Perhaps, but how can you possibly say that the most deserving team won, if Suarez had not DELIBERATELY hit it away with his had. Ghana would have won.
I went to the Fan Fest of Germany versus Argentina in South Africa, man that was a weird game 4-0!

If you were playing for England (or whatever country you are from), wouldn't you have done the same thing? Any player in the world would. The most deserving team won because Uruguay were the best team if you look at the whole game, Uruguay were the better team.

He's not offside. If he's level, he's not offside.

In my opinion, something needs to be done about goal-line handballs. Even if the offending player is sent off and a penalty is awarded, there is the chance that the player will miss the penalty, when clearly a goal should have stood.

Phil Neville did this a few years ago in a Merseyside derby against Liverpool. I would have been pretty annoyed if Kuyt's penalty was saved. Luckily, Dirk is a penalty beast.

But seriously, Ghana were robbed. Felt so so bad for them.
^^^ his body was level, but his foot was offside

I was so happy that ghana lost after they robbed the USA pf getting to the quarterfinals,honestly USA deserved the win more then Ghana did,I hate ghana so much! >Unhappy
that hand ball of the line was genius imo,lol like the saying goes "if your not cheating your not trying"
but seriously theres been heaps of cheating in this world cup and alot of teams have been screwed over because theres no such thing as a video reff in football Uncertain i realy think that needs to be fixed consider the time it takes to replay it and confirm if it was a goal or someone was cheating ect would only be like 1min at the most so it wouldnt add heaps of time to it which ive read is the biggest concer or something

Come on, that's just childish. They obviously did not deserve to win because they did not.
Wow, that goal from van Bronckhorst was truly spectacular.

Point taken SK.
i hope spain or germany rapes holland in the final.
would be horrible if van bommel, the dirtiest and most disgusting player in the game, won a world cup
HAHAHAH fair point

clive tyldesley, a famous uk commentator, wouldn't stop picking him up on his numerous fouls today.

will be supporting the finalists who come out of tomorrow's match regardless, anyway. :]

---

incidentally, any uk viewers (benkei ... ?) find it pretty weird listening to just one commentator today, haha? beglin, poor guy. was generally a bit awkward, though.
Yeah, you could tell he was finding it difficult.

Van Bommel is a disgrace and should have been sent off
Barca 1 - 0 Poland

7/7 of spains goals have been scored by barca players. LOL
VIVA ESPANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

gutted for torres though, what a nightmare world cup
Wow, what a close final!
netherland just lost
my hopes and dreams are gone
what an amount of yellow cards o.o

WOOT i was rooting for spain the whole tournament!!
Barca win the double. League and World Cup Cool Cool Feels good
I thought Spain and Neatherland were going to penalties until Spain score near the end of extra time
Viva España! La mejor final que haya visto! Felicitaciones España! Estupendo gol de Iniesta!

Desde Mexico, saludos
Diego Folan wins Player of the tournament and really deserves it. He almost single-handedly took Uruguay to the semis.
Diego kicked carp in the 3rd place match with an injury

sucks he didnt make the kick Unhappy

poor suarez
I hate Suarez, he's such a cheater! In Africa we're talking about him everywhere saying his a cheater. Ghana could have gone farther.
