Uruguay has continued a 56-year pattern of failing to defeat teams making their first appearance in the FIFA World Cup. Excluding the 1930 World Cup, *La Celeste* has faced six debutant national teams, achieving an overall positive record against all opponents, but consistently losing to those new to the competition. This ongoing streak represents a notable historical anomaly for the Uruguayan national football team. The specific details of the six matches were not provided in the source text, only the overall trend. This extends a frustrating run for Uruguay, highlighting a specific weakness against first-time World Cup competitors. The historical record indicates a consistent inability to secure victory in these particular encounters.
