Luis Suarez' Handball

[Mac4Lyfe]

Smart play in the heat of the battle. You want guy's with high IQ's on your team. I wouldn't call him a hero but he did the right thing in the clutch.

Ghana's men really need to practice PK's. That 1 step shit Mensah did was awful. My grandma can kick a ball harder than that and she's dead...

[Cheme82]

Suarez did what he had to do, anybody that disagrees is a little bitch and has no heart. I bet you guys have never played sports and if you did it was in one of those "feel good" leagues where "everyone is a winner". That's fine for children, but we are men. I would have stopped that ball with my dick if I had to.

Did you guys see Fucile flying trying to stop the ball with his hand too? Suarez is just a better goalie so he actually got a textbook 2-handed save.

If I were Muslera (the Uruguay goalkeeper) and I was beat I would expect every modafuker in my team to stop that shit, if they didn't I would have a problem with that.

What about when a baseball player gets hit "on purpose". Don't they expect their own pitcher to get payback for that shit? When I was playing little league they made us shake hands with the pitcher that hit us, but like I said, we are men now and someone is getting hit from their team. How come that's fine (considering you are actually endangering the other team), but a save right at the line gets so many whinny little bitches crying about it?

The African-cock-sucking stopped already, get over it.

[Cheme82]

P.S.

I love how Suarez tries to walk away nonchalantly after the save, then he looks semi-surprised when they show him the red car. Feking classic.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

I would of put my nuts infront of the ball to save the game. He knew he was getting a straight red but atleast he gave his goalie a chance to save a the penalty shot or maybe miss it exactly what happened. Suarez national hero.

[suicidekings]

For anyone still convinced that Suarez' actions should not have been allowed, try reading the rules of the game...

dude calm down a little bit , breathe everybody has an opinion maybe its not the one you agree with.

[Cheme82]

You are right, everybody has an opinion. And that was mine.

[antifoil]

he really had no choice. he had to be sure the ball wasn't going in

[Jimmy0607]

Nope had money on the draw so cashed nicely. But yes I really don't like Uruguay as you might be able to tell

Haha righttttttttt I like how everybody tells their bets after the game is over , what a joke

[Sunde91]

its wrong for Henry to do it but okay for suarez.

Because a hand ball that wasn't called and directly led to the goal that qualified one team over another is the same as a hand ball that was called with proper punishment.

[Karayilan9]

Basically if you had money on Uruguay, Suarez is the man, if you had money on Ghana Suarez is a cheat, if your a neutral Suarez made the game one of the games of the tournament and gets respect, if your from Uruguay he is a national hero, if your from Ghana you might blame him but should really blame Gyan for missing the penalty

Thats what Im saying man

[Stifler]

if i were suarez i would have done the same thing. Hard for him though, dunno how long he will be suspended.

[Cheetahponti]

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy, I put my bets on SBR most of the time and today I posted and cashed on Germany and Spain over 2.5 and Germany to win - search if you wish. Made a play on Paraguay 0-0 but hedged with Spain to win 1-0. In general I agree with you that I do not people gloating on bets they did not place but you chose the wrong guy.

As for most of the other posters, of course most other players would have done the same thing in that situation, NO SHIT SHERLOCK. It was mostly instinctual I would say, hardly like Suarez was there weighing up all the pros and cons of doing what he did. To admire such a wanker though, or say people should, in a team full of wankers is what makes me shake my head, but hey whatever floats your boat.

Hopefully FIFA will change the rules after this incident, at least to make it an immediate two game penalty or perhaps rule the player out from the entire tournament.

[gryfyn1]

It was an absolutely great play - cut the "cheating" shit - He was punished accordingly for his actions --

-- Like when and NBA player bear hugs a guy to prevent a lay-up, no screams cheating
-- When a D-back tackles a receiver before the ball gets there to prevent an easy catch and run - no one bitches

Maybe he could have headed it away, but maybe he couldn't have, but he DID stop it from going in, and that single play was more responsible for thier advancement than any other in the game.


"if ya ain't cheatin', ya ain't tryin"

[gryfyn1]

its wrong for Henry to do it but okay for suarez.

No it wrong for Henry to do an not get punished; its okay for Suarez to do it and take his punishment.

[Jimmy0607]

Cheetah you are acting like Suarez got away with the handball or something it was a PK and he got a red card , Gyan pulled a Roberto Baggio and choked

Cheetah where are you from?

[Cheetahponti]

Jimmy, when did I say Suarez got away with anything? I just think the guy is a complete tool, and deserves no praise whatsoever for what he did, which was nothing more than instinctual.

It's irrelevant where I'm from, but it's not Germany or Uruguay.

[Jimmy0607]

A tool for taking a "bullet" for his country, haha what a joke you are , you probably never played a damn football game

[Sforz]

for sure,

i would have done the same thing. . . and had he been italian (or american), he would hold an eternal spot in my heart....

you do what you gotta do... to survive. (think thats from a tupac song)

[Cheetahponti]

No, a tool for his post-match comments and general attitude, along with most of the Uruguay team. I've played Rugby Union, League, AFL and soccer, with the latter being full of most of the skirts. What have you played smart ass?

[Dark Horse]

its wrong for Henry to do it but okay for suarez.

Bingo. That's all there is to it. Nothing more to be said.

[Dark Horse]

No it wrong for Henry to do an not get punished; its okay for Suarez to do it and take his punishment.

People were furious with Henry for cheating.

Now they sing the praises of Suarez.

Go figure.

That reflex took away an African hero. A real hero who showed the importance of fighting until the very last second and never give up. Someone who could have inspired an entire continent. Now people say Suarez is a national hero. Fine. Put him up as example to your kids.

For a handball on the goal line they should borrow the goaltending rule from basketball. Count the goal and don't bother with the pk.

[Slainte]

Suarez made what everyone with his mind and pride would've made, saving his country in the most important moment.

[Premierr23]

if i were suarez i would have done the same thing. Hard for him though, dunno how long he will be suspended.

1 match

[jacky]

It's absolutely valuable sacrifice for team. Uruguay also very good luck.

[DeluxeLiner]

players are told to do this if it is the only way to save a goal in that kind of situation

[wikkidinsane]

couldnt he have used his head to clear that ball?

[Francesco]

he did the right thing and thanx luis

Again - Suarez didn't get away with anything - he commuted a foul according the rules of the game and was punish accordingly - Henry committed a foul and and got away with it.

Should Suarez be a 'hero'; seems silly, he didn't do anything really amazing, he just made the only option available to him at the time, similiar to if he had pulled down a player on a clear breakaway. I think 'hero' is going to far.

IF, you feel the rule should be changed similar the goaltending rule, thats fine, Im not sure I can argue with you, I would be fine IF that was the rule, but its not.

[mihaita666]

I would have done the same, and many players said that too

Suarez did get away with something. He changed a 100% certain goal and elimination into a better chance for his team. I know it's the rules, but this 'punishment' cost Ghana a certain win, and about 20% on the difference between the goal and the pk. Gamblers would make a killing with that kind of an edge.

Referees often ignore the rules by playing advantage, when the team with the ball benefits from a continuation rather than a free kick. So that shows that the rules are not set in stone and open to interpretation.

[mihaita666]

this is not like basketball, when you deny a falling ball, so, it's perfectly alright

[Karayilan9]

Dark Horse what else could he have done? if he doesn't save the ball they go out.

[lockwoot]

true he did what he had to do , he got punished for it rather lightly though
