Darwin Nunez has said an emotional sorry to "all the Uruguayan people" after La Celeste crashed out of the World Cup on Friday night.
Giorgian de Arrascaeta scored twice as Uruguay defeated Ghana in a must-win game, but South Korea's last-gasp victory over Portugal saw them reach the last 16 at Nunez and Co.'s expense. Luis Suarez was left in tears as Uruguay were eliminated by the finest of margins, as they had an identical points and goal difference tally to South Korea but scored fewer goals in the group stage.
Ahead of the tournament, many regarded the South American giants, who are one of the most successful teams in World Cup history, as dark horses to go all the way in Qatar. With the likes of Nunez, Suarez and Edinson Cavani in attack and Federico Valverde in midfield, La Celeste boast plenty of individual quality.
