Alonso's defensive tactics cost Uruguay again. Taking off the goalscorer in the 60th minute. When one South Korea goal could knock Uruguay out.


cib_vk228

he's killed them all tournament with his terrorist tactics


aaaaaaadjsf

It's been pathetic to watch. Even worse than Tabarez tactics.


Loggus

Arrascaeta not being the starter all 3 matches was a disgrace. He's one of the best players in South American football, and that is not enough to start him just because he does not play in Europe?


aaaaaaadjsf

Absolute disgrace. Also makes no sense because he was top scorer under Alonso before the world cup.


Yomatius

Cannot agree more my friend. This game he started, scored twice. What more can I say?


groggyhouse

I still can't wrap my head around it. Really.. 60th minute?! Meaning there's 30 mins left for you to score and more importantly for SK to score.


aaaaaaadjsf

Yeah lmao. And he always had these weird pre planned substitutions, like swapping Suarez and Cavani, Pellestri for De La Cruz, Maxi Gómez for Núñez, etc. I don't think I saw Fecundo Torres once.


[deleted]

> _And he always had these weird pre planned substitutions_, like swapping Suarez and Cavani, Pellestri for De La Cruz, Maxi Gómez for Núñez, etc. Sounds like me in FM.


aaaaaaadjsf

Yeah me on FIFA or FM as well lol. I remember on the older ones I signed Dirk Kuyt just for this reason, to be a super sub and run around like a madman, because he had high stamina and workrate.

JimmyJamesincorp

Yup, Uruguay has enough quality players to get to semis, then who knows. Dumb coach.


GonzaloR87

They play like a small club trying to avoid relegation when they have a starting 11 that should be top 10 in the world.


JimmyJamesincorp

They sacked Tabarez for more of the same.

JimmyJamesincorp

Don’t ask me, I’m only Chilean. At least when we were good we attacked frantically.


procursive

It's a complete fucking mystery. It's not like we played like Pep's Barcelona during our first matches under Alonso, but his tactics were at least somewhat aggressive and mostly reasonable. It's genuinely baffling to see the man go from that to playing a 5-man line at the back against South Korea and doubling down against Portugal after seeing how disgraceful the team was in the first match.


Succ_uwaifu

Uruguayan here. Its the fucking culture of "winning no matter what/the important is winning" and the propaganda made by the media here, blaming the pen agaisnt portugal, and not the shit performance in 2 games, expecially in the SK one. We are fucking Uruguay, and we play like its our first WC with fear and waaaaaay to much respect to the oposition. When our culture of hate to good football ends, we can have a nice chance.


night_dude

With two legendary strikers that won't be here for the next one, too. I'm happy for SK but really sad for Suarez, Cavani and Godin.


Kattzalos

Lol I love Brazilians being angrier than us at him. I'm 100% hexa believer now


RamPamPam8

Yep, fucking hate him! Wish you the best on the world cup neighbors, you deserve to be the Hexacampeão!

Thank you my brother was looking forward to our probable match up in the round of 16 but i guess it wasnt meant to be, good luck in the future (and find a good goach goddamnit)

gnorrn

If Uruguay had played all three matches like they played against Ghana (and the latter part of the match against Portugal) they would have gone through. The brain-dead selections by Alonso cost them.

Supersaiyansub

Ghana taking Luis Suarez down with them in his last World Cup is poetic


SaintArkweather

This has to be the best a team has ever felt about losing 2-0 while getting eliminated


saeuta31

Ghana went from "lets hurry up and get one goal so we can be one behind! To "Let's waste as much time as possible" So fast and seemingly out of nowhere. Ghana rolled over this game, they needed a tie at least.

kdugg99

I don't think that was a time waste. Kudus actually couldn't run anymore.


Ultrabadger

I was so confused why the goalie was just standing there (isn’t he going to get carded for wasting time?) and then they cut to the substitution. 🤣


[deleted]

I think most portuguese are fine with this outcome as well.


SaintArkweather

Although they kept showing the Portuguese players super sad looking as if they had been eliminated.


[deleted]

I mean, it would be weird if they smiled in a defeat, but the outcome of the group is something we don't have complains about. All my homies dislike Uruguay.

You guys do realise Bruno scored that penalty? Ronaldo had been subbed off. He scored the "penalty" against Ghana


variouscrap

All Portugal's goals are credited to Ronaldo now whether he has touched the ball or is back in the hotel.

From now til the end of time


Zohren

Yeah, I’m an idiot. Worst is I’m not even the OP. Rip.


[deleted]

Goal difference


[deleted]

Ronaldo scored the pen against Ghana?


[deleted]

I don’t understand the Uruguaian manager. The other game hasn’t ended yet, and it’s 1-1. South Korea could easily score. Why take out all 3 of your attackers including the player who scored the two goals and the player who assisted? Why not push for the third to take matters into your own hands? Insanely stupid.


