Absolutely. The further your team gets in a tournament, the more painful it gets to lose on penalties... and Ghana were really taking the game to Uruguay, and should've had that.
I hope Holland knock them out of it in the next round. That handball is bad karma.
(Oh, and I really wanted Ghana to win, so I'm a teeny bit jealous of Uruguay.)
GTFOHWTBS, any player defending goal like that would have done the same. You wouldn't be trying if you didnt stick your hand out like that. It was the only way to stop that goal at that distance.
And, what's all this talk about Ghana "deserved" to win the game? F*ck em! Im still salty they beat the US.
Mad lulz at "sportsmanship," talk... When Ghana feigns death in extra time, it's part of the game. When Suarez stops the ball and gets punished, it's deplorable.
Soccer also has a lot of, "they deserved ______," talk, which to me, has no place in sport. If you win, you deserved it. If you don't, you didn't...I know this is very American or something, but it is something I can't get behind in sports.

Tony Fernandez would not agree with your mad lulz'ing of sportsmanship, gareth. (Was he the Blue Jay in those "Fair play...it's the only way to play" ads back in the 80s? Anyone??)
Believe me, I was also (less) frustrated by the series of "injuries" that the Ghana team were rolling around with. I hate that sh*t. Makes players look like babies.
Saying: I thought Ghana deserved the goal at the end insofar as only a clearly illegal handball prevented the score but this ain't basketball. Still have to make your PK count and Gyan flubbed it. Heartbreaker but didn't seem unfair.

i feel very very bad for Gyan... and what was up with Mensah's penalty? Terrible.
The Dutch will beat them 3-0
I think the harder question is who will the Dutch play in the final...
Tomorrow is going to be awesome.
Am I missing something here? He saved what would have been a goal, was correctly punished for it AND Ghana choked on calitalizing off it.
No you got everything right, still.... fuck suarez
Sportsmanship.

THIS IS TEH MAGIC OF THE SOCCERBALL.
THIS IS WHY WE KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE PUNISHMENT.
And speaking on wipeouts: as a one-man superpower of sports predictions, I would always advise against those...
Damn.
Ghana! GHANA!!!!
That was harsh.

and Suarez did the right thing... but the karma gods didn't get it right.
And I do believe that you've just made my point. It's called FOOTball. Maybe as an American you weren't aware of that minor detail. (Just kidding!)
DRAMA
I wonder what the FIFA president will say about THAT.

And yeah the canary thing is a reference to Brazil's Canarinho nickname.

You are correct sir. Uruguay is through bc of suarez taking on the keepers role.
