what a thriller!

Wow, what a match.

uruguay win... but fuck fuck.. i lost money with brazil and this game..

The hand of god!!!

Oh please. This one was so close you couldn't fit a blonde pube between the two sides. :1orglaugh

But I was pretty sure Ghana did not want to have it go to a shootout. Uruguay in my opinion are much stronger and more experienced in a shootout situation, as is now painfully evident (for Ghananians).

jajajajajajaa :1orglaugh

oooooooo NO !!! Ghana played fantastic ! :(

Tomud

I don't think even the Baggio choke of 94 compares to this. How many chances are you going to have to get a penalty on the last play of the game on your home continent? Gyan is going to get executed.

African nations have been known to be chokers in soccer and just terrible penalty kick takers. I'm kinda glad though because I was going to feel so bad for Suarez. He did what he had to do to save the game. But now Uruguay has to play Holland without their leading scorer.

I know, i'm just 'fucking' with you guys :)

URUGUAY!!! El loco Abreu está re loco!!!

I was so close from a heart attack... La mano de Dios es rioplatense!!

Fucking urugay volleyball gaylords

Ma que god ni que god, fue la mano de muslera!

Wow what a game ..shame it came down to penalties.. I think Ghana played so well

Congrats to Uruguay

Based on today's play I don't see Uruguay getting by the NL, with or without their leading scorer.

We still have Forlán

I didn't say there was no chance for Uruguay, I just said I don't see them getting past the NL.

And I don't.

But who knows, maybe they'll surprise me.

You gotta give credit to Ghana for that though, they played their hearts out. And I think Forlan and Suarez would have given the Holland defense trouble.

Viste Monk, jeje te dije que el loco ABREU la iba a picar!

Impresionante. Felicitaciones al pueblo Uruguayo, están en semifinales.

Que gran partido, muy entretenido sobre todo para el espectador neutral, igual hinche para Uruguay.

.

Y si, el si no le hace honor a su apodo no es feliz.

congrats uruguay!

Ghana played great and could easily have put this game away on several occasions in the 2nd half AND in the 30 minute OT. The missed penalty kick in the dying seconds is downright scandalous.

And I'm sure Uruguay WILL give the NLs some trouble here and there, I just think based on what I've seen of the two teams that the Dutchies will take it.

Either way this is already a world cup to remember.


I'll add this though: IF for some reason FIFA continues with their mental breakdown and they don't institute a system for instant replay for both challenge and review, then when 2014 rolls around I think countries should start backing out and withholding their teams. Yes it's that big a deal. These obvious missed calls and obvious goals not counted is just needless and absurd.

Even pro tennis has instant replay/challenge. TENNIS!

i dont think there was much difference in the match..
and that last penalty was initiated from a fault that never happened by fucile...
anyways GO URUGUAY CARAJO!!!

and as seen in this match - anyone can win on uy-nl

Yeah the final minutes for any Uruguay or Ghana fan had to be very intense. I think that Uruguay needs a miracle to beat Holland and end up in the final, but you never know!

funny how the handball + red card ended up saving them.lol

Gotta make some sacrifice if you want to win.

he was crying.lol then he got all happy when he saw the penalty was missed, but i credit this loss to gyan. how did he miss the PK

unbelievable! I almost break into tears a second before he kicked it!

i cried when USA qualified and scored that goal :(

has anyone cried at all during the worldcup

he will be eaten alive for missed PK

btw i gotta give props to uruguay goalkeeper..

that mofo made some good PK saves

I completely agree. They should back out until FIFA institutes some kind of technology. I've watched every world cup since 1994 and this has been the worst.. Not only because of the refs and lack of technology, but the quality of play isn't what it once was, especially in the 90s when you had SOOOO many superstars actually performing.

Go Uruguay!!!

I watched the game at El Chivito de Oro, a restaurant owned by Uruguayans in Jackson Heights, NY. It was like being back in Montevideo. Countless Uruguayans everywhere and the celebration after the game was just amazing!!

That hand ball was cheating, plain and simple. Unsportsmanlike.

hence PK and red card..

Wtf are you talking about it? Suarez did what he had to do and he took one for the team. I applaud him for that.

I understand the rules but that doesn't make this shit right.

You'd be cool if your team was on the receiving end of this nonsense?

Did you lose all your bets?

My damn DVR cut off the game at the beginning of OT. :(

its part of the game, all came from a fault that never existed.. its not fair but it happened..
then they missed the penalty... their fault..

it seems like it takes more than the referees help to beat uruguay ;)

He got ejected from the game and from the next one, what more do you want? How can you call this unfair? Ghana had a 1 in a million chance at the end of that game and they blew it. There was nothing unfair about it.
