'I made the best save of the tournament.' 😳 Luis Suarez’s blatant handball prevented Ghana from becoming the first Africa nation to reach a World Cup semi-final 🏆 They meet again in Qatar 🇶🇦
after his goalline handball stopped Ghana's late winner and led to Uruguay qualifying for the 2010 World Cup semi-final."I made the best save of the tournament," he added."Sometimes in training I play as a goalkeeper, so it was worth it."In the 2010 World Cup quarter final, Suarez denied Ghana with the chance to become the first ever African team to qualify for the semi-finals of any World Cup.
They beat South Korea in the last 16, to set up a game against Uruguay and had a chance at making history, with most of the world cheering them on.'s free-kick cancelling out Sulley Muntari's strike, with the crazy Jabulani ball swerving all over the place for both goals.
Others pointed out that this is exactly what you would want from a player in your own team: sacrificing himself, accepting a red card and a ban just to try to get his team into the next round. He obviously received his marching orders for the moment and Ghana had the chance to win the game from the spot, only for Asamoah Gyan to hit the crossbar.What made the moment even less palatable was the villain of the piece celebrating on the sidelines, rather than going down the tunnel.The South Americans went on to win the shoot-out, with Gyan at least making up for his miss moments earlier by scoring his attempt, and Suarez had his moment.
