I am glad Ghana lost,but something seems funny in the rules when a definite goal can be stopped via a handball and the team only gets a penalty. Penalties aren't guaranteed. If you had more officials or instant replay they could award a goal.
Ghana shouldn't have gotten past the group stage because of the bad call against kewell. Plus,they had an easy road in the knockout stages with the US and Uruguay compared to say Germany who had to play England and Argentina.
Only a pk? They get a pk AND a red-card for the opponent. The rules are more than fair.
Imagine if the episode happened in the first half. Uruguay would have played entire second half with one man less.
It is not the rules' fault that the ghanaians couldnt convert what was esentially a GIFT from the Ref.
That missed pk should NOT have happened. The free-kick in the last min of the game, which led to the handball by Suarez, that free-kick was a GIFT from the ref. The uruguyan player DID NOT foul the ghanaian player, the african took a dive and the ref gifted the free-kick, even though Im sure he saw that it was a dive. Even the negro-loving english commentators on ITV acknowledged that the ref should not have given the free-kick to Ghana. The post-game commentators on ITV said that it was a "disgrace" what Suarez did. What really was a disgrace was the gift free-kick which led to that dangerous situation.
Justice prevailed with that missed pk.
The ghanaians were pitiful in extra-time. The "superior" negro affletes were very tired, they faked numerous injuries, like they did in the extra-time of the USA game.
The better team was clearly Uruguay. They dominated the game apart from min 30-45 first half. They created more chances, unfortunately on a number of occasions, when the uruguyans players could have remained 1on1 vs ghana keeper, the last pass was too strong and the ball went straight to the ghana gk.
Ghana would not have even made it out of their group if not for two stupid mistakes by serbian players, One was Lukovic, who received red card after he fouled a ghanaian in a completely non-dangerous situation, and the other was the handball by Kuzmanovic in the 85 min. Dumb serbs, they had a great chance to get to the semifinals, and in the end they almost let africans get to that stage. Thanks Uruguay, thanks for keeping the affletes in their places.
