[IronMexican]

No chance for uru vs Holland. It's good.


And fuck Gyan.

[sefant77]

epic ending

absolutly epic

[Spurologist]

horrendous choke job

[lefty]

:lmao

[MannyIsGod]

LOL let the hate begin.

[ElNono]

Yesss!!!!!!

[mudyez]

on the way to win it...uruguay lost half of their team...holland will love it!

[velik_m]

OMG i can't imagine how the Ghana fans feel right now.

Uruguay didn't deserve to pass.

[resistanze]

Fuck Gyan. I was talking with my dad, the hype got ti his head.

He was selfish the whole game, and choke when it mattered.

Fuck Gyan.

[mudyez]

Nick Anderson would have made these penaltykicks!

[lefty]

Are you kidding me?








Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[MannyIsGod]

Man, thats one brutal scene to have to watch.

[sefant77]

sorry, but so many just weak penalties...that was worse than England 2006

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Man, that blows for Ghana.

[resistanze]

Only consolation is Gyan will carry this shit to his grave.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man I feel bad for Ghana. They deserved to win.

[IronMexican]

Fuck Gyan. He better be put in PC for his own safety.


Holland will wipe the floor.

[Bukefal]

Congratulations Urunobili! :toast
I feel a bit sorry for Ghana though.

Now against us. Bring it on charrúas :ihit :toast :king

[sefant77]

2 games 2 teams buttfucking themselves....

[resistanze]

Congrats to Uruguay. But y'all didn't really deserve it.

[mudyez]

http://brighthouseadvertising.com/uploadedImages/What_We_Offer/BrightHouseSportsNetwork/Nick%20Anderson.png
somewhere he is watching and smiling!

[Libri]

"El loco lo coloco."

[Muser]

Ghana couldn't make Uruguay pay for cheating. I can sympathise with Ghana fans right now, it must suck.

[MannyIsGod]

Ouch, man, the heartbreak out there is brutal.

[ElNono]

ugh, I feel like puking a little bit after this

lol Uruguay > Brazil :lmao

[Spurologist]

congrats to uruguay. But y'all didn't really deserve it.

+1

[MannyIsGod]

I think that rule is whats fucked up. PK for a sure goal LOL.

Could you imagine if they made you shoot free throws in the NBA on goal tends?

[Whisky Dog]

Oh man that might be the worst way to lose a game I've seen. Uruguay was dead and got revived. Hard to watch Gyan after that the poor kid couldn't keep it together

[DAF86]

Every South American knew Abreu was going to kick the penalty like that.

[Mel_13]

Painful to watch that.

[Muser]

What the fuck was that 4th penalty from Uruguay though? :lmao

[mudyez]

+1

As I said, if they dont want to win it, just bring back France for the semis instead of them!

[MannyIsGod]

I'm torn because on one hand (LOL?) I see how fucked up it is but on the other I think its a smart play at that point in the game.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Congrats to Uruguay for earning the privilege of getting raped by the Netherlands in the next round.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

They really should look into adding suspension for things like this. I can see why Suarez did it, but he should definitly pay for it. He shouldn't play for the rest of the tournament, period.

[DAF86]

Ghana couldn't make Uruguay pay for cheating. I can sympathise with Ghana fans right now, it must suck.

I didn't see the whole game, what cheating are you talking about? that last play? Suarez got a red card and Ghana a penalty, they have nobody else to blame than them.

[mudyez]

I'm torn because on one hand (LOL?) I see how fucked up it is but on the other I think its a smart play at that point in the game.

how about fouling a basketball player hard, when you are up 2 and he is on the way to make a layup?

then he misses them!

no bad feelings at all!

[sefant77]

Every South American knew Abreu was going to kick the penalty like that.

Guess Ghana wasnt thinking about scouting and preparing the GK with a note :lol

[ElNono]

Come on... you can't tell me you wouldn't do the exact same thing... last fucking play in the game!

[Trainwreck2100]

I'm torn because on one hand (LOL?) I see how fucked up it is but on the other I think its a smart play at that point in the game.

it was a smart play, he extended the game, but his team's fucked anyway cause i believe he was their best player and he was red carded

[DJ Mbenga]

They really should look into adding suspension for things like this. I can see why Suarez did it, but he should definitly pay for it. He shouldn't play for the rest of the tournament, period.

