Quotes

Venancio Ramos, Uruguay coach
This win gives me less joy than it might because I'd have preferred to be in the final. But I told my players that we needed to believe in ourselves. Yesterday, we conceded a goal after nine seconds and today we conceded one after ten. That proves we still have to improve in the future.
