at first i thought that he couldve headed the ball instead of punching it.
but the replays suggested that it was too far from his head and the ball was fast
And to think I was calling him an idiot earlier in the game because he was diving so much... which I still have a gripe about but still. The point is, it wasn't a dirty sneaking handball, I'm sure he was positive he would get caught and sent off but did it because it was the only thing he could do to save Uruguay from elimination.
wasn't dishonorable at all, just instinctive, he's countries about to go out he just reacts to the situation without a seconds thought and the only viable option to prevent the goal is to block it, he is caught out, dismissed.
And if Gyan had scored, nobody would even care how dishonorable he has acted. btw as you see from the immediate reactions of the ghanaian players when the pk was awarded, everybody was clapping and grateful for the pk.
only the miss leads to the anger with suarez, like you search for an alibi and the ultimate scapegoat.
