Uruguay eliminated from World Cup as Cape Verde qualifies

Uruguay has been eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup, with Cape Verde qualifying instead. This marks a significant upset, as it is the first time Cape Verde has advanced, while Uruguay's exit adds to Marcelo Bielsa's history of early losses in the tournament, reminiscent of Argentina's 2002 exit. Bielsa faced criticism for his decisions during the matches, including removing Fede Valverde prior to the hour mark. Following this disappointment, questions arise about Bielsa's future with the national team as he may have reached the end of his World Cup journey.
