Muslera criticised after World Cup exit, Torreira steps in

Fernando Muslera is carrying the weight of Uruguay's World Cup elimination. The veteran goalkeeper has drawn fierce criticism after errors in the group-stage exit that saw your team manage just two points, and now Lucas Torreira has stepped in publicly to defend his former Galatasaray teammate (1). Torreira pushed back hard against the blame aimed at Muslera, calling the criticism excessive for a player who has given everything to the national team. Uruguay fell at the first hurdle in a campaign already marred by Bielsa's fractured dressing room, Ugarte's cruciate ligament rupture against Spain, and the lingering threat of bans for de la Cruz and Canobbio after ugly scenes.
