Oh, Ghana
But fuck did that Ghana player miss one monumental penalty kick.
It was Gyan. My goodness, my heart broke seeing him in tears.

I do believe that game was robbed from them.
Seems so wrong with such a blatent cheat... feel sick in the stomach for them.

What else could Suarez have done? It's the dying seconds and the only way to stop the goal. He's banned for the rest of the tournament now, so fair play. Took one for the team.
And Gyan scored in the penalty shoot-out, so he's already wiped the ignominious stain of failure.

I thought it was just a one-game ban? So he would be in the final if they reach it...
But I agree, it was an excellent tactical move with no downside if it failed. Doesn't make it "right"

You get a one-match ban automatically, but the disciplinary committee can always extend it, depending on circumstance It was a conscious, deliberate cheat to block a certain goal that would have won the match. That's got to be a two-match ban.
Either way, one game probably is the rest of Uruguay's World Cup!

I was thinking along exactly the same lines. So we have a moral quarter final victory to console ourselves and with which to convince ourselves that we are once again a significant footballing nation.
Well done Capello and the boys........

Yea it gets a bit tricky there doesn't it. I plan to be drunk by halftime, that should ease the pain. I believe this was Straggler's method this year with the games England played.
