Suarez must be incredibly happy he hand-balled that...
To someone who is a rugby fan like me, that is just horrible. In rugby Suarez would've received a card as well, but the referee would then go on and give a penalty try under the posts.
I knew Ghana had to win it in the first 2 hours. The African sides just aren't precise enough to win on penalties...

That was just disgusting.

suarez did the right thing, now he misses the first semi final of a world cup uruguay has been in, in decades. it wasn't cheating imo.
any rugby player would've done the same in the hope that they missed the kick.
the better team won though.

Rugby I can understand and it's fun to play but cricket?
Originally posted by trev33Agreed. Suarez did the right thing for his team, he was punished, Ghana blew it themselves, and the better team won. End of story.
