Luis Suarez scored twice as Uruguay’s 2-1 win left England on the brink of elimination at soccer’s World Cup. Colombia defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 and 10-man Greece held on for a scoreless tie against Japan.
Suarez, who missed his team’s first game following May knee surgery, scored the decisive goal in the 85th minute yesterday. A long goal kick by Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera skimmed off the head of England’s Steven Gerrard and Suarez collected the ball before smashing it past Joe Hart into the net.
