Table shows the top clubs contributing to Uruguay's World Cup performances, covering the top 15 by minutes played.
This is very skewed towards domestic clubs, with Penarol and Nacional clear leaders. The top overseas club is Lazio, and Atletico Madrid fare well with 5 goals, courtesy of Diego Forlan's heroics in 2010. How times change; the 2014 squad is entirely comprised of players from outside the Uruguayan league.
