Hard truth for Uruguay is that they never deserved to go through. Outside of the first half today they were horrible. Their manager was pretty stupid throughout too, never fielded his best players even when it was clear to see who was Uruguay's best eleven. Then went on to rest his players thinking the game was won, without any consideration for the possibility that Korea could win.

Agreed, Uruguay definitely didn't deserve to go through. They'd been rubbish in their previous games. It's a shame Ghana couldn't have drawn/won to get through instead.

Congrats to Korea, great to see Asian teams doing well! Although I think Uruguay, despite how poor they've been thus far, would've had the best chance of actually beating Brazil in the next round. I think Brazil beat Korea (or Ghana if that had happened) relatively easily. I'd certainly be happy to see an upset and Son in a WC quarter final though.
