Luis Saurez blasts FIFA

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Barcelona forward Luis Suarez launched a furious rant at FIFA following Uruguay’s heartbreaking World Cup exit.

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 having scored fewer goals over their three games at the Mundial.

Friday’s results meant Portugal topped Group H while South Korea and Uruguay both finished on four points, with the former going through having scored more goals during the group stage.

Uruguay players were furious with German referee Daniel Siebert for failing to award them a penalty late in the game.

Suarez's long-term strike partner Edinson Cavani was brought down in the box by Ghana's Alidu Seidu but the challenge was not even reviewed by VAR.
