LUIS SUAREZ will play his final match for Uruguay after announcing his retirement from international football today during a tearful press conference at Montevideo’s Centenario Stadium.
Suarez said he will step down from the international squad after Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Paraguay and will approach the match with the same tenacity as he did in his first game back in 2007.
“I leave with the peace of mind that I gave everything for the national team until Friday. I have no regrets,” Suarez said.
