A red card, PK and disqualification from the next game as a penalty in the Suarez situation (the defender is behind the goal line and hand balls a certain goal) is simply not good enough especially on the last play of the game with the game tied. That's a huge injustice. Not talking about a hand ball in the box, but one from inside the goal line done intentionally. I think Refs should have discretion in cases like Suarez to give an automatic goal or TKO the violator by awarding the game to the other side -- that to me is fair.
I guess to each his own.... but would you have the same penalty at the beginning of the game and the end I would think that awarding a game after 1 minute of play because someone did a hand ball like the guy did... not good..
I can see that Ghana will say we would have won the game IF we were awarded the goal... but the ball did not go in... maybe it would have hit the guys face, deflected into the other guys face that was next to him... hit the crossbar, bounced down and never have gone in... the thing is... we do NOT know for sure it would have gone in... sure... I would bet that 9999 out of 10,000 times it would have... but we actually do not know (the one guy was there and there was another.. remember...)...
He got the worst penalty that can be given in soccer....
On another note.... WOW... did you see Germany take apart Argentina
I will have to revise my pick... I think it is Germany's year...
