Luis Suarez double Dim England's Hope of Progressing Group Stage after Uruguay Victory

Luis Suarez could not help but gloat after inspiring Uruguay to a crucial 2-1 World Cup victory at the expense of England.

Liverpool striker Suarez grabbed the second of two opportunistic goals in the 85th minute of a tense Group D battle in Sao Paulo after Wayne Rooney had looked to have rescued a point for England with a 75th-minute equaliser.

The defeat leaves England, beaten 2-1 by Italy in their opening match, needing a miracle if they are to avoid failing to reach the second round of a World Cup for the first time since 1958.

"We are more then disappointed, we're devastated," England manager Roy Hodgson said after the loss, describing his side's chances of remaining in the tournament as "unbelievably slim."

"To be sure of continuing we needed a result today, a draw or a victory, and we didn't get it," he added.

Suarez was held aloft by his teammates at the final whistle, admitting afterward this was a moment he had dreamt of.

"Yes, I dreamed of this," Suarez said. "It was something I imagined many times but I had to calm myself down."

Despite the elation of victory, he felt the pain of Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard.

"I told him to keep going," Suarez said. "He's the best player I've played with on the pitch.
"This is an unlucky moment for him. I don't like it when he hurts like this. I said 'Keep going, forget this game, you're one of the best.'"
