QF: Uruguay 1-1 (4-2 on pens) Ghana (2nd July) 7:30pm

This should be a great game as both these teams might just might have a chance to get in the final

Should be a good game.

Come on Uruguay!!

Anyone else watching this?

no,i'm in work so will be relying on you to keep me informed ta.

Ghana 1-0.

Muntari from distance.

Good Goal. Ghana have been on the up for the last 20 mins.

Prince Boetang has really impressed in this World Cup.

^^^^
As did Diouf when we bought him.

BTW, what's this with Ghana's hard tackle without any caution from the ref but Uruguay has got 2 yellows?
What's the consensus, helping the only African team left in the tournament or what?

Anyone can tell me why Ghana was given a penalty and why Suarez was red carded?

Come on Ghana........But you know what is going to happen

Anyone can tell me why Ghana was given a penalty and why Suarez was red carded?

Suarez handballed a clear goal off the line... then they missed the penalty. Last kick of the ball too.

Ha ha ha ha ha....thanks!!!
That was really funny indeed!

Utter chaos in that box then!

Well here we go......

Forlan buried it

Missed the 1st half due to work, what I've seen though has been some of the most exciting of this world cup.

Cheeky that!!

Cheeky

Lot of nerve to that!

Ghana must be heart broken

Unlucky Ghana. Came very close 

F**k off Uruguay.

Energy sapping Beglin? They have 3 days off to recover!

Disgrace. Just as bad as Maradona's hand of God. Hope Holland give them a pasting.

Gyan looks a good player. Must've taken some balls to step up and take the first penalty.

Hope the Duch do them

I knew Abreu would do that, he plays for Botafogo (from Rio de Janeiro) and he always take penaltys the same way.

Well done Uruguay, I wanted them to go out in the group stage but now Brazil are out of the competition I think I wouldnt mind seeing them lifting the trophy to be honest, it would be nice to have it back to South America (as long as its not Argentina).

Dont get why he handballed it, he could have cleared it with his head!

Destiny?

Four years ago Alvaro Recoba said they had divine right to play in the world cup before they were beaten by Aussie. This year they seem to come to prove what they said then.

Great game, really enjoy it and have to say i feel sorry for Ghana but i would prefer Uruguay -v- Holland, it'll be a much better game for us neutrals.

Cheating b***ard.

Feel sorry for Ghana, although if they put that pen away, then they would of gone through. Really is a game of fine margins.

does anyone have a clip of suarez celebrating? =D

Really gutted for Ghana.

Cheating? Mmm..may be, obviously it was not on, but should he let it to become a goal without doing anything "legal" as far as the rule is concerned?

He was given a straight red and then his team conceded a penalty. It was "fair" as far as the rules say...
It was illegal but he was already punished. So, that's football.

National Hero, Suarez

Best Game in the tourney!!!

That's how I see the situation too. He didn't try to fake anything, it was just a desperate attempt.

Like in NBA, teams foul the others to gain time every game. Fouling isn't legal, so they're punished. But it's tactics too.

Switched the game on just before the penalty incident happened!

I felt bad for Gyan, least he got his second.

What was it with those players having a tiny run up and then just scoring and then that ghana player did and missed.

I bet Kev Prince was last.

What a game!
Happy for Uruguay they fought until the end, and that wasn't a cheat. Suarez  traded a goal for a pen and red card.

The free-kick before the handball was a dive, that's cheating.

I think hand balls like that on the line should be given as 'penalty goals' like penalty tries in rugby when an attacking scrum is deliberately collapsed near the try line. It was cheating and he got punished for it. Although not enough. Gutted for Ghana. Uruguay will get pummelled by Holland in the semis.

If you were in the Suarez shoes, what would had you done?

If you were in the Suarez shoes, what would had you done?

Headed it, simple.

I'm very happy we'll be playing Uruguay without Suarez next round

Its just those one situations where you sacrifice yourself to give hope to your country progressing.
He'll be a hero in Uruguay tonight.

What a game,Ghana you made Africa proud!

I hope Netherlands give Forlan and his boys a fecking hiding.

Suarez is a F***ing hero. Great match.

Headed it, simple.

He said that he knew it wasn't possible to head it out, so he used his hand.

The ball has not crossed the line so it shouldn't be awarded as a a goal. If it was awarded as a goal then every goalbound shots that are being handled by defenders will be given as a goal.

If you were in the Suarez shoes, what would had you done?

...took it on my chest, played a one-two of Gyan's head, dribbled up the pitch beating nine men before rounding Kingson and stooping to head it over the line, easy....but, then again, I am brilliant. 

Cheating? Get a grip.

If you couldn't head it (which he claimed he couldn't) in the last minute of the World Cup quarter final knowing that if the header goes in you are out then you do what you can to keep your country in it.

It might not have been sportmanship at it's best but in those situations you do what you can. Instead of having a pop at Suarez it should again be Fifa we question. We need penalty goals like Rugby in my opinion. Scrap that red card. A goal and a yellow and play on.

f***in legend.

FIFA will consider extending Suarez's ban. He hit the ball with his hands, got a red card and Ghana got a penalty. What the F**k do they want more!? He allready won't play in the semifinal. And it's not his fault that they didn't score the penalty.

Uruguay's luck will run out in the semis, if not in the final.

Not sure you would be saying this if it was Liverpool & United in a big cup competition and the same rules applied. What they did was worse than the hand of god in my opinion. My heart goes out for the Ghana players and fans. I hope Uruguay get twatted in the next round the cheating cu*ts 

If Ghana would of scored the penalty, would you be angry? It's they're own fault.

So its Ghana fault he handballed? I don't think so

If Torres handballed it and Rooney missed the pen I'd be delighted with Torres.

It's an instinct to do that, he did it and he got punished by the rules of game. Ghana missed the penalty, they knew the rules before the match that if that happens it's a red card and a penalty. They got both and bottled the penalty.

Actually the best way to prevent the goal should have been like this:
- Suarez should have taken off his shirt and pulled it with both hand and then catch the ball without touching then he should have kicked it.

So the ball would not get into the goal, he didn't handball it (because he used his shirt to get the ball) and no penalty was given (there's no rule for this yet= and he would have got a yellow card only for taking off his shirt.

Suarez is a hero end of.

And what if Rooney handballed it and torres missed the penalty? Don't tell me you would be happy about it cos the rules say you have a penalty. You would never live it down, and you know it
