SOUTH AFRICA V URUGUAY (GRP A) ITV/RTE

Guy:Incognito

Dive all the way.

People can say he went down with contact all they like. That was a dive.

jester77

you'd think he was shot with the way he went over, def peno but I hate seeing that type of reaction

Cypher_sounds

Come on forlan, 16 points for me already on FF

Peyton Manning

Suarez reaction was one of the most over the top I've seen. Up there with Drogba's fit against Man Utd.

100%

Game is broken. Engineered in every use of the word.

cson

Feel desperately sorry for the keeper. His home countrys World Cup and he gets sent off for touching Suarez with the top of his boot. You can shout contact all you want but that's more or less a dive in any man's language.

jester77

the silence is deafening

kenon

What a penalty.

Peyton Manning

Omg....silence.........have I gone deaf!?!?!? My ears, my beautiful ears...

flahavaj

YES DIEGO.

Top of the goalscoring charts he goes, legend.

ShamoBuc

They can blow their horns all the way home now!! Delighted!!

thegen

Made the most of it, ball was going away from goal so technically not a goal scoring opportunity, great penalty though.

Essien

Great peno Diego, and thanks for shutting the vuvuzela's up...even if it was only a few seconds :pac:

Ball was going backwards FFS.

Booking for kicking the keeper more like.

You have to feel kinda sad

that peno wasnt a dive

the keeper clipped him he may have did a Drogba style drama out of it but it was a foul, i hate to see it myself but it was a foul

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Was Suarez offside for the through-ball that led to the penalty though? Or did it come of a South Afrcian...? Think a yellow card would have sufficed.

Paul Tergat

Looks bleak for SA now. Just not up to it!

It was clearly a dive. What planet are you on?

If you go looking for contact, fail to get sufficient contact to actually bring you down, then you dive.

That is what he did.

He can claim all the technical peno lark you want but the player dived.

i said nothing about the penalty, i suppose you have a defense for all the others?

Hes been at it all night tbh.

But its not surprising either.

Not surprising but the rules are broken when a player can engineer a situation like that.

Just kicking the ball away from goal, not getting to it, already having two feet in the air before the contact with the top of the keeper's foot etc.

All horrible to watch.

Contact isn't illegal in football.

It was a dive.

What made him fall down?

Answer that. The answer is his dive - not the contact.

pretty sure your wrong
any other time the defender buckled him, he even got a tooth knocked out

he didnt engineer it, the goalie did by coming out feet first, Suarez just made a large meal of it

I think a yellow would be appropriate too.

and how long did it take the sub keeper to get ready! he didnt even have his boots laced up! FFS!

You seem to be a little cloudy on what a dive is.

If the contact wasn't enough to bring you down or you are already going down before the contact - then it is a dive.

Cypher_sounds

Lads at the end of the day the keeper clipped him and he took advantage and went to ground like most attackers in that position would.

If you go for the ball and do not get the ball, but get the man, its a foul and a penalty. If you go for the ball in the box, you have to get it.

I hate the going down easy lark, but it was a pen.

<edit> Thats it official anyway.
Great from Suarez.

GLaDOS

Thought it was a peno myself, he was in mid air, getting your foot clipped like that will bring you down

Chardee MacDennis

great cross from Suarez...

kenon

I have enjoyed this hiding.

_Bella_

This is fairly hard to watch

3-0

There is going to be rioting tonight :eek:

like what rebel said

the goalie didnt get the ball noodler he got the man

i hate the way he made a pure meal of it but it was a peno

the_monkey

3-0 .. Bye bye South Africa!

pity ,

Cypher_sounds

This result will test the spirit of the people of South Africa

Great from Suarez.

Sorry, you appear to be arguing the wrong poin here.

I said it was a dive - I didn't say anything about a penalty.

If the rules say you can get a penalty by essentially engineering minimal contact with an oppositon player then fine - but we are saying it was a dive regardless.

Unless someone here honestly thinks it was the contact that brought him down then where is the argument? He dived.

Again, you seem to be missing the difference between a dive and a peno.

A baseball bat across the back wouldnt have sent him down the way he did.

Jesus Christ, will you ever be quiet George Hamilton, we get the picture that South Africa are probably out.

No need to force it down our throat.

fryup

will this mean, less vuvuzelas??? fingers crossed

Mr.Nice Guy

Uruguay wrecking the buzz. :pac:

steelcityblues

Good chance of all South American teams getting to knockout stages now!

[QUOTERonnie Whelan]He does make a bit of a meal of it[/QUOTE]

Jesus Christ - if it was Ronaldo they'd be all over it.

EDIT: or however you quote.

~Rebel~

tbh the more I watch the replays, especially in real time where you properly see the momentum, it actually looked like it would have been hard to stay up. Momentum at his speed, with your foot clipped will send you down. Yeah he didn't try too hard to stay up, but it wasn't as much of a dive as people are saying imo.

Oh he made a meal of it, I'm not denying it, that doesn't change that he was fouled though
