If Liverpool's plan for a mid-season training camp in Dubai was largely dictated by the location of the World Cup, only one player involved in Qatar will really feel the benefit of that decision.
Darwin Nunez's first taste of the World Cup was bittersweet. It would no doubt have been a dream come true for the Uruguay international to lead the line alongside the iconic Luis Suarez in Doha, but the Liverpool strikers past and present endured an indifferent time.
Nunez was involved in one particularly sweeping move to help set up Giorgian de Arrascaeta in La Celeste's 2-0 win over Ghana in the final group stage fixture, but it was a generally frustrating time for the the Reds star and the Uruguayans in general as they were eliminated in dramatic fashion. South Korea's advancement on the metric of goals scored will likely rankle for some time for the South American nation.
