Why not it was very clever from him to do that.
It's unfair, he's a player not a goal keeperWhy not it was very clever from him to do that.
the problem is with the rules of FIFA . they have a strange law of awarding a penalty when the ball is about to go into the net , it should be awarded directly a goal with the red card and not a penalty with the red card . i feel really sad for Ghana , i was rooting for them to reach the semis . but Suarez must be a hero for his country for what he did today , even i would have done the same if i were in his place .
nothing strange about that, the ball didn't enter the goal so it cannot be a goal, the same would happen (albeit punished with a yellow card) if the ball was intentionally stopped with a hand from exiting the playing field (the ball isn't out, thus no throw-in gets performed)Originally Posted by crystal
for me and millions of others around the world are of the opinion that a goal should be awarded as this was a different thing altogether where the ball was obstructed from going into the net and not a handball somewhere in the midfield . even a blind man could probably see that the ball was going into the net was was saved from Suarez's hands from the line . for such exceptional situations the rule should be revised and should not be a red card and a penalty but goal awarded directly + the red card . if this Suarez incident is taken lightly , then in future players during dying moments of the game will stand on the line just block the ball by their hands and all 11 will turn goalkeepers , play handball rather than football and take a red card for the team .
the reasoning behind rules afaik is to keep them as simple/clear as possible and avoid going too much into details (special cases, opinion based decisions) as it complicates decision making and widens the possibilities of alternative interpretations, thus making it harder to defend the logic behind them (especially if the nuance between decisions gets too subtle)
in this light, the rule that if the ball didn't enter the goal (or more generally, didn't cross the line) then there is no basis to assume (the interpretation area) it did (or possibly would) is quite a good example of a simple/clear rule
as for players just standing at the goal line - afaik there is no explicit rule against it and it obviously isn't a popular/useful tactics, otherwise just about everyone would attempt such a defense, ie. it would be used on a large scale
further, loosing a player (hand play - red card) is a serious disadvantage for any team, especially when the teams are at a similar level/skill of playing
furthermore, having a penalty kick in football is getting as close as possible to scoring without being obstructed by other players
and lastly these rules have been used for years now (some even decades or more) and it seems they are generally working rather well and therefore need no major revision (except, for example, the camera usage for determining whether the ball has crossed the goal line) unless there is a (substantial) increase in unexpected/illegal moves/habits of the game participants or other negative game elements
he must play every world cup!
wow, that sacrifice! winning at all cost. everything for the team, for your country...
when he was sent out crying it was just sad. and then when they missed the penalty..
what's more shocking is Brazil is out and so is Argentina!
It depends on whether you cheer for Ghana or Uruguay.he must play every world cup!

Both Holland and Germany deserved their place in the semi-final.what's more shocking is Brazil is out and so is Argentina!
4-0 what a crushing defeat for Argentina especially for Mardona, he should be ashamed of himself and get a job other than coaching

Coach isn't fault when players don't know to play...that way my grandma could play if it depends on coach
He simply still thinks as a player not as a coach. Attacking with 5 won't get him anywhere other than his home.Coach isn't fault when players don't know to play...that way my grandma could play if it depends on coach
Players!!
Messi, Higuain , De maria and Tevez and you're talking about players!
If he knew how to put the best formation and create a balance between attack and defense, then there is no reason for not wining the world cup.
What a failed coach!

Failed players!!spoiled little ballerinas!!they are not f**ck robots so you can control and program them how to play. they even blame the ball...
A good manager knows how to control his players.Failed players!!spoiled little ballerinas!!they are not f**ck robots so you can control and program them how to play. they even blame the ball...
Look at the German team, they look like robots, every player has a specific task to do assigned by the manger and the result is an organized team
The Germany wich win 4-0 with Argentina is a relly surprise ! I'm shocked !
true that yoyojojo. They're like robotic army from germany especially when defending.
you right there,but every team has some given task,the problem is just that some players don't listen and accomplish the given task.maybe the point is that Germans are not so technically good so they have no other then to listen and hold to tactics unlike Argentina which have good players that think they can make something better all by them self.Look at the German team, they look like robots, every player has a specific task to do assigned by the manger and the result is an organized team
Maybe Germans are some freaking robots
