Justice!

nothing says World Cup 2010 contest like a bad call involving one of the goals.

If the ball was touched by the player being offside, then yes. But it was not touched. So no offside. Referees don't just make bad calls only, you know.

He doesn't have to touch the ball to be offside; he's offside if the referee think he interferes with the play. I would say he interfered even though he didn't touch the ball but offside is always debatable in these cases.

In fact, offside is always debatable; it's a stupid rule, it's impossible to enforce and it's the cause of too many bad calls.

That is indeed the one rule in need of being canned! Do away with it once and for all and let them play!

what suarez did in that game is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in a football game.

And, if it's about justice, Appiah was offside even before Suarez put his hand, so actually Uruguay was robbed (cause they suffered a penalty in a illegal play and their player received red card).

Uruguay absolutelly deserved to be on the semi. And was AGAIN injured by a ref mistake.

It's funny how nobody mentions the fact that the Ghanaian player dived to earn a free-kick which led to the scramble in the box in the first place.

You're right about that. Why don't you just rename the game volleyball if you are fine with what he did?

the problem is volleyball already exists. Maybe suarez chose the wrong sport?

It's not a stupid rule. The offside rule is one of the reasons that make the game so dynamic.

A great article:

It's a pity Forlan won't play in the final. Most dangerous player in the World Cup?

Uruguay lost this game, therefore they won't play in the final.
