Surely this is a big advert for penalty goals being allowable, as per penalty tries in rugby?
Drugs? Don't be stupid.
Nobbling their best player? That's something of a tradition, isn't it. All great players get kicked from pillar to post for 90 minutes. Your teams does it. My team does it.
Don't know why Fifa bother with promoting all this "Fair Play" stuff as obviously a lot of countries don't take any notice.
Fifa are just a bunch of corrupt old sods who like to line their own pockets, plus do their best to make sure British teams are never successful again - same applies to Uefa too. Rant over

its not cheating, he took one for the team
Yes they missed the pen, so it is themselves to blame for that, and losing at the pen shootout.
I think I would blame the guy who cheated to stop me scoring in the first place, instead of losing honourably like the game should be played. Disgusting
Why are they taking an unnecessary penalty in the first place when they used their honest hard work to achieve it the way it should be.
To the rescue:Hope Holland batter them
Worst incident of the World Cup by a mile.

This. We'd be all be laughing if that was an England player and we'd just got through as a result. As I said, as long as your teams win, who cares?!

I don't see the cheating here.
Cheating means he got away with it. He got caught, got sent off. Then Ghana had the chance to win it from the spot, nobody cheat Ghana out of that missed pen.
Everything from the handball on was by the rules. If the ref didn't see the handball and then Uruguay won the shootout then I would agree they have cheated.
Its not the same as maradonna scored the hand of god goal and he got away with it.

you obviously dont watch much football
everyone cheats, by diving for penalties but handling the ball isnt cheating its taking one for the team, if he got away with it then it is cheating
That would require technology.............
I agree though, the ball would have clearly crossed the line it it was not for the handball.

Had he not handled, it was a definite goal. That's cheating in anyone's book.

spot on - he took one for the team
Poor Ghana 
Good character for Gyan to take their first, but it's a shame the way they went out. Was surprised Boateng didn't step up though, he is a penalty taker (and misser). Gutted
Thing is though, couldn't he have headed it? It didn't look like it was too hard for him to.

Yes, they had a cracking chance to win the game, the cheat was sent off, as punishment, and they had a penalty to win the game. They missed and the game carries on. I thought this was how it happens in every football match???
