Uruguayans were gracious in defeat after France ended their World Cup hopes today with a 2-0 quarter-final victory.
"France crushed Uruguay!" admitted Observador, one of Uruguay's main newspapers.
"They handed out a football lesson, dominating the light blues from the first minute to the 90th, and deservedly qualified for the World Cup semi-finals."
"Thanks lads!" said its title, before adding: "The dream is over."
