Siannah: Well it did for me. It's the same guy who took off like being stricken by lightning against South Africas Goalkeeper to get a penalty.
You can also see how he moved his head forward, trying to make it appear as if he defended with his head instead of his hand - that's NOT instinct, it's acting. Not to mention his "What? Me? What have I done?" gesture following the red card. Puts him in the same league with Thierry Henry in the qualifications against Ireland.
Uruguai was done and buried in overtime. Their first shot on goal was in the 114. minute. So yes, Ghana should have made it through. Still, Gyan missed his first penalty, so I can live with it. But congratulations aren't in order here.
It doesn't matter in the end. They'll get the Netherlands as next team and that Uruguai I saw, won't stand a snowball chance in hell against it.
I don't care what players do as long as they (and their teams) get punished according to the rules.
It's nothing like what Henry did. It's not like Maradona's hand of god. It's not like any of those situations where players get away with their stunts and their teams benefit from it without consequences. Uruguai, and Suarez, got punished. Ghana missed their chance, period. Get over it.
Uruguai won fair and square, according to the rules all players and all teams play by, without any 'aid' from the referee or any shit like that, so congratulations are very much in order.
If you tell me that you don't care much for Suarez or for players in general who do this or that i can accept that, but that has nothing to do with Uruguai's merit in moving on.
How you feel about how well Ghana played it's neither here or there. Sometimes isn't the best team who wins, it's the team who makes less mistakes, or the team that doesn't flinch when it really matters, and that's what happened.
