What time does the game start and how to watch it on TV and the internet
Ghana and Uruguay, protagonists of a heart-stopping confrontation in the quarterfinals of South Africa 2010, meet again at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, this time on the last date of the Group H phase that takes place this Friday.
Uruguay, which so far has a draw (0-0 against South Korea) and a loss (2-0 against Portugal), must beat Ghana in this match if they want to reach 4 points, stop the African team and advance until the round of 16.
It has in its favor that it plays against its direct rival to be able to qualify, but the prospects are not favorable.
If the selection of Luis Suárez and Federico Valverde beats the Africans and South Korea beats Portugal by a difference equal to or greater than that achieved by Uruguay, the sky-blue would be left out.
The Koreans have a better goal difference.
It is a more remote scenario, but possible.

What does Uruguay need to reach the round of 16?
The Portuguese team beat Uruguay 2-0 on Monday, in the match corresponding to the second day of Group H in the World Cup in Qatar.
With two goals from Bruno Fernandes, the Lucitanos took victory, which already automatically classifies them to the round of 16 of the tournament regardless of what happens in the last game of the group stage.
Uruguay, for its part, remained at the bottom of the group with 1 unit and a goal difference of -2.

The numbers of Luis Suárez with Uruguay
Luis Suárez, considered one of the best strikers today - and one of the most controversial - could play his last World Cup in Qatar.
Here, a review of his career with the Uruguayan team.
Suárez debuted in the senior team in 2007, in a match against Colombia.
Since then he has played 134 games with the sky blue, according to the statistics of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF).
The vast majority were wins: 64, against 39 draws and 30 losses.
Suárez has participated in three World Cups with the national team: 2010, 2014 and 2018. Uruguay's best performance in this triad was in South Africa 2010, when they reached fourth place after defeating Ghana in the quarterfinals, a game in which Suárez was the protagonist for stopping a ball with his hand that earned him the expulsion but "saved" Uruguay and helped him win the tiebreaker on penalties to go to the semifinals.

Uruguay - Ghana, a new crossing 12 years after a historic "battle"
Luis Suárez became a villain in Ghana, but a hero in Uruguay after the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals.
The quarterfinal match between Uruguay and Ghana at South Africa 2010 is widely viewed as one of the most iconic World Cup matches in history.
On a tense night in Johannesburg, this was a game that had it all: drama, controversy, heartbreak, a villain and a hero, by the way, both played by the same person.
Luis Suárez's role as Uruguay's savior that night made him persona non grata in Ghana, where he even earned the nickname 'El Diablo'.

How Uruguay, a small and sparsely populated country, became a factory of export soccer players

"All Uruguayans are born screaming for a goal and that is why there is so much noise in the maternity hospitals, there is a tremendous noise."
These well-known words by Eduardo Galeano summarize the football culture that has made a country of a few million inhabitants a veritable pool of stars.
However, they don't tell the whole story: behind the success there is also a fierce structure that makes children highly competitive from an early age.
A structure that makes it possible to identify the next Luis Suárez, Federico Valverde or Darwin Núñez... and that also leaves thousands along the way with invisible scars.
