Uruguay national team cancels charter flight; players will return on their own

On June 28, the Uruguayan Football Association decided to cancel the charter flight for the national team and ordered the players to return to the country on their own. Yesterday, Uruguay lost to Spain in the final match of the group stage, finishing at the bottom of the group and making a disgraceful exit.

Before this World Cup, Uruguay was ranked 16th in the world and 2nd in Group H, second only to Spain. However, Uruguay's performance was very poor. In the first match, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia. In the second match, Uruguay was unexpectedly held to a draw by Cape Verde. In the final round, facing Spain, Uruguay lost 0-1.

In three group matches, Uruguay had 2 draws and 1 loss, earning only 2 points, ranking 3rd in the group, and it was confirmed that they could not enter the top eight third-placed teams, thus being eliminated early, failing to advance from the group stage for two consecutive World Cups. After the match, the anger of Uruguayan fans towards the team reached its peak.

Besides the disgraceful exit, Uruguay also suffered a scandal of internal strife. After captain Valverde was substituted, he did not speak with coach Bielsa, seemingly making their conflict public. Some media reported that many Uruguayan players were dissatisfied with Bielsa and joined forces with the FA's top brass to oust him.

The 70-year-old Bielsa had been in a bad mood throughout the entire World Cup. He often lost his temper during interviews and always kept his head down, as if filled with extreme dissatisfaction. Yesterday, he even publicly snapped at a reporter after the loss. Barring any surprises, Bielsa will part ways with the Uruguayan team, and his coaching career should likely come to an end.

The Uruguayan Football Association is dissatisfied with both the team's results and current situation. Journalists say the FA has decided to cancel the charter flight for Uruguay's return and let the players fly back on their own.

So, the "Sea Cucumber Team" should take heed—if they can't produce results, they should learn from Tang Sanzang and walk back 108,000 miles!