:lol, calm down. he wont play the next game that is more than enough of a punishment

[DJ Mbenga]

how many locations does espn have for reactions. those reactions are better than the players.

[PBEEZY]

:lol, calm down. he wont play the next game that is more than enough of a punishment

Considering they won't get past the next round it's pretty much the same thing

[DAF86]

how about fouling a basketball player hard, when you are up 2 and he is on the way to make a layup?

then he misses them!

no bad feelings at all!

Exactly, nothing worng with what Suarez did, he gave his team the best chance to win, and there was nothing ilegal going on, everything was called acording to the rules.

[Whisky Dog]

wow if Ghana lose now Uruguay will lose pretty much any and all respect I've had for them. Fucking cheats

What? That's retarded, Ghana got their reward they got a PK and got to choose their best guy to take it. Gyan just fucked up. If it were the other way Forlan would've nailed it for the win. That was a smart play by Suarez, but now without him Uruguay will have to play perfect ball and Forlan will have to shoot them to the title game.

[Muser]

I didn't see the whole game, what cheating are you talking about? that last play? Suarez got a red card and Ghana a penalty, they have nobody else to blame than them.

The last play yes, i'm not blaming him for doing it if it was England i'd want one of our players to do it. It was cheating and Ghana choked.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lol, calm down. he wont play the next game that is more than enough of a punishment

tell that to Ghana. I think players will do what they can to win for their team, but there should really be a price to pay. Whichever way you look at it, it was cheating. Call it smart or not, but it was cheating, and I don't think Uruguay should be able to use Suarez for the rest of the tournament. Its not going to happen, but that's what I think should happen.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Now that was an easy intentional handball! Where is the crew that still thinks Kewell's handball was intentional? :lmao

Poor Ghana........ Australia could have taken down Uruguay in penalties just like in 2005

Congrats Urunobili, must feel good having your team make the Semis! :toast Going to be a tough ask vs the Dutch

[MiamiHeat]

Nice guys finish last, gentlemen.

Suarez will be a national hero for that red card. He saved them.

100 times out of 100 times, you handball and take the penalty kick in that situation. It's better than giving up the sure goal.

[Whisky Dog]

They really should look into adding suspension for things like this. I can see why Suarez did it, but he should definitly pay for it. He shouldn't play for the rest of the tournament, period.

:lmao The automatic red is a suspension. No way that deserves more than a game you Ghana loving freaks.

[ElNono]

lol @ cheating... it's not like Suarez didn't get a red card or Ghana didn't get a penalty...

[MannyIsGod]

To be fair, thats not like fouling a player - its like goaltending and then having the player shoot free throws.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Karma is a bitch isnt it ghana? congrats to urugino and his fellow countymen, good luck vs the dutch.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

tell that to Ghana. I think players will do what they can to win for their team, but there should really be a price to pay. Whichever way you look at it, it was cheating. Call it smart or not, but it was cheating, and I don't think Uruguay should be able to use Suarez for the rest of the tournament. Its not going to happen, but that's what I think should happen.

i agree. He basically stole the semi final from Ghana.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah - its not cheating. Commiting a penalty is not cheating.

[urunobili]

two things...

1) For all you fuckers saying we didn't deserve to win... watch the game again... count the on goal chances for each team and then post. Suarez is a stud and doesn't matter if we get buttfucked by Holland, his save will be right up there on the greatest plays ever in a WC because of the outcome

2) Can someone please tell Maradona that Uruguay is playing this worldcup? He asked on an earlier interview "Uruguay is playing in the world cup?"

[Spurologist]

The worst sports feeling I've ever had was when Cameroon failed to qualify for the cup 4 years ago because of a missed penalty. That shit doesn't even compare to this

[ffadicted]

So I suppose ya'll think Henry was a hero as well?

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Exactly, nothing worng with what Suarez did, he gave his team the best chance to win, and there was nothing ilegal going on, everything was called acording to the rules.

Bullshit, that hand was illegal, and the punishment doesn't fit the crime IMO. Ghana fucked up yes, but there would be no question they'd be through if Suarez hadn't cheated. I think the penalty for this like this needs to be more severe.

