likely two-goal margin (Uruguay -1.5 at +138; odds around -212 for a win). The match is expected to be low-scoring (Under 2.5 goals at -117) as Uruguay’s attack works without key contributors De Arrascaeta and possibly Gimenez, while Saudi relies on counter-attacks. Federico Valverde is highlighted as the most likely Uruguay scorer (about +225). Uruguay also list Araujo out and De Arrascaeta out, with Gimenez and Piquiérrez doubtful; Al Aqidi for Saudi is doubtful. Kickoff is 6 p.m. ET on June 15, 2026, in Miami, with a forecast of 28-30°C and possible thunderstorms that could disrupt play.
