“'They robbed us, FIFA brings it against us; it was very evident that they wanted us to lose', said some players and, above all, fans of that team. Do me the favor! Who the hell is Uruguay before the world for FIFA to orchestrate a campaign to keep them out! Locate yourselves, charrúas, they are not Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France or even England… they are Uruguaaay! ”, he added.

“Players harassing the referees, Giménez hitting a FIFA member from behind, Cavani throwing away the VAR camera, Luis Suárez saying that they are bringing it against them… Don't they remember how they got to the World Cup? Have you already forgotten that they took a legitimate goal from Peru, a marker that scored the Incas? Just as the sensation in this World Cup is being Mbappé, the ridiculous and base and ridiculous has been Uruguay. Postscript How crybaby Uruguayans are!"