[ElNono]

cheating is a handball and the ref not seeing it... see: maradona '86

[The_Worlds_finest]

fuck maradona

[Kriz-Maxima]

To be fair, thats not like fouling a player - its like goaltending and then having the player shoot free throws.

Yup.

Fucked up. I feel bad for Ghana. They still choked, but it seems unfair.

[ElNono]

So I suppose ya'll think Henry was a hero as well?

Henry handball wasn't called. Different thing altogether.

[DAF86]

wow if Ghana lose now Uruguay will lose pretty much any and all respect I've had for them. Fucking cheats

lol Why didn't you lose respect for Brazil when Fabiano touched the ball with his hands twice? I'm seriously getting tired of hearing all this wanna be puritan comments.

[sefant77]

2) Can someone please tell Maradona that Uruguay is playing this worldcup? He asked on an earlier interview "Uruguay is playing in the world cup?"

I think the cocaine fucked his brain.

Remember the "press conference" with Müller where he thought he is a ballboy etc. The dude was playing 90min before that.

Guess Maradona really prepare himself for the games...

[MannyIsGod]

So I suppose ya'll think Henry was a hero as well?


It wasn't Henry's fault FIFA refs suck balls.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Come on, Maniac, it was a high-risk/high-reward thing more than it was cheating. Sure, maybe the price to pay should be higher, but it's really no different than flopping at the end of the game and killing time.

It sucks for Ghana, but Uruguay straight up pulled this one out of their ass--that's all it takes sometimes.

[DJ Mbenga]

So I suppose ya'll think Henry was a hero as well?

that was a missed handball

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Hey, you want to love him for what he did for your country, fine, we get it, but don't come in here pretending you beat Ghana fair. Suarez cheated the win for Uruguay, and given any other team in the same situation, I'd say most would do the same, but its still cheating. At least acknowledge it.

[Bukefal]

eeeh this is behind now. Look at the next game. Congrats for making it :tu My Uruguayan friend is going crazy lol We both had a wonderful day today haha Uruguay is probably going crazy too.

Im looking forward to the game :toast

[ElNono]

2) Can someone please tell Maradona that Uruguay is playing this worldcup? He asked on an earlier interview "Uruguay is playing in the world cup?"

lol, you don't know diego? tomorrow he'll be either preaching how good uruguay is, or how suarez is a murderer. never mind him, go celebrate.

[resistanze]

End of the day, Gyan fucked up. It was a cheap way for a team to advance but all Gyan had to do was score.

[MannyIsGod]

Hey, you want to love him for what he did for your country, fine, we get it, but don't come in here pretending you beat Ghana fair. Suarez cheated the win for Uruguay, and given any other team in the same situation, I'd say most would do the same, but its still cheating. At least acknowledge it.

What makes it cheating? Its a play in the middle of the game just like any other penalty. Are all penalties cheating? Would it be cheating if Gyan hadn't choked?

Its not cheating.

[MiamiHeat]

I think they should add Instant Replay for goal area situations only.

Then they can go back and say"that ball was going in if not for hand interference" and award the goal like the NBA does for goal tending.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Come on, Maniac, it was a high-risk/high-reward thing more than it was cheating. Sure, maybe the price to pay should be higher, but it's really no different than flopping at the end of the game and killing time.

It sucks for Ghana, but Uruguay straight up pulled this one out of their ass--that's all it takes sometimes.

No, it was cheating. Since when is a player stopping a goal with his hands NOT cheating?? The penalty should be such that makes players think twice before pulling crap like this. You want to sacrifice yourself for your country, fine, but you're out of the tournament. That's how it should be IMO.

[DJ Mbenga]

To be fair, thats not like fouling a player - its like goaltending and then having the player shoot free throws.

different sports. i think the best comparison might be a flagrant 2 to prevent a layup. you still suffer a penalty but if the guy is a 60 % ft shooter youll take your chances there

[mudyez]

Can someone please tell Maradona that Uruguay is playing this worldcup? He asked on an earlier interview "Uruguay is playing in the world cup?"

LOL, he also didnt know Thomas Müller several weeks ago. He will know him tomorrow!

Don't do drugs kids! :nope

[urunobili]

Hey Urunobili, when was the last time Uruguay went to penalties?

it was versus Brazil on last Copa AMerica's on semi finals where we lost

[MannyIsGod]

They beat Ghana fair. Saying that you didn't beat someone fair because you commited a penalty is fucking retared. Then one beats anyone fair.

