#2 The Luis Suárez handball
The rules of the beautiful game state that no player other than the goalkeeper is supposed to touch the ball inside the penalty box. But Luis Suárez didn't abide by the rule. He had saved a goal with his outstretched hand in the 120th minute and ensured that Uruguay's hopes in the World Cup remained intact.
In the subsequent penalty, Ghana's Asamoah Gyan shot the ball wide. As a result, the game went to the penalty shootouts where Ghana succumbed. Ghana's dreams of becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup were shattered by Luis Suárez.
Suárez showed no signs of remorse as he stated: "I made the best save of the tournament." Suárez even claimed that 'The Hand of God' now belonged to him.
Moreover, Uruguay's coach Óscar Tabárez defended Suárez: "Saying we cheated Ghana is too harsh a word to use... We also abide by what the referee did. It could have been a mistake. Yes, he stuck his hand out, but it's not cheating. What else do you want? Is Suárez also to blame for Ghana missing the penalty? We try to be dignified, and if we lose a match, we look for the reasons for it. You shouldn't look to third parties."
This led to a lot of debate on sportsmanship. Should the players be reprimanded as a cheat, or be praised for their presence of mind?
