handball at the goalline on Uraguay

Gotta say. There's a rule that could use changing. Uruguay was basically rewarded for illegally preventing a ball from going into the net. Sure, dude should make the PK, but that would have been a goal were it not for a defender batting the ball out of the air with his hand. And there's no speculation because dude was standing on the goal line.

agreed. this is when the ref should simply be permitted to award the goal and red card the offending player.

that was just a cruel, cruel way to lose. i was rooting for ghana, simply because they were the closest thing left to the "home country." i agree with you about uruguay being rewarded. it was the soccer equivalent of goaltending -- and then making the shooter make the free throws instead of automatically awarding his team the points.