[resistanze]

Only thing I was questioning if the ball had already crossed by the time he punched it out.

[ffadicted]

lol Why didn't you lose respect for Brazil when Fabiano touched the ball with his hands twice? I'm seriously getting tired of hearing all this wanna be puritan comments.

lmao please, if you think the situation is the same, I won't even bother stating why it makes me sick that Ghana lost today

[urunobili]

Hey, you want to love him for what he did for your country, fine, we get it, but don't come in here pretending you beat Ghana fair. Suarez cheated the win for Uruguay, and given any other team in the same situation, I'd say most would do the same, but its still cheating. At least acknowledge it.

It's within the game rules. A hand saving a goal it's a red. where's the cheating there? I ain't admitting anything. Good luck versus Germany :tu

[MannyIsGod]

No, it was cheating. Since when is a player stopping a goal with his hands NOT cheating?? The penalty should be such that makes players think twice before pulling crap like this. You want to sacrifice yourself for your country, fine, but you're out of the tournament. That's how it should be IMO.

Then complain about the rules but don't call it cheating. He commited a penalty with a stiff price but the stiff price was better than not commiting the penalty. Thats not cheating.

I mean fuck, is thats cheating I can't wait to call argentina cheaters on the first foul of the game.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

No, it was cheating. Since when is a player stopping a goal with his hands NOT cheating?? The penalty should be such that makes players think twice before pulling crap like this. You want to sacrifice yourself for your country, fine, but you're out of the tournament. That's how it should be IMO.

Your opinion, but regardless of what you say, he committed a penalty and it was handled according to the well-established rules of the game. Admittedly, those rules are imperfect (don't get me started), but blatant cheating? Nah, he did what he had no other option but to do with his country's ass literally on the line.

Calm the fuck down :lmao

[ElNono]

lmao please, if you think the situation is the same, I won't even bother stating why it makes me sick that Ghana lost today

They can try again in 2014... like Brazil... :rollin

[MaNuMaNiAc]

What makes it cheating? Its a play in the middle of the game just like any other penalty. Are all penalties cheating? Would it be cheating if Gyan hadn't choked?

Its not cheating.

Yes it would still be cheating. This is not debatable. What the hell do you think a red card represents? You're ejected from the game for unsportsmanlike behavior. Stopping a certain goal with your hands isn't supposed to be part of the fucking playbook.

The only thing I'm questioning is the punishment should be more severe. There is no question Suarez cheated.

[MannyIsGod]

They can try again in 2014... like Brazil... :rollin

lmao

there are rules and if they are broken, a guy gets penetalized.

its nothing more like doing a backcourt violation in basketball. the other team gets the ball and so on.

its not like the ref didnt see something (and even if, its not cheating unless you can claim, that he was bribed).

[urunobili]

ManuManiac;

Why the hate? u mad?

Cheating is getting away with it like Maradona did.

Suarez was caught and sent off.

Get over it and remember what that the dream case scenario for Uruguay is for winning this cup... :wakeup

[DAF86]

Hey, you want to love him for what he did for your country, fine, we get it, but don't come in here pretending you beat Ghana fair. Suarez cheated the win for Uruguay, and given any other team in the same situation, I'd say most would do the same, but its still cheating. At least acknowledge it.

Why? They did beat Ghana fairly. There were no ref mistakes going on, I guess Horry is a cheater for hip checking Nash, or Pop for doing the hack a Shaq.

[MannyIsGod]

Yes it would still be cheating. This is not debatable. What the hell do you think a red card represents? You're ejected from the game for unsportsmanlike behavior. Stopping a certain goal with your hands isn't supposed to be part of the fucking playbook.

The only thing I'm questioning is the punishment should be more severe. There is no question Suarez cheated.

K, then every team is full of cheaters. What do you think a ref foul call represents? You breaking the rules.

And in that case, cheaters lost today so I guess its all good.

The only thing I'm questioning is the punishment should be more severe. There is no question Suarez cheated.

there is a big difference between a red card for using your hands and e.g. intentional injuring someone. even the later happens and I wouldnt call it cheating, but something worse.

