Luis Suarez is enjoying a beautiful vacation with wife Sofi Balbi as a means to overcome World Cup heartbreak in Qatar.
The Uruguayan striker took to his Instagram account to post pictures of his lovely family with caption in Spanish: “Thank you @siyamworld for making family moments amazing❤️🌊🌞.”
Hwang Hee-Chan’s goal for South Korea against Portugal in overtime which helped the Korean side beat the Portuguese side sent Uruguay out of the group stage despite beating Ghana 2-0, and Luis Suarez broke down in tears as he sat on the Uruguayan bench.
Suarez, who was substituted during the game, was visibly upset as he hid beneath his jersey in the dugout with tears in his eyes and helplessly observed as his team made a shocking early exit.
In Uruguay’s final Group H match against Ghana, the former Liverpool and Barcelona great gave Giorgian de Arrascaeta two assists to put Uruguay up 2-0, but it wasn’t enough to advance Uruguay.
Uruguay felt they had fought their way back into the round of 16 after losing 2-0 to Portugal and drawing 0-0 with South Korea in their opening two matches. However, they were eliminated because they had scored less goals.
Instead of feeling sorry for the illustrious forward, Twitter users quickly expressed their schadenfreude.
The 35-year-old has long held the title of one of football’s most infamous pantomime villains. At the 2014 World Cup, he is infamous for biting Italian Giorgio Chiellini.
Suarez, who had been a part of his nation’s two-pronged strike-force alongside Edinson Cavani for a number of years and had appeared at four finals, has probably played in his last World Cup in Qatar.
There were those fans who were quick to defend the Nacional striker, presumably out of appreciation for his performance in the game.
Suarez’s team defeated Ghana, which was out for vengeance after its infamous match in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals in South Africa.
Asamoah Gyan missed the game-winning penalty after Suarez was dismissed for using his hand to divert a shot off the goal line in 2010. Suarez then celebrated in the tunnel as Gyan’s attempt hit the bar in the dying seconds of the match.
