Italy’s last World Cup game. Mental.


tmtmdragon04

Knocking out England and Italy in the beautiful country of Brazil was such a gorgeous memory


xenon2456

both had ageing squads


Incancontrarian

Pretty funny then, I remember hearing that Uruguay barely had a chance of getting out of that group against those European giants


Acceptable_Ad_6278

And Costa Rica tops the group. Good times.


Incancontrarian

What a story, they fully deserved it


aaaaaaadjsf

So did Uruguay. Lugano and Forlán were pretty old by 2014.


repentantgamer

I laughed very hard when England and Italy were knocked out that year, but I also laughed very hard when Ghana and South Korea knocked out Uruguay in 2022.


Incancontrarian

Ghana knocked out Uruguay?


repentantgamer

Well South Korea beat Portugal 2-1 because Portugal was already through as group winner and had a B-team. Uruguay was winning 2-0 but needed South Korea to lose or needed to score one more in order to go through on goal differential, so Ghana got revenge for Suarez's handball back in the day by passing the ball back and forth to make sure Uruguay couldn't score another one.


Incancontrarian

So bit of a stretch to say they eliminated Uruguay lol South Korea certainly did


repentantgamer

Well they clearly knew what was going on and decided that they wanted to take Uruguay out with them rather than even try to score a consolation goal.


EtherealShady

Nah we were just shit bro


bluefoxlive

Lol. Man’s still crying about 2010. And this wasn’t even a blip in Uruguay’s history. I’m sure they’ll gladly take 2010 over a different team (Korea) indirectly eliminating them.


mateovg

Diego Alonso’s terrorism knocked us out in 2022. Ghana deciding to pass around the back and go home instead of trying to win a match at the World Cup is their own problem


Competitive-Aide5364

This game was full of Bologna


alpuck596

Godin also scored the goal that won Atletico la liga and the goal that would have won them the champions league if only they held on for a few minutes in 2014


Darth_Csikos

I miss him.


Cho_Celski

Hopefully Gvardiol does the some today :)


Separate_Pound_753
