The Copa America Centenario has not even begun, but the most crucial moment of Uruguay’s campaign may have already happened.
Approaching the hour mark in Barcelona’s Copa del Rey final clash with Sevilla at the Vicente Calderon in Madrid, Suarez stretched out his right leg to control a ball and, in doing so, injured his hamstring. He was already upset when he hobbled off, with Andres Iniesta consoling him, and that evolved into full-blown tears when slumped on the bench.
Suarez pulled his shirt up over his face, so the world could not see his tears.
