Too much Ghana whining. They had their fair shot and blew it....twice.

No it's not, the ball being handed off the line is a sure goal. Penalties aren't as certain as people seem to think they are.
I didn't really care who won, I actually had both teams in my office pool oddly enough, but there's an injustice when a team gets nothing but benefit from a play like that. It's a loophole in the rules that really shouldn't be there.
