Rest of The Latin Americas Union

The rest of the Americas football includes all Latin American nations aside from Brazil and Argentina, mainly base on Uruguayan players. Arsenio Erico was a phenomenal star in the pre-war era but never got to play for Paraguay in official match. The first half 1970s is the golden era of this zone as many top-class Peruvian players such as Cubillas, Chumpitaz and Cueto plus Elias Figueroa who is the greatest defensive south American defender ever appeared in this era.
