A landmark moment in our 22-year-old Designated Player’s career, Orlando City UK gathered the best tweets following the official announcement from the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF).

It was nowhere near guaranteed that Facundo Torres would be on this roster.
He had to earn it through sheer force of talent and will. He had to become undeniable.
And now, @facutorresss is World Cup-bound: https://t.co/EFq9Vg5WDm

Thank god they didn't just choose a bigger name or bigger club player over him. He fully deserves to go.
