It was Sneijder. He was probably thanking him for heading in his shot for their first goal :lol:

that ball was going into the net regardless, what he really did was blocked the julio from making a play on it.

If I were Suarez, I would have done the same thing. He showed exactly what could happen - a PK miss.

How much can one person's emotions swing? One minute, he's crying, ashamed, walking to the locker room, sure he's cost his team everything.

The next, he's being grabbed by his teammates and pulled back.

And that awful miss by Pereira shows that PKs are NOT easy.

Suarez sent off, Pereira misses a PK....my fantasy team is done. My trip to Europe is gone :(

WOW!!! What balls on that PK by Abreau. What a fucking crazy game. Man there has to be some amazing pictures capturing the players emotion on this one.

Is Suarez out for one or two games on an automatic Red?

I love how the announcer says, "What was Suarez thinking?" LOLZ.

I'm thinking Suarez just made the absolute smartest move on a soccer field in his entire life. Great thinking, great move. Do what you gotta do to get the W.

But I guess the soccer purists will talk about how disgraceful it was and blah blah blah.

That might be the worst lose of a game ever. Lose for a team,a country,and even a continent with that ending. From the handball at the end and the miss of the penalty kick. The swing of the emotion from the game was ridiculous and im sure there are plenty of people around the worldf who will not be sleeping well tonight. some for the happiness and many more for the way Ghana was so close to moving on. All i can say is UNREAL Ending to a soccer game. Fell really bad for the Ghana players, especially the guy who missed the penalty kick at 120 minute mark.

get ready for a heavyweight battle tomorrow morning ;)

Absolutely man.

Soccer purists can suck it. You do what you gotta do to win a game, especially a game of that magnitude.

Props to him. He's my new favorite player, my 1st ever favorite soccer player. :lol:
