DAY 19/30 - LUIS SUAREZ HANDBALL CONTROVERSY ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Sports

2010 World Cup. Quarter Final. Uruguay vs Ghana. Last minute of extra time. 1โ€“1. Dominic Adiyiah's header was goal-bound. Certain goal. Africa's first ever World Cup semi-final was seconds away. Then Luis Suรกrez threw up both hands and punched it off the line. Red card. Penalty. Suรกrez walked off โ€” and celebrated on the touchline. Asamoah Gyan stepped up. Hit the crossbar. The penalty was missed. Uruguay won on penalties. Ghana were out. An entire continent was heartbroken. Suรกrez called it the "Hand of God of the 21st century." He said any player in the world would have done the same. He had no regrets. Ghana had their chance and missed it. The rules worked exactly as they were designed. And yet โ€” it felt like the biggest robbery in World Cup history. To this day Africa has never reached a World Cup semi-final. One punch. One crossbar. One dream denied. 30 Days. 30 Iconic Moments. Day 19 of 30. ๐Ÿท๏ธ Meta Tags: Suarez handball 2010 World Cup, Uruguay vs Ghana 2010, Suarez red card handball, Gyan missed penalty 2010, Africa World Cup semi final, most controversial World Cup moment, Suarez hand of God 21st century, Ghana heartbreak 2010, South Africa 2010 World Cup, Suarez punch goal line, iconic World Cup moments, greatest controversies football, Dominic Adiyiah header, Uruguay Ghana quarter final, Gyan crossbar penalty Hashtags: #Suarez #LuisSuarez #WorldCup2010 #UruguayvGhana #Handball #RedCard #Ghana #Uruguay #GyanPenalty #Football #Soccer #IconicMoments #30Days30Moments #WorldCupMoments #FootballHistory #Suarez2010 #Controversy #Africa #Heartbreak #GoatMoment #Shorts #YouTubeShorts #FootballEdit #FootballNostalgia #WorldCupCountdown #HandOfGod

He didn't break a rule he got the red as per rules so that's not unfair

What if Ghana converted that opportunity?? Suarez would have become a villain for his own nation. But the result had gone his way, so he became the saviour who sacrificed himself for the sake of his nation. In the same way Zidane's headbutt can also have a different story. The thing is there is always another side of a coin and when you flip it the result is not in your control. In sports like football especially when someone plays for his nation they always try to control the controllable and the rest is the luck/fate which gives the final verdict.

I watched the match... it was kind of a roller-coaster for both the teams... still believe it was not a mistake but a sudden reflx action at the extreme level.

He was absolutely right because he got the red card whereas the Ghana player missed the penalty
