Handballing a certainty of a goal off the goal line in the last minute that would otherwise have guaranteed your exit from the tournament isn't cheating? :confused:

What about diving and pretending to be injured when tripped accidentally to have an opponent sent off? Fernando Torres against Chile. Haven't heard a single call for them to be in an undeserving position.

Suarez was sent off and Ghana got a penalty which is precisely what the rules state for the act of handling on the line which anyone in their right mind would have done in a split second to save their own team. It isn't cheating but it isn't right and Suarez paid the right price for it. Why then don't Uruguay deserve their place when Ghana couldn't beat them - with a chance from a free-kick that should never have been awarded?

No, it's a foul. A penalty was given and he was sent off. If he had been through on goal and brought down by the last man would that have been cheating?

And for the third time in response to this juvenile THEY ARE CHEATERS crap. What about the penalty that Uruguay weren't given for Pantsil's foul? And what about the dive to win the freekick leading to the last minute shenanigans? Was that not cheating?

It would with the Dutch winning and making up for their loss in 78 to Argentina.

Holland with Cruyff couldn't win it. Holland with Van Basten couldn't win it. Yet this Holland could - and that devastates me as I dislike virtually the entire squad this time around and don't even think they're particularly good...but then they've beaten everyone they've been asked to..in qualifying too and always in 90 minutes. Gah :(

Goal for Uruguay but surely too late.
