Luis Suarez was the hero for Uruguay as he saved a certain goal for Ghana with his hands. His patriotic act helped his country progress to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time in 40 years, but at the same time martyred himself as his red card rules him out of Tuesday's game against the Netherlands.
The 2nd of July is without doubt a proud day for African football. No African team will now disgrace the semi-finals and this is a step forward for football. Now, let us appreciate the heroics of Luis Suarez again. Truly, as he put it after the game:
"It was worth it to be sent off in this way. It was complicated and tough. We suffered to the end but the hand of God, it's mine now."
Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal in 1986? That's like, so passé.
Are you watching, Robert Green?

With fans like this,how can any country not do well in the World Cup? Larissa Riquelme is the best thing that has happened for this insipid tournament. You can be ensured that the Paraguay players will have their eyes on the ball while their opponents will be caught out ball-watching. I knew I made the right choice when I supported Paraguay when they played Japan. And I am definitely going to support them again! Bye bye Spain!
Such passion!
