The president of the Uruguayan Football Federation, Ignacio Alonso, has lashed out at Cristiano Ronaldo in the wake of Uruguay's early exit from the World Cup last week.
Portugal qualified as the winners of Group H ahead of South Korea, who dumped Uruguay out of the tournament courtesy of a stunning 2-1 victory over Fernando Santos' side during a dramatic final round of group fixtures.
Uruguay had cantered to a 2-0 win over Ghana, but after blanking in both of their previous games, were eliminated on goal difference. With Uruguay chasing goals at the end of the game in a desperate bid to survive, they were left incensed after referee Daniel Siebert waved away two penalty appeals. Frustrations boiled over at the end of the match and resulted in unsavoury scenes.
