Uruguay remain goalless at the World Cup and must find their form against next opponents Ghana in a re-run of one of the most infamous games in World Cup history if they are to progress to the next round of this tournament.
Despite possessing the attacking riches of Darwin Nunez, Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, the South Americans also failed to score in their opening 0-0 draw with South Korea. In that game, Suarez handballed on the line in the dying minutes and was sent off, only for Ghana to miss the subsequent penalty then lose a shootout. That deprived them of becoming the first African team in history to reach a World Cup semifinal.
Suarez was cast as the villain of the drama — and 12 years later is in the Uruguayan squad and may well line up again against the Africans.“For us, it’s a different history,” Alonso said, trying to play down the historic resonance of that game. “They are looking for qualification, us too. It has nothing to do with what happened years ago.