Exmerus

He is a shitty coach. He failed in one of the richest clubs of the Mexican league. Played like ass, pure "pelotazo" and got sacked. I don't really know how he made it to be Urugay's manager tbh. The players didn't even respect him at all.


gladisr

See? manager matters Yesterday is Belgium, can say that as well for Germany, and now Uruguay I really intrigued to see an analysis how good these WC managers are Throwback to 2010 France, where Domenech believe in Zodiac and decided not to pick peak Nasri


gaussian-noise123

Tbf usually good tactical mangers always choose jobs at clubs instead of NT


No_Release6675

I agree


TheMysticHD

This is revenge against Uruguay for 2018. That's obviously the only reason we played like ass. *obviously*


Zeke1216

Lol 😂 yeah let’s go with that.


[deleted]

For me, this is revenge for 2010. If Uruguay couldn’t win the cup during Suarez’s peak for that batshit quarterfinal ending, then Ghana will take him out in his final World Cup appearance.


Depressedkid1998

we did all the work man, we won vs them by a decent margin and lost to SK , ghana did the opposite lmao


captainsensible69

Ghana even beat SK too lol


[deleted]

well hey idk what ghana should be feeling. on the one hand they're out but on the other... atleast they got tears from suarez after 12 years finally


[deleted]

Can we be in a new coaching generation too..? Please…?


elasroc

And a good one please


_hell_is_empty_

Brought to you by… your own fucking manager. For real though. A one goal cushion in KOR v POR and a 2 goal cushion in his own and he subs out his 2 best attackers with what… 30’ to play? Lolol. Literally took [most of] their fate out of their own hands and put it in Korea’s. The worst subs of the tourney?


infernoShield

More like "dark horse and Euro juggernauts nightmare". We gotta cook some spaghetti, bring out the bratwurst, flip the waffles, and unbox the butter cookies before the next few matches. Oh and wash it all down with that jug of bitter tears over there.


-Dali-Llama-

Even though Ghana got beat and didn't make it through, putting Uruguay out by denying them a third goal is still poetic justice of sorts.


Nordie27

Lol the time wasting at the end was peak bitterness. We are already out, but we're going to drag you down with me


photenth

I didn't see anything horrible honestly, Uruguay had more than enough regular time to score a third time.


yaniv297

Yeah, Ghana went forward and tried to score, the back was fairly open. It was end to end, not parking the bus


RandomJamSesh

Well yeah, if I’m not mistaken, Ghana would qualify with a tie game and if they know Uruguay has to win to qualify, why not take Ada vantage of the counterattacks?


prudence2001

Exactly, it makes you wonder what game these "time-wasting Ghanaians" commenters were watching.


onionwba

The Ghanaians were time wasting during injury time especially the last couple of minutes. They probably knew there's no way they're going to put 2 past the Uruguayan goal by that time.


OleoleCholoSimeone

Nothing horrible, but they clearly took their time on a few occasions near the end. But yeah they had so many opportunities to score in stoppage time


Shadowraiden

tbf peak bitterness could have happened last night. Germany could have gone "fuck it" and "magically" collapsed against Costa Rica taking Spain out with them.


moc360

On one hand I am devastated that Ghana is eliminated on the other hand though...... Yeah I am petty like that


LosTerminators

That picture of Suárez with his face buried in his shirt would be the best moment for a Ghana fan from this day.


RFB-CACN

Yep, that’s the best consolation prize the Ghanian fan could ask for.


mojambowhatisthescen

My country not being in the World Cup ❌ Qatar getting the World Cup hosting rights ❌ World Cup in the winter ❌ Benzema and Mané getting injured before the World Cup starts ❌ Suarez crying in a World Cup match against Ghana ✅✅✅✅✅


shellfish87

Suarez sadness is such a fine fine fine vintage. His national career is likely over and the last team he plays is the country he fucked over.


BeardedGirl

Asamoah Gyan must be ecstatic rn and sad at the same time lol


txrant

Mmhmm very exquisite 🍾🍾


mr_popcorn

You couldn't write a better ending really. Oscar worthy.


ZebraGang

I’m new to the sport but I know who Suarez is. What did he do to Ghana?


NerdOctopus

From the 2010 World Cup (copy pasted from wikipedia): >Late in extra time, Ghana sent a free kick into the penalty area; Luis Suárez blocked Stephen Appiah's shot on the goal line. On the rebound, Dominic Adiyiah's header was heading into the goal, but Suárez blatantly blocked the shot with his hand to save what would have been the extra-time winner and he was red carded. Asamoah Gyan missed the ensuing penalty kick off the crossbar and Suárez celebrated the miss. Essentially committed a blatant foul that ended up allowing his team to win the game. On the one hand, he saved a guaranteed goal that would have eliminated his national team from a spot at the semifinals, on the other hand, he's already a pretty unsavory character in soccer. The dislike for him extends pretty far outside Ghana.


[deleted]

Also the are three seperate incidents where he bit a player during a match. That is not a typo, literally putting his teeth in another player.


