Uruguay’s result depends on which match you mean, but in the current World Cup Group H context, a loss would likely put them in a very bad spot and could even eliminate them. Reports say a loss to Spain would leave Uruguay on two points and with little realistic path to advance, while a loss earlier to Cape Verde would leave them on one point and needing a near-miracle in the final match.

What it means

  • If Uruguay loses to Spain, they would probably be knocked out or left relying on unlikely tiebreaker/math scenarios.
  • If Uruguay loses to Cape Verde, they would be bottom of the group on one point and would almost certainly need to beat Spain to stay alive.
  • A loss changes the bracket picture too, because group position affects who they would face in the Round of 32.

Simple version

A loss usually means Uruguay’s path gets extremely narrow, or ends outright , depending on the exact opponent and the other Group H result.

Example

If Uruguay lose to Spain in the final group match, one report says they would likely be eliminated because they’d finish on two points with very little chance to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

TL;DR: in this tournament scenario, if Uruguay loses, they are very likely out or close to out.
