Muslera howler sets unwanted cup record, and social media pounce

Muslera howler sets unwanted cup record, and social media pounce In Guadalajara, Mexico, Spain are beating Uruguay 1-0 this Friday (26) in the third round of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Celeste’s partial defeat is also securing Cape Verde’s historic qualification for the World Cup knockout stage. La Furia’s winning goal came at the end of the first half and involved yet another grotesque mistake by goalkeeper Muslera. The veteran player’s error on Álex Baena’s harmless shot created an unusual situation because Sergio Rochet came on at halftime. Uruguay had never made a goalkeeper substitution during a World Cup match. Muslera is also the first goalkeeper since 1966 to make three errors leading to opposition goals in a single World Cup edition. On social media, of course, Muslera’s situation turned into a joke and a source of mockery. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