[DAF86]

Yes it would still be cheating. This is not debatable. What the hell do you think a red card represents? You're ejected from the game for unsportsmanlike behavior. Stopping a certain goal with your hands isn't supposed to be part of the fucking playbook.

Why? because you said so?

[MannyIsGod]

Cheating means you're breaking the rules but it also means more than simply breaking the rules. A foul is not cheating and yet its breaking the rules. Doing something secretly and trying to get away with it is what cheating really stands for. That handball was anything but secret.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

ManuManiac;

Why the hate? u mad?

Cheating is getting away with it like Maradona did.

Suarez was caught and sent off.

Get over it and remember what that the dream case scenario for Uruguay is for winning this cup... :wakeup

right, so basically the only difference you see between cheating and not cheating is not getting caught...

yeah, Suarez got caught, and he should be suspended for more than one game IMO.

[ffadicted]

I'm 100% with Manu here... this is like saying going out there and hurting a team's best player on purpose to get him severly injured and out of the game is fair play as long as you get red carded for it

[urunobili]

Congrats uru... go party or something!

:danceclub

Thanks Nono... I cried for 15 minutes and now i'm trying to relax :tu but you know... I don't celebrate unless it's a ship... :toast

[mudyez]

funny facts:

groupplay:
game 1:
1:0 win ghana vs serbia...penaltyshot GYAN
game 2:
1:1 ghana vs australia...penaltyshot GYAN

[urunobili]

lol MaNuMaNiAc wants more than one game :cry... u afraid of Suarez on a potential final?

[DAF86]

lmao please, if you think the situation is the same, I won't even bother stating why it makes me sick that Ghana lost today

What's the difference? That Suarez did it at the end of the game and Fabiano didn't? Take your homer glasses off and see that they 're the exact same thing. No, actually it isn't 'cause Suarez got penalized, Fabiano didn't. So Fabiano's play is a lot worse. Don't be a hypocrite.

[mudyez]

right, so basically the only difference you see between cheating and not cheating is not getting caught...

yeah, Suarez got caught, and he should be suspended for more than one game IMO.

and it wouldnt give back ghane anything!

[MannyIsGod]

Ghana fans should not wish anything ill on Gyan. Did you see the guy after the match? He was so fucking torn up about it.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Why? because you said so?

No, because the fucking rules say so. I don't understand what exactly you think a red card is. Its punishiment for breaking the rules. All I'm saying is this kind of shit should just get a one game suspension. Its more serious than that.

[Whisky Dog]

To be fair, thats not like fouling a player - its like goaltending and then having the player shoot free throws.

Well, it would be like in football a receiver streaks wide open in the last seconds of a game, has the defender beaten with nobody between him and the goal line and the defender just stretches out and grabs the guy and pulls him down before the ball gets there. It is a foul, will be penalized, stops the guy from a winning score by illegal means, but they don't just give the guy the touchdown. They call the pass interference and the offense gets another chance at a TD.

Ghana had their best PK taker on the line for the win and he choked. Can't go changing the rules because a guy couldn't finish the easiest opportunity he'll ever have to win a game.

[MannyIsGod]

what's the difference? That suarez did it at the end of the game and fabiano didn't? Take your homer glasses off and see that they 're the exact same thing. No, actually it isn't 'cause suarez got penalized, fabiano didn't. So fabiano's play is a lot worse. Don't be a hypocrite.

lol

[Muser]

Nothing can excuse that choking though, all he had to do was score one penalty.

[urunobili]

oh I forgot... Uruguay > Brazil... it's a fucking fact suck it ffadicted and stop the hate... go have some coffee with ManuManiac or something...

[DAF86]

I'm 100% with Manu here... this is like saying going out there and hurting a team's best player on purpose to get him severly injured and out of the game is fair play as long as you get red carded for it

That's premeditated, that's a lot different.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

lol MaNuMaNiAc wants more than one game :cry... u afraid of Suarez on a potential final?

:lol regardless of how I feel about Suarez, this Uruguay isn't making it past Holland

potential!!!

hope heinze does the same with germany tomorrow, but schweinsteiger makes the goald from the spot!

[ElNono]

right, so basically the only difference you see between cheating and not cheating is not getting caught...

yeah, Suarez got caught, and he should be suspended for more than one game IMO.

