He could only look on as his side pushed for a crucial third goal and had a strong penalty shout turned down.
“Saying goodbye to a World Cup hurts a lot, but we have the peace of mind that we LEAVE EVERYTHING for our country,” Suarez wrote on Instagram.
“Proud to be URUGUAYAN although they DON’T RESPECT US. Thanks to each of the Uruguayans who supported us in every part of the world!”
Uruguay players were furious with the referee after their game against Ghana and there were ugly scenes as players crowded the officials to make their feelings clear.
