Ghana got too carried away with 'revenge' against Uruguay today. At one point they were parking the bus to prevent Uruguay from advancing instead of trying to tie the game themselves, 2-2 would have advanced them.
The Suarez handball has never bothered me. I think we would all want our players to do the same thing in that situation. Yes, I would want Alphonso Davies to do that in a World Cup quarterfinal if he were unfortunate enough to be in that situation. And the Ghanaian player absolutely dove to get the free kick that started the whole thing so we can't talk about 'fair play'.
And it's not like Suarez went unpunished. He gave up a penalty, got sent off and was suspended two games (the rest of the tournament). He missed the semifinal and would have missed the final if they advanced.
