The most stupid Handball in Women Football ever (Germany-South Korea)

Why is Uruguay happy about making it as far as they did?

How can you be proud of making it to the semi finals when you know that you cheated. There is a reason a handball is againts the rules! The spirit of the rule takes effect because you cant determined if a goal was going in or now so therefore you make the opposing player shoot a penalty kick. In this case, the ball was CLEARLY going to be a goal if the cheater by the name of suarez did not block the ball with his hand.

For you morons who are happy that Uruguay took out a deserving Ghana team… this is no different than a basketball player sticking his hand through the rim to prevent a last second shot from going in to win the game! The ref will not make a player shoot free throws like they did to Ghana. It should have been an automatic goal! just because the rule says that there should be a penalty kick doesnt mean that he was “playing by the rules”… he is a cheater and takes the beauty of soccer away from the game!

Why are you posting this babble in the Geography section?

Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
