Gimenez, like many of his Uruguayan teammates, threw his toys out of the pram, as well as an elbow into the back of an official's head. Whoops.
‘Sons of b*tches’ – Uruguay star faces huge ban for elbowing referee in head before X-rated tiradeUruguay star Jose Gimenez could be handed a huge 15-game ban after he appeared to elbow an official after his nation’s exit from the World Cup.
The South American side were tipped by many to go deep into the World Cup in Qatar as dark horses for the tournament but failed to qualify for the knockout phase despite beating Ghana in their final group game. South Korea came from behind to beat Portugal and climb above Uruguay into second place to secure their passage into the last 16.Edinson Cavani punched a TV monitor on his way down the tunnelFurious over referee Daniel Siebert’s decision not to award Cavani a late penalty, Gimenez was seen elbowing a FIFA official in the back of the head during his attempts to confront Siebert.
It’s not clear whether that ban would translate into domestic football in what would be a huge blow to Atletico Madrid.Suarez said at the end of the game: “I see a penalty for Cavani because he is cut off by the defender and he puts his body in front of him. Darwin’s is very clear too. They are not excuses, but incredible penalties are being awarded in this World Cup. And there is the committee of referees and FIFA, and they have to try to explain themselves better, at least.
Instead of Uruguay it was South Korea who made it through to the knockout phase of the World Cup, and they’re set to take on Brazil on Monday evening.
