This is why it is called World Cup. The Uruguayan schoolkids show why football unites. In those days in primary school when the bell rang, we would all jump out, “liberated” from the teachers, to catch food at home. In this video, Gimenez scored a 90th-minute winner against Egypt and began a mass party in a school in Uruguay.
This is what the World Cup is all about.
Uruguayan schoolkids gathered around a TV as their country’s Group A game against Egypt headed towards a close. It had, frankly, been a stinker of a match, but you could sense their expectation as a corner was being lined up…
And then, when Gimenez scored a 90th-minute winner, they absolutely went off.

This is the best video you’ll see today. School kids in Uruguay reacting to their late winner. More than a game. ??? #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/wvWh3fUUcG
