DAY 19/30 - LUIS SUAREZ HANDBALL CONTROVERSY 😱

Sports

2010 World Cup. Quarter Final. Uruguay vs Ghana. Last minute of extra time. 1–1. Dominic Adiyiah's header was goal-bound. Certain goal. Africa's first ever World Cup semi-final was seconds away. Then Luis SuΓ‘rez threw up both hands and punched it off the line. Red card. Penalty. SuΓ‘rez walked off β€” 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. SuΓ‘rez 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 β€” 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.
