Manager Óscar Tabárez has coyly named Luis Suarez, Uruguay’s goalkeeper ahead of the Ghana match.
The Uruguay Sky Blues are in need of a win to advance to the knock out stages of the FIFA World Cup.
Diablo
“Nothing like a bit of mind games just before kick off, they already think he [Suarez] is el Diablo [the devil]“, the Uruguayan manager chuckled.
“We know Ghanaians are superstitious, me on the other hand, I am just a little stitious!”

Suarez on the other hand, has still refused to offer an apology for the 2010 FIFA World Cup handball incident which cost Ghana a semi-final spot.
The veteran striker infamously handled the ball, stopping a sure fire Ghanaian goal, in the final minute.
“Call me a devil! I dont give a fuck, at least a devils can score a penalties!”, El Diablo goaded the African Football Expert
