People are you insane??? You don’t know anything about football??? This is in no way cheating, this is a perfectly valid option (play) that have its consequences. Suarez did not cheat in anyway he did not try to hide, deceive or even lie about it.

Suarez just committed a foul, the rules are clear he deserves a red card an a penalty should be awarded to the other team.

Mario Kempes did the same at the World cup on ‘74 and he didn’t even got a red card because the rule were different back then.

You really need to try to get the facts straight before saying something like this.

I personally believe that the only reason why uruguay is in the game against hollnand is becuase of cheating it is very easy to miss that shot because of all the pressure

Cheating or not what Suarez did is sending the wrong message. Other players who are facing that same situation will take the red card and give the other team a penalty kick hoping that they will miss it. If it was accidental the referee’s decision would have been fair but he purposely did it, a goal should have been given in that case. Fouls are part of the game, reaching out to block the ball with your hands isn’t.

I totally agree that the Blunder was totally on Asamoah Gyan. He should have buried the spot kick and he didn’t.

I do understand what you are saying and I must once again reiterate the point that my Blunder was given to Asamoah Gyan for the hand ball. If a player intentionally fouls another player, dives or breaks the rules of a football match and is conciously aware of doing so,that is actually the definition of cheating. When Ozil took a dive against Australia in the first Germany game, that was Cheating, and when Keita pretended to be hit by Kaka in the Brazil v. Ivory Coast Game that is cheating too. Irrelevant of a referee seeing or punishing an incident, the crime is still cheating. If you cheat on your wife, and you get caught, unfortunatly you have still cheated whether she kicks you out or not.

I have nothing against Suarez personally, he has had an excellent domestic season and a solid world cup, but unlike fouling a player in the penaly box with an open goal, he denied a goal bound ball with his hand. If he hadn’t done it, the ball would have 100% crossed the line, and he was fully aware and responsible for his actions, in the same way Henry was in November 2009 and Maradonna was in 1986. Using your hand to gain any kind of advantage in football is cheating. He has been punished (rightfully so) and the fact Gyan missed the penalty was the point of the Blunder, as man who has been so prolific from the spot throughout the tournament, fell foul to the pressure and ulitmately cost his team a place on the last 4. As I mentioned above, Uruguay deserve to be in the last 4, and that incident doesn’t tarnish that.

first of all, the ball DIDN’T CROSS THE LINE.
second, what denied ghana a goal is the fact that gyan missed the penatly kick, just the action of gyan and not from everyone else.
it was a natural reaction what suarez did, he didn’t want the ball to get in, and in the situation he did it with his hands, committing a faul that was punished. if committing a faul is cheating, why isn’t everybody saying that fabian melo cheated? that piqué cheated? that bocanegra cheated? that clark cheated? that every player that committed a foul cheated?