There's so much fail in this post. It's not like Suarez tried to hide the fact that he touched the ball with his hand. He simply used the last recourse he had.

Every last defender that fouls an attacker and gets a red card is a cheater? No.

A guy that dives in the penalty area and tries to confuse the ref into calling an inexistent foul is cheating.

[MannyIsGod]

No, because the fucking rules say so. I don't understand what exactly you think a red card is. Its punishiment for breaking the rules. All I'm saying is this kind of shit should just get a one game suspension. Its more serious than that.

K, well then every team is full of cheaters because every team breaks the rules every game.

So basically Uruguay being cheaters means nothing because everyone are cheaters.

[mudyez]

anybody remember who fouled Nick Anderson in 1995?

dirty cheater!

[Muser]

Without Suarez Holland should beat Uruguay easily.

[urunobili]

No, because the fucking rules say so.

:rolleyes

Please enlighten us with the link that defines a hand as cheating :rolleyes


I don't understand what exactly you think a red card is. Its punishiment for breaking the rules. All I'm saying is this kind of shit should just get a one game suspension. Its more serious than that.

lol in denial Argie completely afraid... let me remind you your coaches sickening classless celebration on the WC oldest stadium just 6 months ago... maybe it's that?

tash nerviosho porteño???

[DAF86]

And in case the ref wouldn't have saw it, I still wouldn't put the blame on Suarez, I would put the blame on the ref.

[MannyIsGod]

Aren't you the one that always wants to belittle other countries to don't have 2 world cups from from over half a century ago?

[resistanze]

Ghana fans should not wish anything ill on Gyan. Did you see the guy after the match? He was so fucking torn up about it.

Well anyone would. It was terrible. I don't wish any harm, like I said that's his cross to carry. Unfortunately, it's the entire nation's to carry as well.

[mudyez]

btw.: we are the only ones, that are even talking about that!!!...not even Ghane felt cheated or something like that...I'm from germany--a soccer country-- and nobody lost one word, on if the play was cheap or something like that!

I wouldnt say, that he has to get celebrated for doing what he does, but ripping on him is stupid!

[MannyIsGod]

anybody remember who fouled Nick Anderson in 1995?

dirty cheater!

You keep bringing up Brick Anderson dude but no one cares. You should have taken the hint at no one responding the first time that no one thought it was funny but instead you've brought it up like 3 times now.

[mudyez]

Well anyone would. It was terrible. I don't wish any harm, like I said that's his cross to carry. Unfortunately, it's the entire nation's to carry as well.

in this game maybe the whole continent

[MannyIsGod]

And in case the ref wouldn't have saw it, I still wouldn't put the blame on Suarez, I would put the blame on the ref.

Man thank god they saw it. Can you imagine if they had missed that call? hoooooooooooooly shit.

[resistanze]

That's premeditated, that's a lot different.

? The handball was premeditated as well, I'm not sure if that's the word you were going for.

[MannyIsGod]

Thats true :(

I feel bad for the dude. He came in and hit the next one cold as ice.

[mudyez]

You keep bringing up Brick Anderson dude but no one cares. You should have taken the hint at no one responding the first time that no one thought it was funny but instead you've brought it up like 3 times now.

Let it go.

and you are not bringing any new imput as well!

see you tomorrow!

[MannyIsGod]

Eh, I don't know about that. I think it might have been but it might have just been a split second reaction too.

Argentina fan crying that handball is cheating and Ghana should of won is priceless though.

I thought the one he took in the shootout was pretty stupid too. I mean, sure, it was all pretty because he made it, but its dangerous to hit a ball that high. You know why...

[resistanze]

I just don't get the way Gyan played the whole game. It's like he's been reading articles about himself. The whole game I was commenting out loud on how 'me first' he was playing. There was a great chance to go up 2-0 on a 3-2 and he had tunnel vision. Then he won't even take time to breathe before clanking the penalty off the post.

Oh well, just had to vent.

IMO it was pretty clear it was intentional. Not that I'm calling him a 'cheat' but he knew what he had to do.

[DAF86]

Maybe it isn't, I meant that ffadicted's example is a pre-game thought or plan (and one that causes physical damage to others) and what Suarez did is something that emerges in the heat of the moment.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh it was definitely intentional, but being intentional and being premeditated are two completely different things.

