This World Cup in Qatar will remain a bad memory for Uruguay. The Albiceleste featured in Group H with Portugal, Ghana and South Korea and failed to qualify for the round of 16. Ignacio Alonso, the president of the Uruguayan football federation, did not fail to express his anger against the arbitration.
“The two referees who made serious mistakes in our games will no longer referee in the World Cup and in the other group games there have been irregularities as well. It only takes someone coughing next to Cristiano Ronaldo for him to take a penalty”in remarks taken up by the Portuguese newspaper In Bola. A new rant coming after a first salvo of criticism against the arbitration in the Uruguayan camp, Edinson Cavani having notably broken the VAR screen after the last match of his selection in Qatar.
