Uzbekistan’s World Cup exit was ‘brutal’, says Cannavaro
Fabio Cannavaro described Uzbekistan's elimination from the World Cup as "brutal" after they failed to win any of their group games in North America.
Uzbekistan, making their debut at the World Cup, finished their Group K campaign with three defeats from three games, while also conceding 11 times and scoring twice.
Following defeats to both Colombia and Portugal, Uzbekistan's elimination was already confirmed ahead of facing DR Congo in their final group game at Atlanta Stadium.
