Ignacio Alonso, head of the Uruguayan Football Association, has criticized the referees at the 2022 World Cup group stage in Qatar.
Ignacio Alonso for A Bola
The two referees who made grave mistakes in our games will no longer officiate at the World Cup. There were also irregularities in other group matches. Someone just coughed next to Cristiano Ronaldo and they awarded a penalty.
Recall, the Uruguayans finished third in Group H and didn't qualify for the playoffs of the World Cup for the first time since 2006. Portugal is in first place with 6 points, while South Korea (4) surpassed the Uruguayans thanks to more goals scored. It should also be noted that Uruguay was the last team at the tournament in Qatar to score a goal.
