    All that football teached us tonight is that if you cheat (Suarez) you will win. Simple as.

    I can't believe they're saying that the handball wasn't cheating. And alongside all the ranting about goal-line tech.. unbelievable

    He didn't cheat. It was the only thing he could do to keep them in the game.

    I'm so upset for Gyan and Ghana....I'm comfort eating with the stress and sadness of it all.:(

    Handball is NOT cheating, FFS. It's a breaking of the rules - the same as kicking an opponent, pulling a shirt etc etc.

    It's not even a sending off offence - unless you do it to stop a goal being scored. So, FFS, quit it with the "cheating" b*lloxology.

    Too right I would! It was the last few seconds of extra time - he had to do it! Funny things happen at the goal line.

    It definitely would have gone in - but them are the rules.

    what gave you that impression?

    Instictive reaction to keep his team in the game at the cost of a sending off. Right decision, I'd certainly do it and I'm sure he'd do the exact same thing again, as would any professional player when that much is riding on it.

    Suarez was selfless. Gave his team a chance of reaching the semis by getting a red and missing the next match. He has a brain alright.

    Just because you see it as patriotic doesn't make it not cheating.

    In fairness, deliberate handball on the goal-line should be like a penalty try in rugby. Goal and a red card. Differentiation being certain goal and certain goal scoring opportunity.

    HUP HOLLAND!

    True. There's a big difference between 'cheating' and just pure instinct. It's what most people would do to stop their team getting knocked out; it's not like he had time to think through his cunning plan.
    Cannot believe how bad Ghana were at penalties though.

    No - it's not cheating, regardless of who the f*ck you are. This has annoyed me since the Henry handball.. everyone jumped on the "cheating bandwagon", which was started, rather stupidly, by the RTE panel after the game in Paris.

    Of all people - they as ex-professional footballers - should have known better.

    I never put Henry down as a cheat anyway. It was really bad umpiring. He was lucky to get away with not being seen and he's admitted that.

    And as sorry as I feel for Ghana they had three more chances to score penalties that would have kept them in and they just didn't perform!

    regardless of whether it was instinct or not when the event happened, the subsequent footage on ITV of him jumping around with joy when the Ghana player missed was pretty disgusting (although I appreciate that if I was from Uruguay, I wouldn't give a f8ck)

    Very true. Also, what a lot of people seem to forget, is that if Gallas hadn't have finished off the move by scoring, the handball would have been as quickly forgotten about as Robbie Keane's handball during the first half, where he deliberately tried to control the ball with his hand to get France on the break.

    The only difference between the two handballs, is that his was seen by the ref.

    Yes. They should change all the rules to Rugby rules. Or maybe a hybrid mix of the rules from Rugby, American Football, Golf, Tennis & Pole Vaulting.

    What rules from Golf? You call your own fouls?
