It was heartbreak for Uruguay and it’s fans after their team bowed out of the World Cup following a 2-0 loss to France in the quarter-final.

Uruguay’s players were dejected after their loss with many players crying including Atletico Madrid centre-back Jose Gimenez, Luis Suarez, and goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

Uruguay’s coach Oscar Tabarez had some kind words to say for his players after the match, even though they ended up on the losing side.

“Our dreams comes to an end but the fact that the World Cup is over doesn’t mean that we can’t do well in the Copa America,”

The Copa America is scheduled to happen in Brazil in 2019, and Uruguay will be one of the favorites to win it after their stellar performance at this World Cup.

Tabarez further added, “We have new dreams which we will try to make come true. We are sad, we feel it, but we have to move on. Many countries in the football elite left this tournament much earlier than we did. Let’s not be too dramatic, this is our reality”.
