Uruguay's manager Deliver Message About Uruguay's Teams

“Our dream 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,” said Oscar Tabarez. “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.”

Full-time: Uruguay 0-2 France

Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeep! It’s all over - France book their place in the World Cup semi-finals, where they will face either Brazil or Belgium. They’ve won courtesy of two very soft goals – a header at a set-piece and a goalkeeping error – but were ultimately too good for a Uruguay team that desperately missed their talismanic striker Edinson Cavani. France advance, while Uruguay go home.
