The US men’s national team have been knocked out of the Copa America overnight by Uruguay, however, the game was mired in controversy thanks to what appeared to be a huge error from the match officials.
Uruguay’s winning goal game 17 minutes from time, but as TV pictures would show, two of their players were offside.
Despite a VAR check which clearly showed the offside players, the match referee allowed the goal to stand.

UNBELIEVABLE ?
VAR rules that Uruguay's goal counts. On this frame, it looks offside to us. #USMNT #USAvURU pic.twitter.com/p74eBHyjbK

2 Uruguay players are clearly offsides on this goal.
They check the VAR and the ref takes forever to make a call.
