GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP):
Coach Marcelo Bielsa looked desolate after Uruguay's World Cup campaign ended in disappointment Friday, saying he was fully responsible for the team's elimination and blaming himself for leaving nothing good for Uruguayan football during his stint with the national team.
Uruguay lost 1-0 to Spain, leaving the tournament without any victories. They were coming off draws against Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. It was newcomer Cape Verde that advanced from Group H in second place behind Spain.