Dude, how is #10 not offsides on that play on the initial shot? He's then involved on the rebound.

I didn't think it was a foul on #4 to begin with.

[resistanze]

Anyways, horrible horrible loss. Horrible for the fans. That is all.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lmao @ everyone bringing up Maradona's hand. What the fuck is your point? That was cheating as well.

Look, you disagree, fine. You're not going to change my mind about it. I think stopping a sure goal with your hands in ten times worst than you average hard foul. It should get the red and then some.

and to answer our Uruguayan friend, I couldn't give a flying fuck if Suarez was Uruguayan, Brazilian, Peruvian, German, English, etc. For me its the principle of the thing. I don't think this sort of play should be just a one game suspension. You're welcome to disagree.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

BTW Tabarez live on ESPN now on press conference just owned an English reporter that asked him about that "cheating" BS that Manunada; ffidiot and Many ungod are crying about

careful that in all your idiotic ramblings you don't go confusing who is on your side and who is not. Many arguing the same point as you jackass.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

You know what the funny thing is, if this had been done to Uruguay, Urunobili would be here arguing the same point I am. Hypocrisy anyone?

[ffadicted]

You're ashamed of the beautiful game now when your team has been playing the ugliest form of soccer possible since Dunga took command.

60 matches with 6 losses, Copa America and Confed cup 'chip and 1st in qualifiers.... I wouldn't call that ugly at all, and there's certainly no shame in going out against that holland squad, who look like legit favorites for a finals appearance and cup title.

This has nothing to do with brasil I don't know how you managed to twist it that way lol It just makes me sick that something like this happened to break a nation's heart on such an unfair play in my eyes

[urunobili]

I've been defending you and you go off on me?

:lol

sorry Manny... but you didnt show any sign of happiness of us avenging the US loss... :rolleyes

on a side note in between us... GO US SOCCER!!!! and I hope you know I've been a Donovan fan for more than 8 years...

[resistanze]

I'm not sure if I'd call it cheating and if it was, he was punished for it in the game.

I would say it's against the spirit of the game, but whatever. So it Hack-a-Shaq. A sour way to win, but Ghana held their own fate in their hands after the Suarez foul.

[Whisky Dog]

Maradona's cheat was the Hand of God to argies, this one was the Hand of Satan to one insane argie. He wants a lifetime ban from the sport and forfeiture of all goals scored in his lifetime going back to junior leagues.

[urunobili]

You know what the funny thing is, if this had been done to Uruguay, Urunobili would be here arguing the same point I am. Hypocrisy anyone?

hey, regardless of what you might think, I fully acknowledge Maradona's cheating in 86. I was happy we won, so what? Show me somewhere in this thread where I said Uruguay should be ashamed or something? I think the punishment for this sort of thing should be more sever, but I never said he should be banned for life. Stop making shit up.

[MannyIsGod]

Anyway - I really do think Ghana was OS on that play but I can't find a perfect replay.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

lol yeah right prove ANY FUCKING time i have engaged myself in such a self owning activity...

No soy porteño infeliz

and just to clarify, I'm not saying you shouldn't be happy you won, and I'm not saying they should disqualify Uruguay. I'm saying this sort of bullshit deserves harsher punishment, and I'll continue thinking that if its an Argie player the one that does it next.

The fact that it was a Uruguayan that did it makes no difference. Oh and by the way, :lmao at you thinking anyone is scared of Uruguay after the way they played today... GTFO

[MannyIsGod]

And going by the crying Suarez was doing there was no way I think it was premeditated. Of course maybe the crying was an act. I don't know.

[resistanze]

Dude, how is #10 not offsides on that play on the initial shot? He's then involved on the rebound.

The goalkeeper and another Uruguayan player were guarding the line the whole time? No?

EDIT: The keeper might have been ahead of him for a sec, is that what you mean? It's possible.

[diego]

i wanted uruguay to win for the south american representation in semis, so I'm happy, but I feel bad for Ghana- they choked, but I dont remember seeing a more painful loss on a footie field.

what suarez did wasnt dirty, and he was punished for his offense- first with the penalty, then with the suspension. ghana just couldnt make em pay. hack a shaq is a great analogy for it.

[Whisky Dog]

Show me somewhere in this thread where I said Uruguay should be ashamed or something? I think the punishment for this sort of thing should be more sever, but I never said he should be banned for life. Stop making shit up.

