Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa screams at reporter after World Cup elimination following goalie drama

Uruguay head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s frustration boiled over quickly after the final whistle.Following a 1-0 group-stage finale loss to Spain Friday night at Estadio Akron in Mexico that eliminated Uruguay from the World Cup, having needed at least a draw to stay alive, Bielsa couldn’t contain his emotions as he was about to do his pitchside interview.As a journalist paused before his or her question, the 70-year-old coach blew up, screaming “Get on with it!” per News.com.Sitting at 19th in the FIFA rankings, Uruguay is the highest-ranked team to be eliminated through Friday.The outburst likely could have been less about being eliminated from the international spectacle and rather more about how Uruguay lost to Spain.Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera dove to stop Alex Baena’s shot during the 42nd minute, yet despite hitting both hands against the ball, it was only a mere swat that helped the ball roll into his own net to give Spain their sole match-winning goal.Muslera screamed frustrations on the pitch after the blunder and took himself off at halftime.Bielsa confirmed after the match that Muslera asked to come off the pitch.He was replaced with Sergio Rochet.“No, I didn’t take [the decision],” Bielsa said.
