Suarez did the right thing but, on the balance of play, I think Ghana probably deserved to win. They should certainly feel proud of what they achieved. Such a rough way to go out, for any team.

yes, they played better but they lost their shit in the penalties-- 3 times. that counts for something...

uruguay without fucile and suarez and maybe without godin and lugano is going to be in deep shit before holland, who will likely move on to the final.

If everyone did that the concept of competition would die

ghana tried plenty of filthy stuff including a dive in the penalty area (that uruguay soon followed).

the rules were applied, suarez committed suicide to save that ball. winners win first and apologize later-- his stunt paid off though it cost him a card and the penalty (last minute? good gamble).

Yeah, and even without the suspensions that game will've taken a helluva lot out of them, both physically and mentally.

yah i don't get what's filthy by it? he knew the penalty for it. and the ref saw it and sent him off. Ghana blew it on PKs... sucks to go out that way, but it happens

Exactly, it's a professional decision. If I were a Uruguayan and Suarez hadn't done what he did, I'd have gone mental.

she was. is yours?

ghana may feel bad but probably not as bad as paris hilton does right now:

lol

Tell that to the Ghanaians.

Given what happened, I imagine the Ghanaians would be the first to agree with Ikara.

Amsterdam exploded after the game yesterday.
I hope you partied as hard as we did, pokkeherrie!

The pubs were playing Brazilian samba all night long.

Brasil! La La La La La La La La... La La La La La La La La...
La La La La La La La La. Vai para casa, Brazil!

I'm seriously psyched for the germany/argentina game in the morning. I'm gonna wake up before noon for the first time in weeks to watch this shit. it's gonna be epic.

yeah, even more than the Holland-Brazil game, I think the Germany-Argentina game is gonna be fascinating.

GERMANY - ARGENTINA, people!

they better provide

I just love the drama that has unfolded the past few games. the ghana/uruguay game was pure epic. I didn't give a shit about either team but that was by far the most exciting game yet. here's to hoping the germany/argentina match is gonna be just as epic if not more.

Possibly. I had a massive hangover this morning and noticed that the jeans I wore yesterday have been practically ripped in half. I can't believe I didn't even notice this happening last night.