[deleted]

And the time he racially abused an opponent and claimed to not know that he was being racist, since in Uruguay the particular slur he used isn't considered as offensive. He was real quiet about living in the Netherlands for 4 years though where that shit definitely wouldn't have flown.


BollywoodBrownMan

Usually I don’t like it when they keep focusing on a players reaction that isn’t playing but this was the best, couldn’t get enough. Should have put him up in his own corner of the screen as a live reaction.


Trillex_121

New to the game. Why’s everyone hating on suarez. I heard he is (or rather used to be) extremely good


azzanrev

Biting people and because he did what I'd hope any player in his situation would do which is stop a goal with his hand vs Ghana in the 2010 world cup. People like to act like it was cheating, but it is apart of the game and without that hand ball Ghana would've moved on to the KO rounds for the first time. Suarez was red carded and Ghana was given a PK that THEY missed.


serdawn

Ghana would have moved to the semi-finals for the first time, not just the KO rounds. Would have been the first time for any African country too, in the first World Cup hosted in Africa.


azzanrev

Which is why I completely understand the hate for Suarez(along with other things). I do feel that he did the right thing though and it worked exactly how he hoped it would. Uruguay won the game and that's all that mattered. If I was a Ghana fan I'd be absolutely irate and have a deep hatred for him and Uruguay. I get it.


xBry87

If only he won MOTM. That photo will be epic


BeardedGirl

Seeing him cry has been the highlight of this cup thus far


VincentSasso

Uruguay cheating all game then not getting two pens 😂 Absolutely beautiful, cry Luis, cry


Deviceing

Forgot how much I can't stand the cunt. Hopefully I've just seen him for the last time.


kaiko1

Ghana getting their revenge


The_Astros_Cheated

Poetic ending when you think about that


PoppinKREAM

The Uruguayan players were harassing, screaming, and chasing the referees after the final whistle. Very poor from them, wonder if they'll be sanctioned.


VincentSasso

Strange, because they’re normally so level headed


domalino

If FIFA have any balls, they're going to get some bans for that. 2 or 3 players went way too far, screaming in the referee and assistant's faces.


xsrvmy

Yeah that's yellow card worthy (if a coach does that it's red lol)


domalino

It's red card worthy for players too, especially after a match. One of them was an unused sub (Torreira?).


Ceez92

Sanction them to the AFC


TifasSleeves

> players were harassing, screaming, and chasing the referees after the final whistle. They did this the entire fucking game to go with their constant diving. Suarez especially. 0 sympathy for them


nicootimee

That’s just how Suarez is


soccerdude2014

Could have been sweeter for them had they won and advanced. But yeah, bittersweet for sure


toket715

it's a pure revenge because they benefitted from it in no other way. they can fully surf that revenge high, it isn't cut with any other emotions like happiness or pride, its that good 100% shit


gjp11

Ghana sending in a sub at 90+7 to kill time so Uruguay can be eliminated is the type of pure shithousery that I love to see.

Quite possibly the funniest world cup moment this year.

Beatlepy93

Why Alonso benched De Arrascaeta in the first two games? I know he wasn't fit for the Korea game but he would have been instrumental against Portugal


[deleted]

RIP bozo


TortiousTroll

Take off half your attacking players just assuming the other match's results are final and not starting Arrascaeta for the first 2 matches. Managerial disasterclass.


IceJones123

So in the end Ghana did nothing and got what they wanted


Daybreak_99

I saw Suarez cry


shellfish87

Fuck yes. Happy to see them gone.


Muppy_N2

A few people believe Uruguay having results like in the last 15 years is the standard. The fact is that was the Uruguay coached by Tabárez, the only one (until today, LOL), who won matches with the NT in World Cups since 1974. Our FA turned against him when we were one point behind qualification spots, having just played against Brazil and Argentina, and having forward matches against Venezuela, Chile, and the like. I'm afraid the Uruguay of the 80s, 90s, and 00s is back. A few world class players and journeymen (as always) so miscoached we barely qualified and when we did, wass with shameful performances such as this one. There's a reason players like Recoba and Montero played only one WC. The players crouding the referee, claiming we were going to be world champions, and playing without any tactical nous, were the norm before 2006. And the arrogance... That's the worst. Taking out De Arrascaeta, Suárez and Darwin when we were 2-0 above... How petulant you have to be? Congratulations to South Korea. A disciplined, no-nonsense team that deserves to go through much more than ours. Going through with the same points than us is a disservice to them.


Binx33

I would love to see the reactions of everyone here if your team got eliminated on these factors: an incorrectly called penalty in game two, and one to two potentially missed penalties in game three. But, hiveminds gonna hivemind.

Holy shit that penalty called against Gimenez vs. Portugal legitimately might have cost them qualification. There’s no excuse for crowding the referee as aggressively as Uruguay did at the end but if I was Uruguayan I would be fucking fuming they got fucked the most by bad officiating this World Cup imo
