  • Patrice Evra was not too sympathetic with Luis Suarez after Uruguay's World Cup agony
  • The South Americans were booted out of the tournament despite a 2-0 win over Ghana
  • Frenchman Evra couldn't help but enjoy the heartbreak of his former foe in Suarez

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has sent fans wild with his social media activity, in the wake of Luis Suarez's emotional World Cup exit with Uruguay.

Suarez broke down in uncontrollable tears as Uruguay suffered elimination, despite beating Ghana 2-0 in their final Group H game.

But the South American giants failed to advance to the knockout phase due to scoring fewer goals over their three games at the Mundial.

Suarez, who was hooked off for Edinson Cavani during the second half, wept uncontrollably on the bench as the final whistle confirmed his nation's departure, in what is sure to be his final World Cup as a player.

Evra reacts to Suarez's pain

As the former Barcelona star's tearful image went viral, Evra made his feelings perfectly clear by 'liking' football brand 443's post showcasing Suarez's misery.

The Evra and Suarez feud

The former Manchester United defender and the Liverpool legend butted heads during their time in the Premier League.

The Uruguayan was accused of using racist language towards the Frenchman in a gigantic clash Manchester United and Liverpool at Anfield during the 2011/12 season.

The following season, during a clash at Old Trafford, furious Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand leading up to kick-off in another tense battle in the north-west.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side went on to win the game 2-1 and, in what went down as an iconic scene, Evra celebrated directly in front of Suarez after the final whistle.

Liverpool players were criticised for wearing T-shirts in support of the Uruguayan when the racism allegations were first made public.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Luis Suarez is still haunting Ghanaians after a moment of brilliance, in the first half of the game between the Black Stars and Uruguay.

A brace in the first half from Giorgian de Arrascaeta saw La Celeste take the lead before the half-time break.

Suarez has been the architect for the South Americans during the World Cup, with both goals coming through him.
