The end of the game between Uruguay and Ghana was electric, and even before the final whistle was blown, fans began to notice Luis Suárez's reaction to South Korea's win, a gesture that did not go down well among football fans.
The Uruguayan was shown to be in tears after South Korea scored their second goal against Portugal, but Suárez's reaction out of desperation gave fans a reason to mock the footballer, who has been involved in his fair share of controversial incidents and may have played his final minutes in a FIFA World Cup.
As time came close to ending, Suárez's tears increased, leaving some images that will be remembered as part of World Cup history.
Have a look at Suárez's reactions and eventual tears (Image might be geo-restricted).

And then, we have to take a look at the tweets that mocked Suárez and remembered all the "pretty" stuff he did in different World Cups. Needless to say, they were not as flattering as the ones we saw above.
Ghana fans now they're out of the World Cup but Luis Suarez is as well
