Uruguay's Struggles in Football
I want to tell you something, a reflection as a woman, since they say we don't know much about soccer.
FIFA is not interested in Uruguay winning. We don't sell jerseys, we don't sell tickets.
In a stadium of 80,000, there were 46,000 of us.
They had to leave us out. The only way to leave Uruguay out
was with referees who were never on our side,
they didn't award us the penalties we deserved, they awarded penalties against us.
The only time VAR calls for a penalty and they don't award it is to Uruguay.
The only way to leave us out was this. Why? Because economically, we are of no use.
We are a small, South American country of three million inhabitants.
Kisses to everyone. Go Uruguay!

Quiero decirles algo, una reflexión como mujer, que dicen que no sabemos mucho de fútbol. A la FIFA no le interesa que Uruguay gane. No vendemos camisetas, no vendemos entradas. En un estadio de 80.000, éramos 46.000 personas. Nos tenían que dejar afuera. La única forma de dejar a Uruguay afuera era con árbitros que nunca estuvieron de nuestro lado,
no nos cobraban los penales que correspondían, cobraban penales en contra. La única vez que el VAR llama a un penal y no le cobran es a Uruguay. La única forma de dejarnos afuera era esto. ¿Por qué? Porque económicamente no nos servimos. Somos un país chico, sudamericano, 3 millones de habitantes. Besos para todos. Uruguay no más.
