Cavani criticized CONMEBOL and the Copa America via:
@2dePuntaOficial
"The Copa América should not be played in Colombia. Conmebol is thinking only of money, & doing the government a favour by covering up with football all the ineptitude that it has caused in recent years."
🎙 Marcelo Bielsa has angrily denounced potential sanctions for
@Uruguay
• "There was no prevention, nor an escape route... They failed. How can you not defend your mother, your wife, your baby? I am afraid of sporting revenge. What sanction are they talking to me about? This
Powerful words by Luis Suarez who is in tears now -
“I am grateful to this great club. Barcelona looked down on me and my family suffered a lot. This title is special. Messi will be happy for me”

Thank you eternally Marcelo Bielsa, who has ended
@CBF_Futebol
's 🇧🇷 historic 37 match unbeaten streak with Uruguay
• La Celeste's first win vs. Brazil since 2001
Marcelo Bielsa has led Uruguay to beat both historic rivals (Argentina and Brazil) in back to back matches for the first time since 1959
He has done something historic in only his 5th official match with Uruguay
Luis Suarez was invited to the Arena do

Despite this child allegedly being born in the USA, and never having been to Uruguay, he was very emotional with his father during the anthem and to watch La Celeste
It’s a connect to a history and football culture that transcends geographic limitations
A fan decided to offer Marcelo Bielsa an umbrella
• Fan: “Marcelo, I think it's appropriate to come and place the umbrella.”
• Bielsa: “What I'm going to tell you is, ‘What good company. Stay.’ But actually, I want the umbrella to stay!”
It wasn’t Luis Suarez, but another Uruguayan, Felipe Carballo, who settled the Grenal clasico 🇧🇷:

Leeds United supporters had messaged me saying that they loved watching Bielsa's football, win or lose
• I was captivated from minute 1 to 90. And Bielsa's passion/commitment is just fantastic.

One of the moments of the match was seeing Marcelo Bielsa clearly yell out to Manuel Ugarte: “Release it (the ball), the c**t of your mother!”
• “La concha de tu madre” is a common expression shared between Uruguay and Argentina’s dialects
One of the craziest moments of the match was seeing Manuel Ugarte call Rodrigo De Paul a “mamadera” (bottle feeder) of Messi (while doing a blow job gesture)
“Mamadera” in Argentina/Uruguay is an insult, implying he’s a suck up
If I'm not mistaken, I believe
