Son Heung-min reveals he told South Korea team-mates 'I'm f***ing proud of this team' as they watched nerve-wrecking end to Uruguay's win over Ghana which sent Asian side to last-16 of the World Cup

Son Heung-min has revealed details of his x-rated speech to his South Korea team as they endured the longest six minutes of their lives, watching the live stream of Uruguay's game against Ghana.

Tottenham striker Son inspired the Koreans to a brilliant late winner against Portugal at Doha's Education City Stadium on Friday, carrying the ball for half the length of the pitch in the first minute of stoppage time to set up Hwang Heechan for the second in a 2-1 win.

Then they huddled around phones, watching the live stream of the Uruguayans finishing their final Group H game aware that another goal for the South Americans, who were winning 2-0, would have sent them through to the last 16 and sent South Korea home.
