Uruguay captain Luis Suarez commented on the departure of his team from the 2022 World Cup, despite the victory over Ghana (2: 0) in the final round of the group stage.
“The penalty awarded in the moment with Jimenez in the game against Portugal hurt us because the goal difference factor affected. The same can be said about the moment with Nunez, but in the opposite direction.
FIFA and the refereeing committee should explain the basis for their decisions to award outrageous penalties. We didn't get two penalties in the match with Ghana. However, this is not an excuse.
After the game, I wanted to see my children, but FIFA representatives refused me. Although the children came to the bench for the football player of the French national team.
It seems that Uruguay needs more influence. FIFA is always against Uruguay,” Suarez said.
