MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - Uruguay may be resigned to having to face a playoff for their World Cup ticket but they take on Argentina on Tuesday with the incentive of protecting their high FIFA ranking to ensure that if they do make it they will be among the seeds in Brazil.
Argentina have already qualified and it would take an unlikely combination of results for Uruguay to snatch another of the automatic berths but victory in Montevideo should go a long way to keeping them ranked in the world's top eight.
