Luis Suarez’s deliberate handball at the end of extra time in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Cup denied Ghana its place as the first African team to reach the semis. Suarez celebrated wildly on the sidelines when Asamoah Gyan missed the penalty.
“I don't apologize because I take the handball and the red card but the Ghana player missed the penalty. It's not my fault because I didn't miss the penalty,” Suarez said.
Though the match in Al Wakrah has been circled as one to watch ever since the World Cup draw was made, Ghana coach Otto Addo tried his best to cast it as a “normal game” despite 2010 remaining a raw and painful memory for many Ghanaians, who are demanding revenge for the handball.
