A penalty and a red card is the punisment for the fault ("cheating")taht´s the rule.<br /><br />Uruguay plays with the hard and thats soccer.

In this case, you have done something which is not allowed by rules, and it was punished. Or, if a player runs alone to the goal line and a defender fouls him for not to score, you will call him cheater ???? No way. This hand is like a foul when you are last man. And that's it. It has nothing to do with the goal not validated to England, although it was a uruguayan referee, and that's why i think england people are so angry and call it cheat.Ricardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561264719524356633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-23201151131789259772010-07-03T22:06:59.015-04:002010-07-03T22:06:59.015-04:00And to think, FIFA actually considered overextendi...And to think, FIFA actually considered overextending its authority by banning Suarez for more than one match:<br /><br />http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5giOJeREzobrWyByvSDWxvgxPHawQ<br /><br />Anyway, thanks to everyone for their respective comments and tune in on Sunday for our latest "World Cup Review" we we might discuss:<br /><br />* how the real hero for Uruguay isn't Luis Suarez;<br />* the silver lining to Brazil's quarterfinal loss;<br />* who won't be stripping nude to celebrate their country's team.Erwin C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15962556587313982096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-18507512500615322822010-07-03T21:38:46.568-04:002010-07-03T21:38:46.568-04:00Suarez violated the rules and he was red-carded fo...Suarez violated the rules and he was red-carded for it, the max punishment allowed under current rules. <br /><br />Bloggers have gone on as to why he did it, giving all sort of convoluted reasons (and rationales). Thing is, you're young dude, exhausted after 90 mins of WC play and you're the only thing between the ball and a cetain goal. I would have put my hand up, too.<br /><br />Bloggers have also talked about future rule changes that would give automatic goal to attacking team (in this case, Ghana) if hand is used in situation like this. Fair enough, but that's possible future option, not what existed yesterday...Tambopaxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978665666431987347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-15125977764862603512010-07-03T19:57:30.236-04:002010-07-03T19:57:30.236-04:00Well he did cheat but got a red card for it.

I was rooting for Ghana and I feel very bad that they lost but they did miss the penalty in the last minute. <br /><br />But please stopped with 'hands of god.' <br />And please stop with the all caps. It really doesn't make a better argument, quite the opposite actually.<br />greetings, indianiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-6805690847153467092010-07-03T14:00:44.795-04:002010-07-03T14:00:44.795-04:00After 90 minutes and overtime this was something v...After 90 minutes and overtime this was something very likely to be done. I think anyone in his place would have done it. We saw a lot of stupid maneuvers involving arms in this world cup and you wouldn't do it in this occasion? Ghana had a sure goal in the penalty and they missed it. It is all part of a great game. Both teams played very well. I was surprised to see that Uruguay managed to make it, being that they are not that strong physically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-47579049120537624582010-07-03T01:52:22.228-04:002010-07-03T01:52:22.228-04:00FOR NOW ON IM GOING FOR URUGUAY.

LUIS SUAREZ HAND WAS AN INSTINCT AND THAT ITS. HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR THE TEAM. URUGUAY IS AN AMAZING TEAM THEY LEAVE EVERY EFFORT ON THE FIELD. I THINK THEY DESERVE TO WIN THIS WORLD CUP. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT BEING REALLY FIGHTING ON THE FIELD. EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN ON A GAME HAPPENED TODAY IN GHANA - URUGUAY. SO I THINK THAT CHEATING IS NOT AN OPTION THEY DESERVED IT AND THEY FOUGHT FOR THE VICTORY. I THINK IS ABSURD TO SOMEONE SAY URUGUAY CHEATED TO VICTORY !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
