Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez is confident that his side will beat Argentina on Wednesday and gain direct entry to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

“We will come out to beat Argentina. We know that by claiming the three points we won’t need anything else. We can win and that is our main objective, to qualify directly for the World Cup,” said Suarez.

The Ajax Amsterdam star rates his team’s chances of defeating Argentina very highly, because they have been working hard to reach South Africa for two years now.

“We depend on ourselves, and even if they want to change their image, we think we are capable of winning. Both of us will be looking for the triumph, we expect a nice match with lots of emotion.”

Suarez understands what it means to face Argentina for Uruguay, and he hopes the home fans at the Centenario stadium will steer them into South Africa.

“We respect our rivals because we know the quality of the players in their team, but we are well, playing at home and with the support of the fans we will go for everything.”

The striker concluded, “We will win and qualify directly for the World Cup. For two years we have been fighting to book our ticket to South Africa 2010.”
