Spanish lyrics CHORUS: Orientales la Patria o la Tumba! Libertad o con gloria morir! Orientales la Patria o la Tumba! Libertad o con gloria morir! Es el voto que el alma pronuncia, Y que heroicos sabremos cumplir! Es el voto que el alma pronuncia, Y que heroicos sabremos cumplir! Que sabremos cumplir! Es el voto que el alma pronuncia, Y que heroicos sabremos cumplir! Que sabremos cumplir! Sabremos cumplir! Sabremos cumplir! Sabremos cumplir! 1. Libertad, libertad Orientales! Este grito a la Patria salvó. Que a sus bravos en fieras batallas De entusiasmo sublime inflamó. Libertad, libertad Orientales! Este grito a la Patria salvó. Que a sus bravos en fieras batallas De entusiasmo sublime inflamó. De este don sacrosanto la gloria Merecimos: tiranos temblad! Tiranos temblad! Tiranos temblad! Libertad en la lid clamaremos, Y muriendo, también libertad! Libertad en la lid clamaremos, Y muriendo, también libertad! Y muriendo, también libertad! También libertad! Tambén libertad! Chorus English translation CHORUS: Eastern landsmen, our country or the grave! Freedom, or with glory to die. Eastern landsmen, our country or the grave! Freedom, or with glory to die. This is the vow that our souls take And which we know how, courageously, to fulfil, This is the vow that our souls take And which we know how, courageously, to fulfil, Know how to fulfil, This is the vow that our souls take And which we know how, courageously, to fulfil, Know how to fulfil! Know how to fulfil! Know how to fulfil! 1. Freedom, freedom, eastern landsmen, This cry saved our country, Inflaming its brave men With enthusiasm in fierce battles. Freedom, freedom, eastern landsmen, This cry saved our country, Inflaming its brave men With enthusiasm in fierce battles. We merited the glory of this sacred gift. Let tyrants tremble! Let tyrants tremble! Let tyrants tremble! Ah, in the fight we shall clamour for freedom And, dying still cry for it, And, dying still cry for it, Still cry for it, Still cry for it. Chorus

Recent results

Newest first, from Uruguay's own point of view. Home and away are as the record stores them; a fixture the record does not mark neutral is listed as one side's home, which is right for a league round and wrong for a final played at a third ground.

Teams that play alike sit close together. The two axes hold 72% of the variation between teams. Component 1 (42%) rises with more average margin and win rate. Component 2 (30%) rises with more high-scoring matches and margin swing.

29 of 66 teams sit too close together to name without covering another team's point, so they are drawn unlabelled. Every dot is still a link to that team, and hovering one names it.