I was obviously exaggerating. I think it's funny you want the dude banned for the finals if by some miracle the Dutch find a way to choke a seemingly gifted semis away. It's harsh enough that he has to miss what would have been the biggest international match of his life.

BTW, I hate how they hand out yellows like candy and dudes are missing the semis for ticky tack shit and tackles, or handballs in the middle of the pitch that don't even look intentional. If they're going to give out yellows so easily they really need to wipe them clean after each match in the knockout rounds. No need for a guy to miss a huge game just for a bad tackle or a hand ball that has no effect on the game.

So winning is what matters, not the beautiful game... and I agree.

[Ozzy]

Manny, i believe, was mentioning offside. In this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XUnA9XOm-Q

it seems that the two Ghana players were in offside at the start of the action (3. second). And these are exactly the two players that later took a shot at the goal and hit Suarez.

[TimmehC]

There needs to be a "goaltending" rule in football. That's just ridiculous.

[ffadicted]

Here we call football the beautiful game. It's just a term, coming from how it joins nations together, etc... it doesn't refer to the style of play haha

CROFL all the haters... Suarez shouldn't be suspended... an offside call should have been made instead... :ihit

Holland would have shit to play us with Suarez :depressed

[diego]

that replay doesnt show when the ball is kicked so it doesnt show if they were offside or not. i dont remember seeing it offside when it happened but i watched over the net so i might be wrong. there were a couple offsides called on uruguay that werent though, and ghana got away with one earlier (that didnt result in anything). for the most part this ref did a good job though, missing offsides calls is fairly normal in a soccer game and the ones they missed were all close either way.

it does seem to me from that replay, that 6 and 19 fouled the hell out of the guy headering without getting any ball- if anything uruguay is lucky there was only one card on that play.

overall uruguay were the better team, they created more and better chances to score, but ghana gave them a very good fight and uruguay had to scrape out the win by holding on to the tie. never any question in my mind that uruguay would prevail in penalties

[ffadicted]

lol I know what you meant... i'm just giving you a chance to bitch at dunga

lol man, he's already owned himself at the press conference and resigned (well, he's deal was only 4 years, he just said he wasn't coming back).

We should pull an argentina and give pele a chance lol

seriously, pele is too chickenshit to put his ass on the line like that

[urunobili]

and BTW three penalty kick fouls vs. Uruguay not called by the refs... we simply were the better team... it's an actual drag losing Suarez for the next game when it should have never made it to that stance...

[MB20]

Congrats Urunobili !!!
I celebrated your win. :toast

About the handball, I'd would have done it too (and never feel bad about it).

What has when the ball was kicked to do with this offside? At the third second of the video one of Ghana players shoots a header towards the goal. At that point Ghana player with number 10 is offside. The keeper defends the shot and the ball comes dirrectly to that Ghana player (number 10). He was offside before, so he shouldn't be involved in the action (he gained unfair advantage according to the offside rules). When he touches the ball offside should have been called.

Wiki - offside:


Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is touched or played by a team-mate is only committing an offside offence if, in the opinion of the referee, he becomes actively involved in play by

Interfering with play
Playing or touching the ball
Interfering with an opponent
Preventing the opponent from playing the ball by obstructing the player's sight or intentionally distracting the opponent
Gaining an advantage by being in an offside position
Playing the ball after the ball has rebounded off the goal, the goalkeeper, or any opponent

[FkLA]

Every Mexican in the world that watches the Mexican league knew Abreu was going to float it in the middle like that. I swear I was screaming at my TV that he was going to do that...too bad the Ghanian goalie didnt study the Uruguayan players' PK tendencies. Nothing wrong with what Suarez did either, he was given a red card for it and the Ghanian's were given a golden chance to win the game. They didnt deliver.

Uruguay is overrated though. Easy road and a couple of breaks had more to do with them reaching this stage than them actually being elite. Holland should destroy them, and would destroy them even if they had Suarez and Lugano.

[sabar]

Oh man that was brutal. Uruguay took Ghana down with them rather than just lose.

Pretty retarded rule. At least NBA goaltending makes sense. It is a cheap tactic akin to hack-a-shaq and intentional fouls. But its the rules.
